Weekly MMM - Measuring The Soul

Mystical Musical Meditations in Jerusalem

Measuring The Soul

1. The Soul can be felt and tapped into at propitious moments of DEEP FEELING that don’t necessarily apply to what’s going on at the time. [the 'Warsaw Ghetto Rebbe'-- Rav K. K. Shapira z'l]

2. The Soul can be measured and realized by the level of GRASP OF ESOTERIC TEACHINGS that we have. [R.K.K. Shapira z'l]

3. The Soul can be expressed and rectified by the way that we EXPRESS THE WORDS of our prayers and studies and other devotions. [The Baal Shem Tov z'l]

4. The Soul can be identified and realized by taking note of the ’SMOOTHNESS’ level of all the events and relationships and inner drives and words and Mitzvot and Torah that we express and encounter in our lives. All of these are indications of the extent of soul rectification that is still needed (or not) based on earlier encounters we have had in this and in previous lifetimes. [the Ariza'l]

5. The Soul can be measured by the clarity as well as a number of other factors involved in VISUALIZING THE 4 LETTER DIVINE NAME in our mind’s eye. [the Ariza'l]

6. The Soul can be identified and perfected by tapping into the natural VALUES AND DRIVES that we hold by [and want to grow in to]… [R. David Aaron]

7. The Soul can be measured and actualized by the way we EXECUTE A PLAN from its inception all the 
way through to it’s completion. [R. Aryeh Kaplan z'l]

8. The Soul can be measured and perfected by the level of CONCRETE VS. ABSTRACT ARTICULATION with which we see and encounter the world and the way that we express ourselves.
[Alan Aftermann z'l]

9. The Soul can be measured and actualized by the degree of G-DLINESS that pervades our lives. [the Ariza'l and all classic Kabbalistic works]

10. The Soul can be measured and actualized by the degree of TOTAL SELF ACTUALIZATION and realization that we feel and express. [both Kabalistic sources as well as more revealed midos-based, character traits sources]

11. The Soul can be measured and realized by the extent that we CONTAIN OTHERS INSIDE OF OURSELVES. [the Ariza'l]

12. The Soul can be measured and realized by the way and the extent that we PREPARE FOR OUR POST LIFE IN THIS LIFE.
[various Kabbalistic and homiletical sources]

13. The Soul can measured and realized by the way, and to the extent that we are primarily motivated in all of our life choices, to RETURN TO THE INFINITE AND DIVINE WOMB CONSCIOUSNESS that our souls came from prior to being enclothed in our bodies.
