You don't learn by having faith. You learn by questioning, by challenging, by re-examining everything you've ever believed.
And yet, all this is a matter of faith
—the faith that there is a truth to be found.
It is another paradox: To truly question, you must truly have faith.
A person's natural inclination is towards self-love. We are dominated by this selfish 'lower' force. In some people the questions arise as to the meaning of life - what is the purpose of life? Why am I in this world? etc.
The Kabbalists discovered that we can only answer these questions not by believing in a Higher Force but only by experiencing this Higher Force.
The way to sense this Upper Force is to relate to it by trying to form the feeling and image of the general upper system which we cannot perceive as an individual part. If a group accomplishes this integrated whole connection which copies the general system, they will feel the life of the Upper Force flowing between them.
They sense and feel His Force. They do not believe or have faith, instead they know this Force that governs us and understand it's goal to bring us to His level within our qualities so that we can become partners in His general integrated system.
In order to break free from the self we ask the questions!
