Not a Trust, but a Check

49.01Question: How can we use the environment in order to attain the Creator? Who can we trust in this world in order to come to the Creator?

Answer: Nobody. What does it mean to trust? What is this childish attitude? A child trusts an adult, gives his hand, and goes with him where he is told to go.

On the contrary, we train a person to constantly check, constantly analyze: Where do you exist, what for, how, and why? In no case can there be any unfounded faith in someone or in something; there is no such thing in Kabbalah!

Faith is the upper force that clothes in you and gives you the quality of bestowal. It is not like in our world when I believe something and go ahead with my eyes closed. There is no such thing!

Here you are taught to look at everything with open eyes, to check, and to trust nothing. This is a science— absolutely clearly coming from practice. Even things that are not attained experimentally in ordinary science are attained here.

Question: Let us say a person comes to the society of Kabbalists, people moving toward a goal, what should his attitude be?

He must perform constant analysis and at the same time try to trust this system. How can he not trust in this case? After all, he needs to move forward.

Answer: What is there to trust? I can only move forward through the acquired quality of bestowal, which is called faith. I work with it like with a force that exists in nature and not in my imagination, like in our world.

Question: Usually a person relies on his opinion because he has an established analysis mechanism. But this is wrong to some extent because it is egoism that creates such a box that I perceive. Is it possible to find some tools here, but not stupid faith, so that there is an analysis and you are not mistaken?

Answer: You are dealing with a clear analysis of states; you are exploring everything on yourself, and therefore there can be no mistakes here. So many repetitions on yourself, within yourself, according to the book, and with others. You see that they describe the same things that happen to you. Then you see that they are really right, that you do go through such things. This is a completely different matter.
