Question: What is faith above reason?

Answer: Faith above reason means that I rise above my nature and enter the state in which the Creator is, and it is opposite to me, to the way I am today.

The Creator is the quality of bestowal, universal connection, and global love. Initially, I didn’t have this quality. But if I can somehow create it in myself, gather it, and reveal it, then it will be above my current egoistic nature and will be called faith above reason.

After all, reason is what happens in my nature, in egoism, in understanding and feeling. And when I rise above it and want to act in the opposite way, then I will be in the quality opposite to reason—in faith above reason. Opposite does not mean “contrary.”

In our simple understanding of life there are generally a lot of such inconsistencies that you need to first get around and then try to feel, because faith above reason comes in the feeling that there is such a state as the upper world, as rising above yourself, as life in the name of bestowal, and you want to find this state.

When a person has such an inner motion, he begins to prepare for the exit from egoistic slavery. This follows from the fact that a force called the upper surrounding light acts on him for a certain, but long period.

This force is caused by the desire and actions of a person to change himself. And although they are egoistic in their inner content, they are altruistic in their purpose.

If a person receives such an impact from his work in a group during Kabbalah lessons and wants to gain additional strength, to gain a  quality above this world, then it gradually begins to originate and develop in him like the intrauterine development of the fetus. And then this quality of faith above reason is born and begins to exist on its own. It is called the soul.

Speaking in the language of Kabbalah, a person adheres to Binah, as if detaching himself from Malchut. Therefore faith above reason is the quality of Binah, which prevails over the quality of Malchut, or the quality of bestowal, which is realized over the quality of reception, or the desire to bestow, which is organized above the desire to receive.

According to this principle, the construction of a common soul is arranged. This is the principle by which we exist in the spiritual world. We have to build this in ourselves. Until then, none of us has a soul. There is only a physical body, which is not mentioned at all in Kabbalah.

In the science of Kabbalah, the body means our egoistic desire to receive and to enjoy; it exists within us and is completely unrelated to the animal body.
