Question: In order to cross the Machsom (barrier), must I use faith above reason?

Answer: Faith above reason is the spiritual Kli (vessel), the quality of the Creator embodied within me. When Malchut acquires the quality of Bina, this is called faith above reason. Reason is the quality of Malchut, faith is the quality of Bina, and thus Bina within Malchut is called faith above reason.

If a person uses faith above reason in order to fill Malchut, this is a property of Klipa (impurity, shell). But if he uses Malchut according to its proper purpose, this is the process of holiness. That is, either it is bestowal for the sake of receiving, bestowal for the sake of bestowal, or receiving for the sake of bestowal.

Question: In what forms is this faith used after the Machsom?

Answer: Faith above reason, the force of Bina, can be used in two forms. In our world, there is also a reflection of this: I can bestow to another person, yet by doing so receive for myself. In a concealed form we are always receiving; it only appears to us that we are bestowing.

If my intention is to use the Creator for my own sake, this is called Pharaoh or Klipa. But if I turn to the Creator for His sake alone, without the involvement of my own interests, this is called the pure form of faith above reason, holiness.
