🌟 The Journey of the Soul During Sleep 🌟

A passage from the Zohar (I:130a)

🛏️ When we sleep, something amazing happens:

• Our souls leave our bodies and wander through the spiritual realms.
• But not every soul ascends to behold the splendor of God.

⚖️ The soul’s journey depends on our deeds:

If a person goes to sleep defiled:
• Their soul is seized by impure spirits.
• These spirits attach themselves to the soul, preventing it from ascending.

🌈 If a person is righteous:

• Their soul ascends and travels through the realms.
• It breaks through the impure spirits, who proclaim:
“Give way, give way, for this one is not from our side!”
• The soul continues to ascend among the holy ones and angels, reaching higher levels of purity and connection to Hashem.

✨ Takeaway: The actions we perform during the day shape the path of our soul at night. Fill your day with Torah, kindness, and sanctity to ensure your soul’s journey is one of light and holiness! 🌟

(Raw text from Zohar:)

“When a person sleeps on their bed and souls need to wander the world, departing from the body, not every soul ascends or wanders to behold the glory of the splendor of the Ancient of Days. Rather, as they are continuously drawn and according to their deeds, so their soul ascends. If the person is defiled, they sleep, and their soul departs and all the impure spirits seize it and attach themselves to it, etc. But if the person is righteous, when they sleep and their soul ascends, it travels and breaks through the impure spirits, and they all proclaim and say: ‘Give way, give way, for this one is not from our side.’ The soul ascends among the holy ones, and it ascends among the holy angels.”
