How Can We Achieve Faith Above Reason?

239What is the Creator’s game with us? It is to be in union with the Creator above our sensations in the desire to receive.

If the Creator were revealed, a person would not be able to leave the feeling of connection with the Creator, with the root. One would be forcibly merged with Him and would never be able leave the system of reward and punishment. A person would not be able to build himself, because he would neglect the sensations in the Kelim (vessels) and would be merged with the Creator.

The Creator would suppress one’s feelings in the Kelim of reception. We see that sometimes we are so excited that we are ready to give everything, and we want to remain in a state where material things are unimportant. This happens if we feel the illumination from above for a while. But this situation connects us to the Creator, not by our choice or our decision, and not against the Kelim of reception. This is not the right path.

Therefore, faith is called the result of feeling the Creator when He is important, great in my eyes, rather than because He fills me.

We need to achieve a “true-false” assessment rather than a “bitter-sweet” feeling, so that truth and falsehood determine how I act and what I decide, rather than a bitter or sweet feeling in the desire to receive.

If I move from the feeling of bitter or sweet to the understanding of true and false, it is considered that I rise above reason. This is only possible if I make a full reversal. I need to consider that focusing on the true-false category is more important because it adheres me to the upper.
