5 Levels of the Soul

My exploration of Torah-based Kabbalah has revealed the mechanics of creation that I was previously unaware of. One day, Rabbi Yoel gave me a chart and explained the five levels of the soul to me. I was astonished. I hadn't thought much about the soul before, and when I did, I considered it a single entity. This revelation was truly astounding.

The beauty of the Torah lies in the fact that it literally contains all the answers. I don't say this lightly; I genuinely mean it. This journey was the first of many where, whenever I had questions about profound topics like the creation of the universe, G-d, angels, transmigration, and more, there were answers—many answers.

The Torah Kabbalah must be unveiled in our time. Our understanding of the fundamental purpose of our existence depends on its REVELATION. The distortion of truth, especially regarding these subjects, is significant, but with guidance, maps, and models, we are starting to comprehend what the ancient Sages have been teaching all along. Let's delve into this blog on the five levels of the Soul.

The chart illustrates the five levels of the soul. Each aspect of the soul contains a 'pleroma' or 'spectrum' of soul frequency. The soul is aligned with the Holy Name of Hashem, as shown in this chart, the YHVK. If you're unfamiliar with this name, it's time to learn it. It is not just an ordinary name but a Name Formula that encompasses the entire creative order.

We begin with the Nefesh, the animating force or 'animal force,' which is the lowest level of the Soul. It energizes our body with the consciousness needed to eat, sleep, procreate, and survive. We are born with this level of the soul already revealed and active. This level is associated with the lower Hebrew letter 'Hei' found in Gd's name. The Hei symbolizes a 'vessel' and corresponds to the number 5.

The subsequent level is the Ruach. It is referred to as "wind". It aligns with the Hebrew letter VAV (6), which signifies 'Son' and also means 'nail, or hook.' This level of the soul is typically reached at the age of 12 or 13, around the time of a child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah. This marks the pre-pubescent phase for young individuals.

The next level is the Neshamah, referred to as 'breath', akin to Gd breathing life into your body—this represents the Soul. This level aligns with the second letter HEI in Gd's name. It is a stage that can be reached and activated in the Torah world between the ages of 20-24, typically when a person marries and finds their 'wife.' In the Torah world, the woman symbolizes the "Shekinah," the indwelling light of HaShem (Gd) in our world. When a man marries, he becomes complete, as stated in the Torah.

Why? Because the union of male and female creates a form of 'polarity.' The male represents positive polarity, while the female represents negative polarity. This polarity, similar to a battery, enables them to draw light into their world. Light is not drawn from the upper worlds unless there is a male/female polarity to facilitate it. Like a battery, if there are two male ends or two female ends, light is not generated. Understand this well...

The neshamah is as the Sages of blessed memory tell us, is the highest level of Soul that can be activated by our advancement in a lifetime and that the Chaya and Yechida are the essence and the singularity point of the Soul that is rooted in the upper worlds.

Within you, there are levels of the Soul that progress upward. What does this indicate? Consider, for example, a person who has reached or activated the level of Neshamah of their Nefesh. While the Chaya and Yechida aspects still exist, they are hidden connections beyond this lower world. A person who has attained the Neshamah of their Nefesh would be someone who has disciplined their lower nefesh, the animal instinct. This individual does not merely go through life eating, drinking, sleeping, and engaging in union, but perceives deeper value in these basic desires. They view foundational desires as beneficial and meaningful. A child who is at the nefesh of nefesh level only knows to eat, sleep, and demand their basic needs. It is a survival instinct. At this stage, the baby is not concerned with the purpose of eating, sleeping, etc.; they simply want what they want. As the biological body develops, so does the advancement and activation of the Soul....

Amazing!!
