Question: How is it possible to hold on so firmly to the goal during a descent that the descent can be used for ascent so that I am the one descending and it is not the Creator casting me down?
Answer: I must govern this descent and decide for myself that I need to descend. I prepare myself in advance for the descent, the way one prepares for a surgical operation.
What will help me not “lose my head” during the descent, not to fall under the power of desires? It is connection with the goal so that I feel the descent without losing myself, but instead rise. By myself, I cannot guarantee this.
Therefore, I need the right environment that will support me when I lose control over myself as a result of excessively strong desires.
When the spiritual embryo reaches the time to be born, that is, to move to the level of nurturing, how can it connect these two states, if at birth it loses its previous level, turning “head downward”?
And how does it manage from this state of complete loss, “head downward,” not to become a miscarriage, but to be born into a new world and adhere to the Creator at a higher level?
For this purpose, different Reshimot of Aviut and Hitlabshut (from desire and from light) (1, 0) are given. As a result, I can always connect to two levels at the same time. This is what helps me to be born.

Question: What is the logic in faith above reason?
Answer: In faith above reason, there is the logic of the upper. The logic of the lower is when I look at the world through my own mind and feelings, and thus exist. But in this way, I move along a plane only on my own level, and I can never rise above it.
This is called faith below reason or faith within reason, and faith, the quality of bestowal, is not above reason and does not determine my actions.
In faith above reason, it is as if I remove my glasses from my eyes and see nothing but the upper. I am ready to join the upper in everything He wishes.
I want to acquire His feeling and His knowledge through the force of adhesion with Him. In this action, I am ready to completely annul myself, to part with my own “settings.”
When I attain His degree, I already have His faith (His quality of bestowal) and knowledge that are higher than what I had before.
By the force of greater bestowal, I also acquire upper reason. This is called faith above the previous reason. In this way, I attain a higher degree.
Therefore, those who walk by faith above reason actually add reason, because they acquire new vessels of perception, since reason, attainment, the light of Hochma spreads only within the light of Hassadim (bestowal, faith).
And those who cannot rise above their reason within an animalistic mind cling to the same state in which they are, want nothing more, and are unable to annul their opinion before a higher degree, before the teacher; they attain nothing and remain animals.
They may be clever and intelligent within the limits of their own reason, but they will not even understand that the upper wisdom exists. After all, the upper wisdom always seems as though it has no foundation beneath it.

Question: How does a Kabbalist educate himself? How did you do this when you began the spiritual path with your teacher RABASH? What was the biggest problem in self-education?
Answer: The biggest problem is to determine that it is the Creator who is educating you and that you must be in constant contact with Him.
It is very difficult to remain in this thought all the time, to not detach from it. If you grasp it, do not let go of it, and constantly subconsciously feel the connection with the Creator, then this is where the proper education begins from.
Question: Why does the Creator not educate us by example, as is customary in our world?
Answer: Your entire life consists of examples of the Creator’s education. If you are in any state, at every moment in time, begin to tell yourself: “This I receive from the Creator. What does He want from me? How should I react, how should I act?” That will be a great achievement.
Question: But a person cannot understand what the Creator wants from him. I can say that everything is from the Creator, but it is impossible to say for what purpose He did this.
Answer: This is not important. First, say that everything comes from the Creator, constantly ask what He wants from this, until the Creator reveals Himself and shows you what He truly wants. This is precisely the raising of MAN.
You do not have to detach from the Creator; He constantly holds you by the “scruff of the neck.” And you develop your sensitivity. If suddenly He stops holding you, you immediately turn around: “Where did He go, where is He?” This is a pleasant state. Why run away from it?
