Likutei Sichos – Vol 02 p 471 ff Class 25. The Yid. Part one. The Zohar vs. the Midrash, Who needs who? The religion needs the Yid (the practitioner) or yid needs Yiddishkeit?  

Class Eleven. Three levels: 1) faith, 2) reason, 3) higher than reason. Page 253-4.

Class Ten. Three levels and in this order: 1)Reason, 2)Ein Sof that can be understood, 3) higher than reason.

The normal answer is understood by the issue of the ‘Nekuda HahaFlaa’ in RaMbaM: that there are two kinds of ‘k’dima’ (precedence) in time and in necessity.
