Faith Above Reason Is Boundless

562.01Moses had several roles, but his main task was to bring the concept of faith and the method of connecting to the Creator to the people of Israel. Therefore there is no other person or rather no quality or task that is more important than Moses. This is called the Torah of Moses with the help of which we reach the purpose of our creation.

The problem is that we do not understand what faith is because it is not what people think. Faith is a force that draws a person to the Creator from below upward.

Therefore, without faith, even the slightest advancement, even one step toward the purpose of creation is impossible.

Faith is a force that raises us from the below upward, from the desire to receive pleasure to the quality of bestowal. Faith is the force of the Creator.

We should not underestimate the word “faith,” as if it is something minor. After all, it is the force of the Creator that a person acquires.

Faith is a higher concept than knowledge because faith is boundless; it has no limitations that can hold it. After all, faith is bestowal, the force of the Creator, which no one can stop. It is not limited by the Kelim of the one who has faith, but only by those Kelim that he acquired outside of himself. And outside of himself is infinity, the Creator, and people, and he himself is like a point.

It turns out that the quality of faith is unlimited. This is why we must reach faith in order to feel ourselves in the same state as the Creator. It is impossible to imagine in any other way what spirituality, bestowal, love, and exiting oneself is. It is like going into outer space beyond the limits of gravity where all the vastness of the universe opens before you.

This is how the entire creation is revealed before us, and only the measure of faith that you have acquired limits the sphere of your attainment. Therefore the quality of faith is the most exalted quality. It allows us to begin to feel ourselves somewhat like the Creator.

It happens that faith contradicts knowledge, but Kabbalah teaches that all our knowledge is perceived within faith. To the extent that we can rise above egoistic desires, we learn the desires of bestowal and what kind of fulfillment can be inside them, as well as who gave us the desires of reception, the desires of bestowal, the screen, and the reflected light.

Therefore the study of Kabbalah and acquiring faith does not limit a person, but on the contrary opens him up.

It is impossible to transfer faith from one to another or demonstrate it. One can only advise what to do to rise to a higher degree of faith. This is a quality that is revealed only within one who has acquired faith since faith can only be reached above the reason of a person.

To the extent that he himself makes efforts and rises above his egoistic desires, he acquires vessels to attain faith. This is how he builds the Creator within himself, and therefore he is called man, Adam, similar to the Creator, specifically through the force of faith.
