Adam – We Share One Common Soul
Originally, one soul of Adam was created, which divided into 600,000 souls, each of which divides into a great number of sparks.
However, the spiritual doesn’t divide into parts. Therefore, in reality there exists only one soul of Adam and it is contained wholly within each individual. The soul is divided into 600,000 parts by man’s egoism.
Initially, egoism expels and distances the Light from the soul. But if the ego undergoes correction through the study of Kabbalah, then the common soul shines in it.
Therefore, there are various circumstances with regard to the person:
1. He feels his individual soul and doesn’t understand that it is – the common soul,
2. Corresponding to the level of unity with the souls, the Light of the common soul shines within him,
3. When egoism is completely corrected, he feels that his soul exists in everyone, and the common soul shines for him to the fullest degree, as it does in Adam.
From here the three periods of man’s spiritual growth are created:

3. Approaches perfection in bestowing to the Creator; connects to the common soul. [Read more →]
