The fact that the soul and the body are \u201clinked\u201d in one person does not mean that the body influences the soul, because the soul is a desire to give (bestow), something which does not exist in the body\u2019s nature. In principle, the soul must change in a person, it must be corrected. This is why it is sent to the lowest level of creation \u2013 this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The body gives the soul something \u201cextra\u201d that allows it to exist until a person is able to identify with the soul rather than with one\u2019s corporeal body: the mind and character. Every habit and characteristic that has to do with this world and exists in all people requires no correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person should not suffer because of one\u2019s characteristics and should not change them in any way, but instead should make contact with the Creator, which is our goal. Character has no bearing on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I advise everyone to research the Creator, study His deeds, His powers and the spiritual laws, instead of delving within self. \u201cOne is where one\u2019s thoughts are.\u201d Therefore, one who is adhesive with the Supreme is&nbsp;<em>in<\/em>&nbsp;the Supreme, and one who lowers self to lower attributes and suffers from them, \u201ceateth his own flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salvation and correction come from Above. A person must only extend upon self the influence of the Upper Light, and that Light will correct everything that needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The character does not change. Man\u2019s characteristics remain the same, because the will to receive exists in us. The will to receive takes a different form in each of us, in character, in perception of life and in desires. The form of the will does not change, only the aim and the use of it, from receiving \u201cfor myself\u201d to an aim \u201cfor the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conception and the birth of man and everything he does in this world arouse no response in the spiritual worlds. They have no effect whatsoever on the soul, because everything in our corporeal world is born and reveals itself before us by evolution from the movement of Upper Forces from up downward, as described: \u201cThere is not a grass below that does not have an angel above, that strikes it and says to it: Grow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only our desires to draw near the Creator have any effect on Above. A desire to draw near the Creator is a desire to equalize with Him in His desire to bring us pleasure. These desires are called \u201craising&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>.\u201d If we want to do everything for the Creator, as He wants to do for us, if we ask of Him to give us a chance to do it, than that prayer is felt in Him and He responds to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: What happens to a soul that is dressed in a smart person and how is it affected by such [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":16078,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[27],"class_list":["post-16615","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-michael-laitman"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | Soul, Mind and Character<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;Soul, Mind and Character,&quot;
