Q&A: The First Existent
The First Existent
Question
Hello Rabbi. I’m in the middle of the notebook on the ontological proof, and now I heard that the content of all the notebooks will be included in the first book of the trilogy. Is it still worth reading the notebooks anyway, or should I wait until the book comes out and read only that (that is, will I miss any content or important points if I do that)?
Thank you
Answer
The version in the book is much more up to date. If you can read it in the book, that is preferable. It will be out, God willing, next week.

How will it be possible to buy it? In any bookstore?
No. We’ll publish details in the coming days. There will be an online store for payment, and pickup at various stations around the country.
Haha, “God willing” is really the exact opposite of the trilogy’s argument in the context of divine intervention!
Well, actually, you could explain it away by saying it’s with the help of the laws of nature that He created, and not through direct help. So there.
I was already asked about this in the past, and I answered.
It’s fine, I also say “hamsa hamsa, garlic onion.” The power of habit….
So, what did the Rabbi answer?
What you wrote: with the help of the nature He created and the abilities that were given to me. And habit too, of course.
Is there anything new in the notebooks regarding the cosmological and physico-theological proofs as well? Significant innovations?
There are significant differences. I don’t remember exactly how much or why. They also incorporate lessons from the discussions on the site and more.
Thanks!
