In near-death experiences, the corporeal body is no longer a disturbance. People feel as if they belong to something other than what they identified as their body. The mind continues working and processing corporeal information, albeit differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Near-death experiences express a boundary between our corporeal life and its death. It is a boundary where we end our contact with information we received through our body, mind and corporeal senses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In such states, our desire diminishes, and its disappearance equates to the person\u2019s disappearance. In other words, the feeling of life we experience in our individual desires (food, sex, family) and social desires (money, honor, control, knowledge) fully vanishes and we agree with its withdrawal, ceasing to receive, feel, live and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sensation of freedom from the corporeal body marks a shift to a new state. This new state, however, is still not death, neither is it spirituality nor eternity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <span><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.kabbalah.info\/spiritual2\/?utm_source=what-happens-when-you-die&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=spages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabbalah<\/a><\/span>, it is purely psychological. Whatever we feel in such states is limited and miniscule compared to the sensations of eternity and wholeness, which Kabbalah states we can attain a lot more vividly while we\u2019re still alive in this world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How? It is b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">y attaining our soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"soul\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is the Soul? Does It Belong to Our Body? Does the Body\u2019s Death Mark the Soul\u2019s Birth, or Can We Attain Our Soul While We\u2019re Alive?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <span><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.kabbalah.info\/spiritual2\/?utm_source=what-happens-when-you-die&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=spages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabbalah<\/a><\/span>, the soul is not something we enter after our body&#8217;s death. Instead, it is something we need to attain a clear perception and sensation of while we\u2019re alive. If we don\u2019t attain our soul while we\u2019re alive, then it\u2019s considered that we don\u2019t have one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The soul is a desire above our egoistic, corporeal desires. That is, above our desires for food, sex, family, money, honor, control and knowledge, there is a small desire that asks about the meaning and purpose behind everything we experience: the meaning of life. This desire is a small point, called \u201cthe point in the heart\u201d in <span><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.kabbalah.info\/spiritual2\/?utm_source=what-happens-when-you-die&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=spages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabbalah<\/a><\/span>, which we have an opportunity to develop. The full development of this point is considered the attainment of the soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attaining the soul is like feeling an additional life to our current one, a life that was hidden from us. When we attain contact with the soul, it becomes the center of our life. We reevaluate our current life and start relating to it on a completely different level. Death of the physical body then becomes like changing one&#8217;s shirt. In other words, when our physical body dies, we continue reincarnating in a new body until the full extent of the soul is attained, called in <span><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.kabbalah.info\/spiritual2\/?utm_source=what-happens-when-you-die&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=spages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabbalah<\/a><\/span>, &#8220;125 degrees of spiritual attainment.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we don\u2019t attain spirituality, then all that remains is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reshimo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a &#8220;reminiscence&#8221; or &#8220;record&#8221;).

However, does it mean that we lose it all? No. It is being passed on in the form of personality attributes. This explains why, in every new generation, children are better adapted to life than adults. For example, children are instinctively proficient with the latest technologies and gadgets, while the older generation finds them more complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In each successive generation, the will to receive undergoes an upgrade. If the will to receive fails to bring a person to spiritual development, then it shifts to a new stage, to another opportunity. All the problems, pains and knowledge gradually accumulate from one generation to the next, toward the need for spiritual development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is what the wisdom of <span><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.kabbalah.info\/spiritual2\/?utm_source=what-happens-when-you-die&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=spages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kabbalah<\/a><\/span>\u00a0was made for.
