Part 3:
Faith Above Reason - Selected Excerpts from the Sources. #87
1. R. (03:16) I see that people are tired and the weekend is coming. Let us see what else we have here.
2. S. (03:39) Towards the end of the lesson something that came up about the fact that we cannot reach a certain state, we are talking about Ibur, conception, it is something general. There are things like “above reason” we do not know what that is, we cannot reach it, there is a distance.
R. Stop working with your brain. Not that you do not need it but believe that there is an even higher brain than yours. And, to ascend from your tiny brain to a bigger brain; you can only do it under the condition that you go by accepting that there is something above you that is called “ascending above reason” above your reason, to go above it; so every time you have a stronger reason. That is it. Above reason means to acquire a greater mind but not greater according to your mind but according to what really is a higher and completely different dimension is working that upper mind. That is why you need to rid yourself of your limitations, your intellect and acquire a greater one.
Imagine that a cat looks at you and you want to tell it something and he wants to understand, what you want, and what you want to tell him, but it cannot. How can you expand his vessels of perception to feel this world, the reasons, the results, the connection between things? How can you explain it to a cat? The same way we are in a much worse way and relative to Kabbalists who want to pull us to their degree, so how do we do it? What should we do here? It is a problem. So, it is only by, between a small intellect to a greater intellect and even greater and even greater; there is what we call faith, Emuna, it means that we annul ourselves towards the upper one and then we can ascend to His degree. There, we can activate our mind but it will be a new mind already the mind of the upper one and, there too we will receive that state, living in it for a while and after feeling for a while what is happening in this new mind, then we are going to have to rise again in faith above reason; in the force of bestowal above the force of reason and even a higher degree and then we’ll activate our reason again. That is why as much as we annul our reason in order to ascend in faith above that reason, we will acquire an even higher reason; just like in an elevator that we rise. That is what we need to do. That is what is before us. Think about it, bring us even more examples if you want but this is actually the style of our ascent.
3. S. (08:18) About the ten plagues, are we doing the same action as Kabbalists when we walk in faith above reason?
R. Let us say yes, we will check it later on again.
4. S. (08:47) What does it mean to feel the desires of a friend?
R. To feel the desires of their friend means to clothe in him.
S. What does it mean?
R. To annul oneself in order to want all your forces to clothe in your friend, feel what he feels in order to help him, to connect with him.
S. There are ten friends in the ten.
R. You annul towards the other nine.
S. Then want you to feel?
R. Then we feel that we annul ourselves completely and then, we annul towards the Creator.
5. S. (09:44) To accept the friend as is I have to restrict myself and to ask the Creator to give me the strength to accept the friend?
R. Yes.
S. Immediately ask to fulfill the friend with whatever he wants?
R. Maybe I do not know.
S. Or with what the Creator wants to fill the friend?
R. It is complicated. I want to annul towards the friends so along with them to attain the purpose of creation. And it is attained by the Creator being between us.
S. Then a person acquires the force of bestowal, Hassadim?
R. Yes.
S. He needs to be thankful because he felt this fulfillment in his vessel?
R. Yes.
