The virtue of intuitive connection
With your permission, I would like to clarify two points:
1. In your opinion, keeping the commandments requires faith – Ahad Ha'am has not kept the commandments since his days. However, you accept the fact that there are levels in serving God. That is, the foundation is faith. But on this foundation, if someone also adds intentions and the eternal correction of the glory – this is certainly a step up. Am I wrong in this (simplistic) presentation?
2. In the past, I presented to you two models for a person who believes in God. One from philosophical evidence of this or that kind. The other, from direct intuition. I asked you whether you see a certain superiority of one over the other in relation to God, and you claimed that you do not know how to measure connections. I would be happy for you to explain more. In other matters, in the idea of good, for example, do you not see an advantage in someone who is endowed with a direct intonation towards good over someone who arrived at it through other inferences? On the surface, it is quite obvious that one sees the 'substance of the thing' while the other 'only' knows about its existence. On the surface, this is an understandable distinction between perceiving the thing itself through intuition or hearing 'from other vessels' (the parable of the blind man and the room of furniture, etc.). Or do you mean that although intuition may bring you to a more direct connection, it ultimately has no value, because we were only commanded to observe the commandments?
Thank you and please arrange this for me.
