spirituality information from the Teacher to David 3

The Teacher was telling me that reincarnation is not how many people think it is. The personality is not reborn, nor is the "I." What is reborn is something else, a spark or sparks from the Primoridal soul.

"Each speck of the Primordial Soul has a memory inside of it: of the "past" as we understand it and also of the "present" and the "future."

"As the Eternal creates new souls to inhabit this "reality", he places within that new soul a speck of the Primordial Soul. This is the Tikune, or the repair of the shattered Primordial Man, which burst because the Ein Sof put too much light into it.

"The new soul wraps layers of itself around the speck of the Primordial Soul, covering it with good deeds, and it becomes like a pearl, which has grown from a speck of sand. Then the Eternal harvests this soul, with the speck of the shattered soul, and outside of our "reality", the Creation functions as it was meant to: The desire to receive in order to Create has been the choice of the souls sent to redeem the specks of the Primordial Soul.

"So, to answer you question, David: Yes: a piece of that soul lives within you, with a fragment of the memory of either past, present, or future, but that memory is not you. You are all unique as you go through your life choosing the path of light.

spirituality information from the Teacher to David 2

He remained silent for a long time and finally I asked if he would explain what he meant that in the beginning there was only one Soul.

"Yes, in the beginning, there was just one Soul which was the united soul which is the collective of all beings created by the Eternal, Blessed be He.

This original soul had only one duty: to water the garden. That is, to be a channel of the Eternal Light, bring it into the world of Matter, filling all things with Eternal Life. This is what the Wise call: "The desire to receive in order to create." This was the primordial state of the Primordial Man."

Suddenly his piercing eyes looked at me and he asked a strange question: "Can you drink the ocean dry?"

Confused by the question I stammered and told him that I could never hold that much water.

If you could be a pipe, you could draw on unlimited water as long as you kept nothing for yourself. It is just so with the Eternal Light. Like the ocean, if you plug the pipe, the pipe will explode when it is filled and no longer functioning as designed. This is called by the Wise 'The desire to receive in order to receive.' This then is what happened in the beginning. The Primordial Soul was shattered into infinitesimal pieces and scattered over the 6,000 years allotted by the Eternal for this reality.

Each speck of the Primordial Soul has a memory inside of it: of the "past" as we understand it and also of the "present" and the "future".

spirituality information from the Teacher to David 1

One day, in Hebron, I asked the Teacher about re-incarnation. He answered me like this:

"Know that the written Cabbala is a trap, cleverly designed to leave out or mislead the uninitiated. This is because the knowledge has always been considered too dangerous for the uninitiated to grasp. Therefore it is required that the student learn with the Masters of Cabbala the secrets of the oral traditions which are passed down from father to son and from teacher to student."

Confused, I asked the Teacher if souls are re-incarnated or not. He answered:

"Know that the answer to your question is both yes and no. Much has been misunderstood about transmigration and reincarnation of souls. Many pretend to understand but really are blind to the truth and many more fall into the trap of half-truths."

He remained silent for a long time and finally I asked if he would explain further.

"The greatest truths are most often the simplest which is what makes them hard to understand except by the Wise. Know this: In the beginning, there was just one Soul which was the united soul the Adam Kadmon, which is in effect the collective of all sentient beings created by the Eternal, Blessed be He."
