Yes. The soul is unrelated to the body. The body has no connection with it, except when the Point in the Heart awakens, one has an awakening to attain one’s soul. Before that, the body is just like any animal. It dies, and it’s as if it never lived. The soul is from before this reality came into existence.
In the related videos there’s the Youtube lessons on the 10 Sefirot, he mentions 2x that the individual soul of Adam is the same individual soul reincarnated all the way down to Ashlag…just by assumption that revelation must have come to Ashlag himself, unless it was prophesied by the Ari. How do we know that it was the same soul? Where is it written? Was it a revelation, a vision, someone’s belief…how can we know it was the same soul, where is it referenced? Toda!
It’s by a Kabbalist’s attainment of the root of his soul and the system of souls.
Baal HaSulam Letter 39, June 17, 1927, London:
“By the Creator’s will, I have been rewarded with a conception* of the soul of the ARI”
*ibur neshamah (עיבור נשמה)
The ARI, Likutey HaShas:
“Know that Rashbi was a spark of Moses our teacher.”
Rabbi Chaim Vital: Sha’ar HaGilgulim:
“Moses and Hillel are from one root. And likewise Rabbi Eliezer … and likewise Rabbenu HaKadosh … and likewise Rashbi.”
“At first, Moses was Abel, who was the son of Adam. Later, he reincarnated into Seth, then Noah…”
Rabbi Avraham Azulai:
“Know that Rav Hamnuna Saba is a reincarnation of Moses, and Rashbi likewise corresponds to Moses our teacher.”
Rabbi Natan Neta Shapira:
“Moses saw what Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai would correct, for he was a spark of his.”
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi:
“It is known that the root of Rashbi’s soul was from a spark of Moses.”
Rav Michael Laitman:
“We indeed hold that this is the same soul that came through Abraham, Moses, Rashbi, the ARI, and Baal HaSulam.”
I can understand the receiving part from the Light. I have glimpses of bestowal or parts of bestowal. I like helping. That has been my profession as a psychologist and mother. However, helping does not incorporate Bestowal. Does it? How can I learn the difference between helping and true Bestowal?
Yes, helping doesn’t involve the spiritual bestowal, the quality of the Creator. Your profession makes the work in the Kabbalistic group even more essential to identifying where bestowal could actually be, since your profession and motherhood are so aligned with the definition of “giving” in our world. Like it or not, you benefit from benefiting your patients and your children. If even a microgram of self-benefit is mixed in, one can’t measure. If one can’t measure, one doesn’t feel they’re MISSING bestowal. If one isn’t missing bestowal, they’ll never be rewarded with it. Hence we need the spiritual group to practice and measure this.
I have lots of questions and a poor memory. In order to complete this section forum, I am just going to comment that I read everything I can on a subject so that I will absorb the essence of the subject until the memory part catches up. I do get little epiphanies along the way.
I like this baby talk, so, are you saying that desire to get rid of pleasure is kind of like someone who became a vegetarian restricting the pleasure of meat, its rejecting but still getting a more genuine pleasure? or like a child’s realizes his toy Airplane is not a real fighter jet? (A rejection) So this is the realization of receiving 20%? (More genuine) Is this also, where Bina (the baby) becomes hofetz hesed? Maybe im mixing things up.
Hi Gianni,
I do not have any questions yet. I prefer to let myself integrate the information/knowledge a little further by listening a second time and by reading the transcript and the material available.. However I am reading the questions of the friends together with your answers and it is enlightening as well.
I really appreciate the course, the lessons and all the material available in it. I understand better the process of creation, its relation to the ten sefirot and the tree of life itself. I think this course provide a good foundation for a beginner like me.
Thank you much,
Lorie
