Above
Reason
Experience doesn't teach us anything
concerning faith above reason, only our striving.
There are those things that are possible to learn only from
experience if the experience relates correctly to the means and elements that
come along on the way. There is only one thing where I don't acquire experience:
faith above reason.
I need the Upper force; I will never be able to ascend a
degree by myself. Nevertheless, I try and make an effort. This is what I must
do. I can't say in advance that I know it's not by my doing. I must make an
attempt to try on my own. And from the real deficiency that is the result of my
trying, I ask for the Surrounding Light to come and perform the act of ascending
for me.

Garden of Eden, Trees of the Garden,
Tree of Knowledge
What are the
spiritual meanings of the concepts: "Garden of Eden," "Trees of
the Garden," and "Tree of Knowledge"?
"Garden of Eden" is the perfect state in which
"Adam" and "Eve" were corrected, in Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE) (Skull and Eyes), in Kelim (vessels) of bestowal only which
are called "All the Trees of the Garden" except for the "Tree of
Knowledge." This state above the Parsa, where there is limitless
bestowal, is the state of readiness built from Above so that we can achieve the
goal of creation, i.e., to correct the AHP (Awzen, Hotem, Peh),
the Kli of reception called "The Tree of Knowledge."
Parsa is
the border that up until that point the attribute of Bina (Intelligence),
the attribute of bestowal, controls the Partzuf (Face).
