I envision something more along the lines of not only the mortal flesh joining to become one but the joining of two "nefesh" and "ruarch" with a resulting attachment of "neshama" on the individuals first earthly breath. Whether the reaching out of neshama to yechida extends to/from only one direction will be fun to find out.

Good evening to you A-G. I just want to tell you that I feel like I'm reading about someone I am very familiar with upon reading some of your posts. ps. I keep using "" around the Kabbalist terms because I have never heard of them prior, so to me they are man words describing something I can understand. I love you.

I can see the process. It does seem needlessly complex, though, to the important point of knowing the soul: connection with God. In my experience, the more aware I am of my awareness, the more I'm aware of a greater presence.

I don't sense that that started at birth. I see the connection as not a flow that proceeds from a direction toward a direction, but like a touch that's always been there or an extension of the same thing.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kudsman! I love you too. We ought to feel like we already know each other when we share the same Spirit and thus, the same mind.

The Kabbalist words can be a bit unsettling because not only are they a different language (Hebrew) – each word implies a ton of thinking accumulated over so many years. I think your use of the terms makes sense in the context you’ve described.

I too am looking forward to finding out more about how all this works. Much of it is hidden from us in this life, but eventually we will find out if it is as you describe:

As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. – Ecc 11:5
