December 26, 2022 at 7:13 am EST in reply to: Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #307499PeterParticipantI’m confused about the concept of the soul. We learn that one does not have a soul until one grows it from the point in the heart, which is the ‘seed of the soul’.
In the passage below it speaks about souls that desire spiritual elevation.
But the meaning of the point in the heart is a desire for spirituality. So isn’t a soul necessarily ‘desiring’ spiritual elevation?
”We have already stated that in every generation the same souls return, clothed in new bodies and retaining their previous experiences. Therefore, each generation is wiser than the last and aspires for something higher.
During the time of the Ari, the general evolution of the
souls was such that souls desired spiritual elevation and were not satisfied with a mere ordinary life on the level of this world.” - AuthorReplies
