Why were the people of Israel divided into twelve tribes? The fact is that there is a four-letter (Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay) or four-phase development of desire. The light that generates desire guides it through these phases, and the last one is egoistic.

It turns out that there are four phases in our soul, and if I feel something, it means that I have gone through the previous stages of development and feel their manifestation in me.

Moreover, spiritual work is carried out along three lines: right, left, and middle. The right line is altruism, the quality of bestowal and love, the left line is egoism.

And I am in the middle line because I have to select from the left line only those egoistic desires that can be corrected, compare them with the right line, and place them together in the center. At this moment, at this phase, this is my prepared soul.

Therefore, the four phases multiplied by three lines result in twelve parts, twelve tribes, twelve fundamental qualities that make up the collective soul.

Each of us does not have a soul; the soul can only be common—one for all. And if we unite in it, we will acquire it; each and every one.
