Hi Gianni, there was an andwer from Rav saying „M. Laitman: That is, from the worst possible state that we are in, if we are able to connect with the Creator, then it can become the best possible state, the most beneficial, the strongest one because from the lowest state, I connect to the Creator who is the highest.“
How is „lowest“ perceived? Is it a matter of distance from the creator? Of feeling separated?
What is the right prayer to ask in terms of helping the ten develop? I understand we thrive to connect more and more, to learn to bestow, to learn to bring contentment to the creator. But how do I turn this to the creator? And does it actually make sense to ask as an indivual or does this prayer have to come from a deep deficiency of all the ten members to be heard at all?
Hi Gianni, I understand that as we progress, the desires become coarser, the amplitude of decents and ascents higher, and at the same time we thrive for more and more connection, annulling before the friends more and more. I can relate to it if I think of it including the physical aspects of life. With respect to a virtual environment, where and how does this increasing coarseness show? And are there limits to virtual tens in terms of perceiving this coarseness or can this work all be done in this virtual realm with some exeptions of attending congresses physically?
Hi Gianni, just re-posting this (I think the question might have been missed, or it was to lengthy, so I shortened it).  I am still wondering about this: it relates to Shamati 184 … about faith and the mind.
1. In Art 184 it says that faith is related to separation, because it is related to corporeality. Does that refer to the fact that faith is something we feel in our bodies as sensations or states, and as states in a human beings come and go, so does faith? And does that mean it is impossible to have persistent faith?
2. Is this why we get moved through ascends and descends all the time… because faith is naturally non-persistent?
3. Does that mean if we aim at faith above reason, itÅ› by nature, that we will have to rebuild this again and again?
THANK YOU 🙂
Just adding to my previous question, because it is really confusing me a bit… I always thought that the mind is so limited it naturally creates separation, and that the ego uses our mind giving us distraction, doubts and all that.  But in Art 184 it says that faith is related to separation, because it is related to corporeality. Does that refer to the fact that faith is something we feel in our bodies as sensations or states, and as states in a human beings come and go, so does faith? And does that mean it is impossible to have persistent faith?
Hi Gianni, I just came across Shamati 184, about faith and mind. Actually itÅ› funny, because I thought a lot about how to keep faith. But from what I read, it sounded like by nature, keeping faith persistently, is impossible. So this quite striked me, and some questions came up:
1. How comes faith is related to corporeality, and the mind to spirituality and not the other way round?
2. Is this why we get moved through ascends and descends all the time… because faith is naturally non-persistent?
3. Does that mean if we aim at faith above reason, itÅ› by nature, that we will have to rebuild this again and again?
4. With respect to the definition of faith and mind in this article, how comes we aim at faith above reason and not the other way round?
