Question: Are the souls that are here today the same souls from past generations or are they, as it were, new awakenings?

Answer: A soul is a desire aimed at attaining the quality of bestowal, at connecting with others. Each time it is new because it goes through all sorts of changes. So it cannot be said that it is the same soul as before. There is no such thing.

You can rise to the same level that Abraham was on, and then you will literally feel everything that he felt as if you dwell in him. It is not the same soul, but what is called Ibur Neshamot—the impregnation of souls.

Question: When people awaken spiritually, must they necessarily have a Reshimo from a previous state, or is it a new awakening?

Answer: There is nothing new. The Creator created one unified soul called Adam from the word “Domeh (similar), that is, similar to the Creator. Then it shattered into many parts, each of which is a private soul that is in each of us and in general in all people in all generations.

Comment: There are different souls, i.e., those who are awakened by the Creator and there are those who must awaken through us. It seems like this group coincides with those who came to Abraham in Ancient Babylon and became the people of Israel.

My Response: You do not need to elaborate on this because you will not understand anything anyway since you do not attain these souls at the level at which they were. It is useless to assume anything. You will only confuse yourself with incorrect conclusions.

It has nothing to do with those souls. They have done their job and continue their correction at other levels. After all, souls are at all levels of the spiritual world and our world. There are only those who have never been subject to correction.

Once we were all in the common soul of Adam, then we fell to the level of our world, and today we begin our ascent. We should not be confused with the souls of Abraham’s time or others. Someday, you will reveal this in practice, not based on your imagination.

When receiving an awakening from above, you need to know what to do with it: unite with each other, attract the upper light, etc. The closer you become to each other, the more actively you will realize your new properties.

In these properties, you will attain new states up to those upper ones in which the souls used to be or are now, for example, Abraham, Terah, and others. These are high levels.

Consequently, as long as the individual is troubled with concerns for himself, he is unfit to begin observing the Mitzva “Love your friend as yourself.”

The spiritual structure is perfect. It cannot be that one part of it works and another does not because the integral inclusion of everyone in everyone determines the conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for everyone to be completely corrected. That means that each person must feel their inclusion in absolutely everyone and everyone in them.

Apart from the small particle Malchut, which is within me, everything else is from everyone else. Only one point of Malchut within me is mine. Therefore, it can only work to unite everyone within me. Your point of Malchut is intended only to unite everyone within you. And so on.

The integral system presupposes a simple combination of its parts where each part consists of only one point, which annuls itself and works entirely for the sake of bestowal. And what does it give? That which it receives from the Creator. And to whom does it give it? It gives it to all those points within it from all the other parts. It is all simple.

In principle, no person has anything except what they receive from the Creator and what they give to others. And who are they? Nobody, a zero. But they make themselves this way; they receive everything from the Creator on one side and give it all to others on the other while themselves are a conduit from the Creator to the others. That is the work of each element of the integral system. That is what we must achieve.

And then there is nothing to fear, think about, or discuss. One must simply be a transitional element from one to the others—from the Creator to the creations and from the creations to the Creator. That is the best state where everyone is free and perfect!

In this state, there is everything from all creation—one attains a complete sense of the Creator, the entire world, and all souls within themselves. On one hand they are equal to Adam, the collective soul; on the other hand they are within the filling of this soul. Thus, everyone includes both creation and the Creator within ourselves, even though we are merely one point.

Once, we were all together in one desire, in what is known as ‘Adam’s soul,’ filled with light. Then that state fragmented and in each of us remained a spark of that light, which used to fill us with the qualities of bestowal, love, and mutual connection.

Now, it is just a spark without a course, without any direction. Therefore, we can say that there is something in us, but we do not know what.

The questions arise: what can we ask from our friends, and what can we absorb from them to fuel this spark and turn it into a light that fills my great desire, which will help us return to that same soul to immense desire and fulfillment?

From our past state, we retain Reshimot (spiritual informational records) that we have something to return to and something to start with.

So we must urge and prod each other to truly desire to find ourselves in that state again.

Question: You said that a person has nothing of his own, only what he receives from the Creator and what he can give to others.

If everyone should feel the common soul, at what point does he begin to see it from beginning to end?

Answer: We will feel the common soul when we become a spiritual embryo. That is the first spiritual degree we aim to ascend to.

As soon as we reach the first degree of connection, we will immediately begin to feel ourselves as a single whole at the level of Aviut de Shoresh, that is, at 1/125^th of the entire soul. Nevertheless, it will be a feeling for all of us together.

Question: When we mutually integrate into each other, we will feel unity 620 times stronger than it was initially at the formation of the common soul. Does this state also include all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human?

Answer: This refers to the spiritual dimension. Therefore, if you are talking about the common soul or about some particular attainment, then in spirituality the particular and the general are equal. A part is not a part of the whole, but the same whole.

The 620 parts are practically the entire spiritual Partzuf, attainment from Malchut to Bina. But in principle, these 620 are further divided into dozens of parts.

