The Meaning of גלות הנשמה Side Tracked

Our spiritual Soul (Neshoma) is a spiritual gift from GOD that differentiates ourselves from animals, if a person abuses or misuses the gift of ones Soul (Neshoma), then the gift is withdrawn from our existence.

The vitality of ones life-energy, ones accomplishments, ones motivational driving life-giving energy is from the element of ones Soul (Neshoma) this provides a person with that specific energy to live a purposeful life.

The Soul (Neshoma) is extremely sensitive and precious, to the extent that when a person makes a wrong move for ones soul then the Soul cannot contain itself within ones physical body, and elevates itself back into spirit world, (this is especially true when one creates sins of the flesh or gossips to ruin someone else's life, ones Neshoma cannot stay in ones body).

Reb Chaim Vital writes that the Soul (Neshoma) hovers over a person waiting for a person to repent and come back to the right pathway.

The Correction for גלות הנשמה being Side Tracked

"תשובה Coming Back"

Unlike other spiritual aspects of correction for ones soul, the correction for being "side-tracked" and losing ones soul is to return תשובה coming back to the exact point where one made the wrong turning.

This is irrespective of time and events that have occurred in ones life; if it is a case of ones soul being exiled out of ones body then time is irrelevant; ones soul is waiting for one to return to the point where one got "side-tracked".

Reincarnated Souls Need to "תשובה Come Back"

Reincarnated souls as explained in the "introduction" are more sensitive souls than other people, this is because they need the inbuilt feelings and emotions to succeed in this reincarnated lifetime to ensure spiritual success for their soul in breaking the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore it is imperative that as soon as one senses and feels that one has "lost ones soul" that one should IMMEDIATELY pray and refocus ones attention to coming back along the correct pathway.
