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?
It says there are five partzufim, AA, AVI, and ZON. Why are Aba and Ima paired, as well as Zair Anpin and Nukva? Do I get it right, that this is „Father and Mother“ (AVI) and „son and daughter“ (ZON)? In how does this refer to their qualities? Is this about complementing each other?
Hi Gianni, I listened to the first part of the morning lesson, and we also read Shamati 34 in the ten.  And I felt it was both about „faith“. How can we combat the fear of loosing faith ( especially in the face of knowing that horrible things are happening in corporeality?) Itś not about questioning the creator in being the good that does good, but about the fear of not being strong enough to maintain this perception, or even get back to it. The fear of loosing faith and getting completely lost. In Shamati 34 it says itś „double torment“. And that is exactly how it feels to me. But what is the remedy?
