Spiritual Rules of Reincarnation

(1) Everyone Has Maximum of 5 Reincarnations

Every soul can have a maximum of 5 reincarnations as a human being, once one has used up one's 5 human lifetimes the only way to correct ones soul is reincarnating as an animal, fish, tree, or even a leaf on a tree.

Reb Chaim Vital explains from the Torah, Jewish Reincarnation teaches a person has maximum of 5 reincarnations as a human. Each reincarnation as a human is a kindness from GOD to be able to refine and correct ones soul.

ולבנימין נתן שלוש מאות כסף וחמש חליפות שמלות

Genesis 45 verse 22 Joseph gives 5 changes of garments to Benjamin

indicative that a reincarnated soul has 5 incarnations according to Kabbalah

גמטריא גלגול = 72

גמטריא חסד = 72 Kindness

Teaching that it is a Divine kindness to our souls that we are given the opportunity to reincarnate in order to rectify our past-life mistakes, the GIFT of Reincarnation is a Kindness as 72 x 5 = 360, where 360 degrees represents a complete & whole cycle of life; Jewish Reincarnation believes a person's soul has maximum of 5 Reincarnations, each being a kindness from GOD to correct our damaged souls.

Reincarnating into an Animal

Reb Chaim Vital explains that if one has abused the power of speech during ones lifetime then one will reincarnate as an animal, (different types of animals depending on ones other actions in life) or as a leaf on a tree.

לשון הרע Gossip, Slander and Lies are all destructive and deadly, and as humans we need to appreciate the gift of speech. For everyone who uses the power of speech wisely and correctly then the sacred "keys of life" are entrusted with that person's soul, who greater reward can one wish for when using the power of speech, conversely what a pain and punishment for ones soul to reincarnate as an animal or a leaf on a tree.

The reason Reb Chaim Vital gives an example of reincarnating as a leaf on a tree is that since a person abused the power of "ruach-air" which is speech, a leaf is constantly being beaten by the air in wind. Losing the power and energy of speech is considered to be the worst form of reincarnation and it is trapped "living death".

(2) If One Has Caused Someone to Reincarnate

If one has caused another person to reincarnate because of argumentative entanglements, jealousy, hatred or in fact for being the reason causing someone else to reincarnate then one must reincarnate to allow them to correct their soul, and for you to learn to disconnect with them completely through forgiveness.

Such a forced reincarnation will reproduce similar circumstances as in prior lifetimes, with the only way to break the cycle through disentanglement by complete forgiveness and love.

If one has caused someone else to reincarnate then it is a sign that one has made mistakes too, whether one transferred or took energy from them by transference in a prior lifetime causing them to be full of hatred, jealousy, anger, bitterness or having any negative thoughts towards you is a sign that you need to STOP the death and destructive cycle. The easiest way to do this is to follow a purposeful spritiual pathway of Love, Compassion and Forgiveness.

Reb Chaim Vital explains this spiritual rule of reincarnation from the very 1st reincarnated soul (Seth or Sheis who was reincarnated soul of Abel); from the story of Cain and Abel. Everyone will ask what did Abel do so wrong? GOD accepted Abel's offering and instead of being humble, he boasted proudly to Cain, goading him, teasing him until Cain became so angry and hateful that he killed Abel. See "Torah Codes גילגול " for the source in hebrew and english of Cain & Abel in Genesis.

(3) Every Soul will Achieve a Rectification

The spiritual law is predestined and predetermined that every soul will ultimately achieve a rectification of all the "3 keys of reincarnation", whether in this life or in the next reincarnated life, therefore the sooner one corrects the sooner one's soul can elevate beyond an earthbound physical-only stagnant cyclical state of "life and death".

Eventually every soul will see everything clearly and rectified as we are all part of the very same Oneness of GOD, there are no fragments in Eternity, we are all ONE.

The souls of hateful, angry and "death" are souls that want to seperate themselves as "special", the only way they can be different is by being bad. Whereas spiritually enlightened souls don't want to be "special", they modestly and humbly see themselves as a infinitely small spark of GOD.

(4) All Reincarnated Souls Are Given "Help"

All reincarnated souls are given special "Guardian Angels", inner spiritual "sensitivity" and souls from a SoulGroup to help a person as much as possible to correct ones soul. All reincarnated souls have a special advantage in that they are blessed with inner voice and spiritual gifts to ensure success in breaking the cycle of death and reincarnation.

Together with this comes a responsibility to get-it-right, using these gifts to get spiritual perfection and correct ones soul, eliminating all bad energies, and converting every aspect of ones life to be loving, compassionate and forgiving.

(5) All Reincarnated Souls Will be Guided

All reincarnated souls will be and are always guided to be in the right place at the right time to ensure they face the reasons of reincarnation, no one can "run away" from ones souls spiritual responsibilities.

The Book of Jonah in the bible narrates that Jonah attempted to "Run Away" from his destined destiny; events then happend to put him in the right place at the right time.

Until one wakes-up spiritually and corrects successfully ones purpose in reincarnating one will be faced with uncomfortable situations and problems in ones life.

(6) One Will Keep Coming Back Until it's Resolved

Only once a reincarnated soul has completed the tasks and purpose of reincarnation can a person move-on in life; if one is stagnant and "stuck" in a situation or a place it is a sign that one has NOT yet completed ones role in that place and situation. One will keep "coming back" until it's resolved.

The situations in ones life may not be exactly the same with the same people, but until one corrects the facet of ones soul that needs correcting, a cycle of similar events will keep happening until one BREAKS the cycle, that is until one breaks the reason why these events keep repeating themselves in ones life.

Events which are specific to you, and only you, your own intuition and Guardian Angels will tell you what needs to be broken to prevent an ongoing destructive cycles in life.

(7) The 5th Reincarnation Maybe the Most Painful

The 5th Reincarnation maybe the most painful, but it is the most rewarding if one succeeds in breaking the cycle of reincarnation.

Reb Chaim Vital explains that one knows that one has no choice to succeed or to fail; which will mean either life or death, a person will push themselves to succeed. Similarly in the 5th Reincarnation everyone will endure pain and suffering to such an extent to "wake oneself up spiritually" ; then one will push onself to the limit of ones mind and thoughts to succeed in breaking the cycle of reincarnaton and death, becoming loving, compassionate and forgiving for everything and everyone so that one can now detach oneself from this physical world for eternity and become at ONE with GOD in the Eternal Divine Spiritual Realms.

This is the ultimate correction for ones soul to return to the spirit world with the original souls of mankind Adam & Eve אדם וחוה in the Eternal Spiritual Garden of Eden. AMEN.
