Chapter 6. Soul, Body and Reincarnation

Hologram - There’s a Likeness

I’d like to hear your commentary on the following ideas. It’s written: “A soul is a part of the Creator. It’s just that the Creator is whole and a soul is a part. Like a stone separated from a mountain, where a mountain is whole and a stone is a part…” Following this comparison, I just wonder if an analogy with a hologram could make a relation between the Creator and a soul easier...

All About the Soul

Where is the soul and what processes occur in it between each descent to this world? Are the questions about changing the soul and receiving a soul relevant only after crossing the barrier?

How Many Souls Does a Kabbalist Have?

Baal HaSulam (Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag) wrote that he would not have been able to attain his degree if the Creator had not placed the soul of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in him. Before that he had his own soul, and after that, the soul of Rabbi Shimon entered him. Did it unite with his original soul, or did he have two souls in one body?..

The Point in the Heart

Are the soul and the point in the heart different names for the same essence? Why are there so many bodies in the world, but only 600,000 souls?..

Read article >>
600,000 Souls

You said in your lectures that only 600,000 souls descend to this world. How is it possible to explain that the number of the physical bodies in this world is much greater and reaches some seven billion? How do 600,000 souls divide among all the people on earth?..

Chronology and Kabbalah

When, according to the conventional calendar, did Adam’s fall occur? Is it worthwhile trying to reconcile the contradiction between the archaeologists’ beliefs and the Creator’s Words? Or is there no contradiction at all?..

The Correction of the Soul of the First Man

The collective soul – the First Man – is a complete, rigid and uniform framework. Still, the souls that comprise it are adaptable, connected and mixed with each other. How can you explain this? Why do the parts of the First Man correct themselves separately instead of as one soul?..

Read article >>
The Singularity of the Soul

How does the fact that each soul is unique and receives the Light according to its own characteristics, agree with what you write. You say that Kabbalists feel all the worlds equally?..

After the breaking of the First Man (the collective soul), 600,000 parts were created. Why, then, are we so different if each of us forms a similar part of something uniform and whole?..

What Limits a Soul

First, a man is limited by his nature, egoism. In the spiritual world, man is limited by the root of his soul, Malchut de Atzilut. Or does this root not limit the possibilities of a soul?..

Birth and Correction

Man is born in our world through the joining of a physical body with its spirit, which may already be at a certain level in the spiritual worlds, meaning, by definition, it can already have a screen. Why, then, is there a need to start from the beginning in the physical world?..

The Soul of Pharaoh

I understand from your words that all the situations that the soul goes through in the spiritual world, materialize later on in our world. If the soul has already gone through the spiritual state called Pharaoh, will this Pharaoh materialize afterwards in our world? Will it be in a body with a soul in the state of Pharaoh, or within a body that answers to the name Pharaoh with his earthly attributes?..
