Q: What is the connection between our body and the spiritual bodies?
A: Anything that happens to the physical bodies in our world corresponds with what happens to the spiritual bodies in the spiritual world, or in spiritual desires. Outside the corporeal world there are only desires called forces, bodies, souls, Partzufim, etc.
A spiritual body is a desire with an aim “for the Creator.” It thus turns out that to the ordinary person in our world with a corporeal body, there is no spiritual body. But a spiritual body, that intent, can be acquired through the wisdom of Kabbalah, which teaches how to acquire a screen, the aim “for the Creator.”
A spiritual body evolves gradually, according to the correction, in the following steps:
-
Conception - when a person is willing to nullify the self completely before the Creator, be dependent on Him and totally accept His Rule;
-
Delivery - the ability to perform the actions alone, instead of through the Creator;
-
Infancy – the period when a person gradually begins to perform certain actions, while the rest are still left for the upper Partzuf - the Creator;
-
Adulthood - a state of complete equivalence of form with the Creator in the current degree.
