Journey of the spirit, Lesson 3, Injection of the soul in the Body

Two souls: Animal and the power of intellect Every animal has a soul, but the unlimited intellectual ability in the human is caused by another soul which is injected by Allah (swt) in the body, without that soul the human will be like an animal or a crazy or insane person. And this soul is the one created in the metaphysical system, or by the system of command (AMR), as in the following verse:

الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنسَانِ مِن طِينٍ 32.7] Who made good everything that He has created, and He began the creation of man from dust. ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن مَّاء مَّهِين [32.8] Then He made his progeny of an extract, of water held in light estimation. ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ [32.9] Then He made him complete and breathed into him of His spirit, and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts; little is it that you give thanks.

When is the intellectual soul injected? According to some scholars in the funeral law is that is a fetus is four months and above then it is treated like a human, the same is in the laws of blood money if fetus was killed after four month. If the soul is injected or breathed or blown into, does not mean it is created at that time, so it was created, perhaps it was in the sperm, and when the breath was given, it was awaken or activated.

A different creation 23:12 NOW, INDEED, We create man out of the essence of clay, وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ 23:13 and then We cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in [the wombs] firm keeping, ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ 23:14 and then We create out of the drop of sperm a germ-cell, and then We create out of the germ-cell an embryonic lump, and then We create within the embryonic lump bones, and then We clothe the bones with flesh - and then We bring [all] this into being as a new creation: hallowed, therefore, is God, the best of artisans! ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

This world is the test field for human God is all Just, he can never test us unless we have had excepted to be tested before this world, we took the trust and now we are tested of how we are going to handle the trust. 67:1 HALLOWED be He in whose hand all dominion rests, since He has the power to will anything: تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 67:2 He who has created death as well as life, so that He might put you to a test [and thus show] which of you is best in conduct, and [make you realize that] He alone is almighty, truly forgiving. الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

We said we believe now we are tested in this world 29:1 Alif. Lam. Mim. الم 29:2 DO MEN THINK that on their [mere] saying, “We have attained to faith”, they will be left to themselves, and will not be put to a test? أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ 29:3 Yea, indeed, We did test those who lived before them; and so, [too, shall be tested the people now living: and] most certainly will God mark out those who prove themselves true, and most certainly will He mark out those who are lying. وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ

We are not going to die As we will study in the verses in our next lesson, that the life of our soul is going to continue after the death of the body, our essence our awareness our memory our intellect will depart the body, and leave it empty, as same as the body of the computer when the memory or the mother board or the brain of the computer is taken out and inserted into another body. The soul leaves the material body and enters another ghostly body, a body lighter and faster from the body of this world, that is the body of BARZAKH. So the life continues and the reward or punishment is given immediately to that new body. We do not die, only our body dies.

The question is? If a deal is offered by a person, and in that deal the worker must work day and night, he will not be given more than his basic requirement such as food, cloth and shelter, and after 5 years he will be given what ever he wants, a nice luxurious retired life, so if he is a sane person, he will indeed except this deal, it is an excellent deal, people now a days work hard day and night so that they can have a nice retirement later. It is the deal of God, just to work and worship him in this world about the average of 70 years, and than more than 70 zillions years……….eternal endless life of entertainment, if a person believes in God and the eternal promised life in the hereafter then he should not mess up in his life.

Look out of the box of material When a person looks at the hard working ant which does not live more than one year, he thinks that if he new that he is going to live only one year he will not work that hard, how about us the angels they are saying the same about us, so if we look at our self from out of our material box, we will work more for the here after and never waste our time in committing sins. Imam Ali (AS): work for this world as you are going to live in it for ever, and work for hereafter as you are going to die tomorrow. (BALANCE)

The real freedom for the believer We used to live in an a metaphysical realm without any physicals limits (perhaps there were restrictions and limits to our lives), and when we were kept in the posture of Adam, we were limited in a very narrow system, and after that to a wider system in a womb, and then in a wider system our world, and after we die we will enter a more wider system BARZAKH, where we will have more flexible body, which can tolerate more entertainment and more punishment. Finally we will enter an eternal system, the hereafter, more flexible and more wider. But the disobedient will enter a more narrow system.
