The music of Kabbalah is an expression of the Kabbalist’s yearning to enter into contact with the Creator, and the completeness of such a connection.

KabU instructor Gil Shir answers your questions based on the first “How Reincarnation Works” session of Kabbalah Explained Simply, available here: https://youtu.be/7jqzdgKWTAo
There are two ways we can think about reincarnation: in relation to the soul’s development, i.e., the ascent from this world to the spiritual world, and also as the succession of generations in this world.
In terms of the latter, reincarnation is the passing down of genetic, material, perceptual and sensory information from one generation to the next.
For instance, the current generation’s children contain information accumulated by their previous generations. This is why children in each generation can quickly work out how to use the technology and tools of their generation.
Humanity’s development thus unfolds as a succession of generations, where we transfer material progress in science, technology, art and culture, as well as psychological advancements and an inner human message, to each successive generation.
In terms of our ascent from this world to the spiritual world, reincarnation starts from when we feel the awakening of a spiritual desire.
Such a desire is expressed as questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
Kabbalah describes this desire as the seed of our soul, and calls it a “point in the heart.”
Depending on how much we feel such a desire, it urges us to seek through various teachers and environments until we find one that we feel can guide us to attain our spiritual root.
Attaining our spiritual root, according to Kabbalah, is our life’s purpose.
By attaining our spiritual root, we receive clear answers to questions about the meaning and purpose of life—clear because they become expressed in us as sensations of attainment of the spiritual world, where our perception opens up to the complete fulfillment and knowledge that exists above the level of our current world, in our soul.
The journey of developing our spiritual desire and reaching the attainment of our spiritual root is by undergoing a series of spiritual reincarnations, until we reach our final destination from where we emerged.
By doing so, we complete our reincarnation cycle.
Kabbalists explain how such a process can take many lifetimes. Thus, if we discontinue this journey, we will return to it in future lives until we eventually attain the root of our soul.
Until we become granted with a spiritual desire, we accumulate suffering via the formerly-mentioned process of reincarnation at the level of this world.
The more we suffer in our development, the more it leads us to ask existential questions, differentiating our spiritual desire from our other desires, and adding to our yearning to rise above this world and attain our spiritual root.

Most explanations of reincarnation and past lives fail to account for this one major aspect that the wisdom of Kabbalah adds.

Gematria is a person’s or soul’s particular internal state, which consists of a spiritual desire (called a “Kli” [“vessel”]) and spiritual light (called “Ohr”) that fills the desire.
It is a way of recording a definitive state of the soul. The totality of all feelings, perceptions, states, memories and intentions that the soul undergoes can be expressed by means of letters or letter sequences known as “Gematria.”

What language was the Bible originally written in? It’s common to question the language of the Bible the moment we seek a deeper inquiry into its spiritual relevance for our lives. Is what we read in our native language authentic and what the authors truly meant?

The ten Sefirot, also known as the Tree of Life, is the structure that we discover as we spiritually ascend from our world to our life’s source.
Spiritual ascent through the Sefirot takes place the moment we discover our soul while in our world. The discovery of our soul is an outcome of drawing a special spiritual energy known as “the light” into our world.
The light develops our initial seed of the soul, which many people in the world feel today. The seed of the soul is a desire for spirituality, known as “the point in the heart,” questions about our life’s deeper meaning and purpose that we cannot find answers to in our corporeal desires.
By drawing the light on our point in the heart, we expand it into a soul, and that soul evolves into ten complete qualities called “Sefirot.” The soul’s complete structure is known as a “Partzuf.”
We draw the spiritual light into those qualities—the Sefirot—and by doing so, we start sensing the spiritual reality.
In other words, we are given Sefirot in order to perceive the spiritual world.
There is a will in nature’s plan that we attain the Sefirot in order to harmonize with nature, becoming its partner. Doing so lets us experience much more joy and awareness in our lives, as through the Sefirot, we ultimately discover the workings of our soul, and then know what we can do at every moment to optimally guide ourselves to none less than spiritual perfection.

Gil Shir opens up the topic of the Tree of Life from perspective of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

What is the true power of our intention? Is it a meaningless thought that runs through your head? Can the “intention” be used in different ways? According to the Wisdom of Kabbalah, it is the most powerful force in reality. If used correctly, it not only has the power to transform your life, but also the world.
Join Gil Shir for Kabbalah Explained Simply to explore the intention and its power – and bring light into your life.

Is there such a thing as a soul? Or are we just a protein body? A collection of cells, or molecules? Perhaps there is a part of us that is outside of what we call “our body”. Something that is part of a timeless system that is far beyond our perception of this life and body we are currently living in.
