1) How and why does Rav Soloveitchik use prayer as a way for us to understand our Adam II personalities?
2) p. 43 The fenced-in, egocentric, and ego-oriented Adam the first is ineligible to join the covenantal prayer community of which G-d is a fellow member – why is this the case?
3) In the context of explaining the role of “time”, Rav Soloveitchik presents a false outlook on time – explain the passage below:
p. 53 he is not a hitchhiker suddenly invited to get into a swiftly traveling vehicle which emerged from nowhere and from which he will be dropped into the abyss of timelessness while the vehicle will rush on into parts unknown, continually taking on new passengers and dropping the old ones
4a) Why can’t we just choose to lead a life of Adam I or Adam II? Doesn’t an Adam II lifestyle of connection and relationship with G-d at all times sound like the right path to spirituality? Why not just live on a mountain, alone, and prayer 24/7?