248 parts from Bina to Tifferet (RAMACH) and 365 from Tifferet to Malchut sum up to 613 parts (TARYAG) plus seven additional parts, which are a total of 620 parts (TAPACH). But 620 are the parts of the soul into which it is generally divided, and each of the parts also consists of 620. Thus, spirituality always consists of 620 parts.

Just as a person has all sorts of small and large organs, bones, and tendons so does the spiritual body.

When we perform some spiritual actions of bestowal, of approaching, we constantly renew and correct these desires. And how this happens, we do not yet feel and do not know, but we will later definitely see and attain it.

There is indeed only one soul in the world… .That same soul exists in all the children of Israel, complete in each and every one, as in Adam HaRishon, since the spiritual is indivisible and cannot be cut—which is rather a trait of corporeal things.

Rather, saying that there are 600,000 souls and sparks of souls appears as though it is divided by the force of the body of each person (Baal HaSulam, Article “600,000 Souls”).

Every person has a soul, and this same soul is present in everyone. We cannot truly imagine this. It is like the theory of relativity—not everyone can grasp what it describes, and the spiritual world is even more challenging to comprehend.

There are several principles that we accept on faith because Kabbalists speak of them from their experience. Until we cross the Machsom, the barrier separating our perception of our world from the perception of the spiritual world, we cannot fully understand them.

In the spiritual world, there is only one soul that exists in each of us and in all of us together. It is not that if the soul is in each person, it is a small part of the collective soul, and if it is in everyone, it is one collective soul. No, it is one and the same soul.

Everything depends on how much a person reveals this soul. In other words, the extent to which he acquires the quality of bestowal, connection, and love determines how much he perceives the collective soul, whether in greater or lesser volume. But essentially, it is always one and constantly shines upon him.

In our perception of reality, we cannot imagine that the collective soul, being one for everyone, can reside in each person’s perception, or be felt as a part.

Our egoism prevents us from seeing it fully. For this reason, two discernments were made in the corporeal body, [meaning, in the egoistic perception]: In the first discernment, one feels one’s soul as a unique organ and does not understand that this is the whole of Israel. [This is the only thing created by the Creator.]

In the second discernment, the true light of the soul of Israel does not shine on him in all its power of illumination, but only partially, by the measure he has purified himself by returning to the collective.

The sign for the body’s complete correction is when one feels that one’s soul exists in the whole of Israel, in each and every one of them, for which he does not feel himself as an individual, for one depends on the other.

At that time, he is complete, flawless, and the soul truly shines on him in its fullest power, as it appeared in Adam HaRishon… . [That is, as it was in the state in which it was created by the Creator.]

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that only in the measure of unity with other souls is the common soul attained. What is this measure of unity?

Answer: The measure of unity is determined by the fact that, despite the egoism that separates us, we try to unite, think the same way, imagine the same way, and strive for the same goal.

Alike does not mean that we have to be like soldiers. No! We must try to come to a common goal, to a common path, to common steps, but each based on his or her own nature. This is the connection.

The law of mutual guarantee is the law of life, the law of existence, the law of development. At every level where nature wishes to create something that exists, it creates its individual parts and compels them to coexist according to the law of mutual guarantee, which originates from nature itself.

In our world, we observe this at the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels. Man is the connection of people with each other, not each of us, but all people above our natural egoism. When we, as individual particles, are ready to connect to create a correct society, we are called “Adam” meaning “similar to the Creator.”

Therefore, the system of mutual guarantee is crucial in our time. We see humanity becoming increasingly confused, unable to find itself, and practically writhing in convulsions. Although everyone understands that connection is necessary, they also understand that it is impossible due to our egoistic nature.

The wisdom of Kabbalah comes to our aid and explains that we have no choice but to unite; otherwise, things will only get worse. On one hand, we increasingly need each other and cannot escape this planet to distance ourselves from each other. On the other hand, we must connect. The method of connection is inherent in nature itself and is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, which teaches us how to correctly receive all kinds of fulfillment from each other.

Compared to other parts of nature, a human being is a creature that rises above its animalistic side and becomes a social element by creating society, state, and family, not just a temporary family for reproduction, like animals, but a long-term family. Then he develops industry, science, art, etc. Everything that exists within a person is the makings for one’s elevation to a spiritual level through the connection of one’s  inner parts.

How does this happen? We exist in our world to push a person toward returning to the spiritual state where one was initially. First, we create various communication systems between us, such as trade, financial systems, etc. We engage in wars and alliances just to understand how we can progress.

After undergoing multiple splits and disappointment in the ability to unite properly, we turn to Kabbalah. The first to turn to it was Adam, 5,780 years ago. He was the first to reveal this system.

The system’s design is providing humanity with the means to connect correctly. This connection, known as a mutual guarantee or Arvut, can be achieved similarly to how inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels achieve connection within the systems existing in our world. If we study these systems, we will see that they operate according to mutual guarantee. For example, each part of the human body is responsible for the entire organism. Feeling its responsibility, it automatically acts as needed to maintain the physiological life of all other parts. That is why the body exists.

However, when the connection between parts of the organism fails, a person immediately becomes ill. And if the interconnection between cells and internal systems further fails, the person dies. The same applies to society. This law operates at all levels.
