I am just starting to view the preparatory videos. I like what I here and see so far. I know since I am at the beginning with you I come up with questions. Does Kabbalah teachings consider animals to have souls. One of the first videos says that humans do not have a soul and they only have a spark and will have a soul as they progress spiritually. I may not have it totally correct yet but that is my understanding from the video. I have a long way to go I know.

Welcome Joel!

According to Kabbalah, animals do not possess souls in the same sense that humans can potentially have. Animals are animated by a life-giving force, often called the “animal soul,” which animates their bodies just as it does for human bodies. This force comprises desires that contain a small fraction of the lightthat animates them. Unlike humans, these desires in animals do not require a spiritual correction or alignment between desire and light.

Thanks!

Thank you Chris for your answer.
I hear a lot that animals have more intelligence than was previously thought and that they have emotions similar to humans. Do you feel that according to Kabbalah teachings this outlook could be answered? Also so far I Live the clarity of your answers. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey, my pleasure 🙂

Animals operate purely on instinct, without the complex emotional and intellectual capacities that humans possess. This does not mean that animals do not have emotions or intelligence, but their experiences and actions are dictated by instinct rather than free choice. For example, animals, including pets, can experience emotions such as loyalty and empathy towards humans… they can even sense the owner’s mood and react to it with sincerity and purity. I think we’ve all felt this.

That was I Love the clarity of your answers!

What is the difference between the knowledge of future humanity’s state of the Kabbalists and the Prophets and divination?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Not sure…but Kabbalists tell us what the program of creation is and what the end goal/result will be and this is agreed throughout.

Is Adam the first spiritual stage or human stage, it seems more sense if He is the first human and then later we have a divine human personality and then the fully human enter the first Spiritual stage and then complete merging with the Creator?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Adam represents both the first human and the initial spiritual stage. The subsequent stages described involve the development of a “divine human personality” where a person gradually aligns with spiritual qualities, eventually achieving complete adhesion with the Creator through corrections.

Does Creation’s evolution from matter, vegetative, animate and human and finally the spiritual a journey of Creation to become like G-d?

That is the process. Maybe not to “become like God” although that is a result, but the purpose or goal is to build a place for Him to reveal and for us to become one with Him again.

[mrc s]

Is the World only exist the Creator and Creation, so there are only two beings?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I don’t know about “beings”, Kabbalists don’t describe the Creator as a “being” but as, “I am the first and I am the last.”

[Brad]

they say history repeats itself and that was true. But can we still say that today? Aren’t things happening that never happened before ?
