Functions of Different Souls
Why do you need corporeal life if you are below the level of intention? To reach this level by your free choice! Therefore, before attaining the correct intentions, you must be in a state where you have nothing in common with them.
At the same time, you must have some sense of existence, and with this sense, you gradually come to understand intentions and enter what is called the spiritual world, that is, into the development of intention, and continue to engage with it.
You are the one who does this. That is why there must be a certain preliminary reality, called “this world,” from which you begin your independent movement.
But once you’ve acquired this tool having the Rosh, Toch, and Sof of a Partzuf, you continue onward with them, and you no longer need this world. Can any physical actions here still help you? Regardless of whether they can or not, the existence of this world does not interfere with your living in intention, in the spiritual world.
Even now, you can sit here with everything you possess and, at the same time, be in Atzilut with a fully functioning Partzuf. And conversely, you could be only there, without your physical body.
That already depends on your role in relation to all other souls: How much you must be in contact with them, what your function is with respect to them, and whether you must remain in a physical body.
If you must, then even if you yourself no longer need to reincarnate, you will still do so. These are different kinds of calculations.
This is what happens with great Kabbalists. You see, one and the same soul from Adam, through Abraham, Moses, Rabbi Shimon, the Ari, and Baal HaSulam keeps reincarnating. Does it need that for itself?
