What comes first: faith above reason, or the drop of unification?
Or does it develop simultanously? And does the resulting transformation of the being attracts the kind of life you live?
Paul,
The drop of unity is the birth of our spiritual life, the seed that if we plant it in a good environment will give us spiritual fruits.
The work in faith above reason is that, it is inner work that we do, meaning we increase the greatness of spirituality, of the Creator, of love and bestowal. The Creator’s work is to create the evil, well what we perceive as evil, that is, there is me and outside of me there is everything else. If I feel something is mine, then I love it, if it is not mine, I have all sorts of criticisms on everyone and everything. But the kabbalists tell us from their degree about a reality that everything is connected in one. So while I feel separation in my vessels, in my reason, I accustom myself to ride on top of my reason, to go above my reason. To attain true faith, it is already called attainment, since there is not such a thing as blind faith in this wisdom, only attainment. Faith means literally a degree of attainment, of perception that is above my mind. Whereas I have my mind and it feels what it feels and also, above that, there is faith which feels a different reality and both exist together. For example if you could be conscious of breathing, you say, ok, I’m breathing, but also I’m running my business. So the breathing is one level of my life and running my business is another level of my life. Similarly, here we have a thought, an action which belongs to reason, which belongs to this world and we have faith which belongs to the spiritual world.
