Blind Faith and Higher Mind in Kabbalah

Belief is the agreement to listen and to be part of a Higher Mind. That which decides that it wishes is a sentiment, the vessel, but faith or belief is beyond that—this is true intelligence. 

People who insist on being reasonable refuse to go above their reason to a higher mind, the true intelligence, so they stay reasonable but not intelligent. This is blind faith, where a person is too lazy to struggle and they say to themselves, "Well, let's not deal with it. Let's say I believe in it." Those who go above their reason are intelligent, and then reason can come as a result.

Yesterday’s belief is today’s reason.

This is the meaning of the study: to pull intelligence in order to be able or not to be able to understand it, or to reason it, or even to start to have a feeling of the borders of it. Every time we have a revelation, we meet the border of our consciousness—the border of what we are able to see in ourselves.
