Rabash. What Is Above Reason in the Work?. 6 (1989) [2026-06-10]
The episode explores the profound Kabbalistic concept of 'faith above reason'—not as blind belief, but as a deliberate, conscious choice to align one's will with the Creator despite intellectual contradiction. The speaker argues that true spiritual advancement occurs not through suppressing desire, but by transforming it: the ego is not an enemy to be destroyed, but a force to be corrected and redirected toward giving. This correction happens through a 'sixth sense'—a spiritual perception beyond intellect, developed via the 'mountains and descents' of spiritual work. The key insight? Suffering is not punishment but a revelation of the gap between our desires and the Creator’s nature, a signal to seek correction. Unlike other spiritual paths that repress desire, Kabbalah uses the ego as fuel, refining it through the light of the Creator until the soul achieves 'equivalence of form'—a state where one's desires mirror the Creator’s. The ultimate goal is not to become like God in power, but to become like Him in intention: to receive in order to give. This transformation culminates in Rosh Hashanah, symbolizing the moment when the soul accepts the 'yoke of heaven' not from knowledge, but from faith—proving that spiritual reality is not discovered by the mind, but by the heart’s willing surrender.
Faith above reason is not blind belief, but a conscious, deliberate choice to accept the Creator’s will despite intellectual contradiction.
The ego is not to be repressed but corrected—its desire to receive is the raw material for spiritual transformation.
Suffering reveals the gap between our desires and the Creator’s nature, serving as a necessary signal to seek correction.
True spiritual perception (the 'sixth sense') is not intellectual understanding but a new channel of reception developed through spiritual work.
The goal is not to become powerful like the Creator, but to become like Him in intention—receiving to give, not to receive for oneself.

Introduction to the Concept of 'Faith Above Reason'
The episode begins with an introduction to the core theme: understanding what lies 'above reason' in spiritual work, based on a text by Rabash. The speaker sets the stage by referencing the Rosh Hashanah prayer and the paradox that all knowledge about the Creator is ultimately a reflection of the creature's perception.
The Limits of Knowledge and the Necessity of Faith
“Croyance au-dessus de la connaissance. Et par l'acceptation du jour du roeum des cieux, de cette manière, on mérite ensuite l'aspect de « Tu me rends le Créateur ton Dieu de tout ton cœur et de toute ton âme ».”
The Role of Suffering in Spiritual Correction
“These are the revelations of our differences with the creature. But now, when I suffer, whatever is something that something is going to bite. Simply it's a sign that in something I'm different from him.”
The 'Sixth Sense' and Spiritual Perception
“I hope that I find it in the sixth sense, or in the force of the croyance. The croyance is the knowledge. What does it mean to the croyance? It's in the quality of Bina, that when you acquire it.”
The Difference Between Kabbalah and Other Spiritual Methods
“The difference is simple. First, as soon as the man starts studying the Kabbalah, he begins to develop his desire to receive. And never, no part, it's written that we should reprimer the desire to receive.”
“The ego is not the desire of the desire of the Creator's desire. The ego is the desire of being at the place of the Creator. I would have to ignore it. It is the ego of the man.”
“The difference is simple. First, as soon as the man starts studying the Kabbalah, he begins to develop his desire to receive. And never, no part, it's written that we should reprimer the desire to receive.”
“These are the revelations of our differences with the creature. But now, when I suffer, whatever is something that something is going to bite. Simply it's a sign that in something I'm different from him.”
