🔮 Mystical Understanding of the Soul in Judaism

The paragraph delves into the mystical Jewish perspective on the soul, which is considered the source of vitality and a divine spark within us. It outlines five levels of soul consciousness that reflect different levels of vitality. The first level, nefesh, relates to biological vitality, ensuring our basic life functions. The second level, ruach, pertains to emotional vitality, influencing our emotional state. The third level, neshamah, is linked to intellectual vitality, representing our cognitive abilities. These first three levels are considered routine and are integral to our existence as human beings, akin to higher animals with intelligence and emotions. The paragraph emphasizes that while these levels are part of our daily life, they are also seen as the 'animal' part of the soul, not in a derogatory sense but as a fundamental aspect of our being that does not fully distinguish us from other animals.

🌟 The Divine Aspects of the Soul and Transcendence

This paragraph continues the exploration of the soul's levels by introducing the higher, distinctly human, and divine aspects. The fourth level, referred to as chayah, allows individuals to connect with the transcendent, perceiving a reality beyond the physical world. It is a step towards understanding what lies beyond our immediate existence. The fifth and final level, yechidah, is a unique point of connection between the individual and the divine. It is described as a pristine and sublime part of the soul that is not regularly accessible, much like the fourth level. The yechidah represents the divine within the soul, a part of us that is an emanation of the divine. The paragraph concludes by discussing the 'geography' of the soul, suggesting that we possess both animalistic and divine aspects, with the latter leading us towards transcendence and a direct connection with the divine. The summary encapsulates the idea that the soul is a whole that is not divisible, and the levels described are an attempt to locate different energies and sources of vitality within us.

eh uma pergunta que se pode fazer é o

seguinte eh como é que o misticismo

judai compreende ou

percebe a a alma

e a alma é a fonte de vitalidade em

última análise é aquela

e agulha do divino que nós temos em em

nós que nos permite de facto viver ter a

vivência aos mais diferentes níveis

e os níveis de consciencialização da

Alma que de acordo com a tradição

Mística no judaísmo são cinco níveis

refletem exatamente diferentes níveis de

vitalidade não quer dizer que a alma

seja dividida em Cinco partes quer isso

dizer sim que existem estas estas cinco

diferentes formas de energia Se

quisermos que dão vitalidade aos

diferentes níveis eh de

consciencialização

portanto temos e um nível mais básico Se

quisermos o nível e da da Alma Eh que

que se chama

e

nefes e nefes é o nível da Alma que se

relaciona

essencialmente com os aspectos de a

vitalidade a nível biológico portanto

nós estamos vivos existe essa a

vitalidade ao nível biológico um segundo

nível eh que se chama na nossa tradição

ruar é o nível que tem a ver com eh o

nosso nível emocional portanto é a nossa

vitalidade ao nível emocional Se

quisermos pois tem um terceiro nível que

é o nível de n

shamá é eh Se quisermos também o nosso

eh nível de vitalidade

intelectual estas três primeiros

componentes O nefes

Rama portanto esta componente que tem a

ver com a nossa vitalidade do ponto de

vista físico biológico com a

nossa com a nossa vitalidade do ponto de

vista emocional e a nossa vitalidade do

ponto de vista intelectual são

vitalidades que nós

temos

rotineiramente portanto fazem parte da

nossa vida normal e são digamos três

componentes da nossa vitalidade que têm

muito a ver com o facto de nós

existirmos como a seres humanos como eh

como uma forma de animais Se quisermos

inteligentes mas animais eh com muitas

emoções mas animais e estes três níveis

podem de alguma maneira ser

identificados também no no no misticismo

judaico algumas tradições pelo menos

como

a a parte digamos os níveis de consci

realização da alma e com cor respondem à

parte animal da Alma animal não no

sentido de animal de enfim de animais

mas animal no sentido de ser

animalíssimo

animais mas não nos distingue

completamente eh dos

animais e depois temos um outros dois

níveis esses sim que já nos distinguem

muito eh da eh dos outros animais

digamos assim eh e que são primeiro

Portanto o nível número quatro Se

quisermos

eh que é o o nível de raia que é um

nível que nos

permite ligar-nos com o transcendente e

portanto perceber uma realidade para

além de nós e para além não só de nós

mas também para Além Deste Mundo mas

portanto é algo que nos transporta para

fora de nós enquanto que as três

primeiras nív que falamos de conização

São níveis muito aloc centrados mas este

nível quarto da da raia eh é um nível

que nos transporta para fora de nós e

depois finalmente temos o o nível sim

que que que chama-se a Rida e aqui dá e

tem esta ideia de de coisa muito única

que é digamos literalmente um ponto de

conexão entre nós eh e o Divino toda a

alma obviamente que é uma emanação do

divino é uma parte do divino que nós

temos em nós próprios É essa a definição

da alma do ponto de vista Judá mas eh

esta parte de rid é uma parte que é tão

pristina e tão pura e tão Sublime eh que

nós não temos acesso a ela regularmente

da mesma maneira que nós não não temos

acesso regularmente à parte de de ra

aquele nível número quatro que é um

nível que tem a ver

com termos a perceção do que nos

transcende do que nos transcende como

seres humanos cada um de nós e que nos

transcende eh também em termos deste

mundo físico Portanto o nível de

transcendência e o nível de eh Conexão

direta com o Divino portanto estes

níveis quatro e cinco são níveis que são

muito unicamente humanos e de alguma

maneira podem ser identificadas como a

parte Divina da Alma Se quisermos

portanto nós estamos a falar numa

geografia Se quisermos da Alma eh e e

portanto o que isto significa é que

temos aspectos da nossa cons

da Alma que são aspectos animais Se

quisermos e aspectos

divinos os aspectos animais Portanto tem

a ver com a nossa vitalidade são todos

aspectos de vitalidade

biológica vitalidade emocional e

vitalidade intelectual normal que temos

acesso enfim durante a nossa vida normal

e depois os outros níveis são os níveis

divinos Se quisermos que são os divinos

que nos levam à transcendência e a

transcendência em que sentido

transcendência no sentido de considerar

o que está à nossa volta e a conexão com

o Divino são

estas portanto estes cinco níveis

portanto podem ser digamos sumarizados

então no nível que é a alma animal Se

quisermos e a parte Divina da alma e

portanto tudo isto mais uma vez t a

ideia que nós estamos a falar de um todo

que que não é divisível nós estamos

apenas a tentar localizarmos em relação

às diferentes

energias às diferentes fontes de

vitalidade teen als am Shalom
