Souls of the Worlds

Rabbi Triebitz continues learning through Leshem Shevo ve-Achlama; Hakdamos u-Shearim, shaar beis, perek gimel (and half of dalet).

We learned last time about the five levels of soul within each world – Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya and Yechida. Three of them are immanent within each world, and two are transcendental.

This week Rabbi Triebitz explains the Leshem’s understanding of these five souls in general and in specific. Within each soul of each world there are another five levels (giving ‘nefesh of nefesh in yetzira’ etc.) which allow for Elokus within even the most non-spiritual world, and a smooth continuum of spirituality across the worlds.
