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.
Seth@KabUHi Mark,
Yes, we have all sorts of sensations like that, whether we piece it together and then read about it or we receive some illumination that gives a person an answer to all the questions. You will discover many phenomenon. There are also times where it is impossible to detect any dirt in the house if it is dark. But when you turn on a lamp, you can see that there is dirt there. So when a new light shines we then feel more dark at first.
At this stage of the work, when we are approaching and we have a lot of enthusiasm, it is worthwhile to keep a notebook and write about these things for yourself. The purpose is not to philosophize, but that about such and such, I relate to it. About this I am filled with wonder, about that I wonder what I will discover. And you will be able to use this to begin to establish yourself, to build a foundation in a world that is above the sensations of this world where we were born a few decades ago.
