Garments of a Soul??? The Power of thought..

In the next few articles I will explain and enlighten you on HOW and WHY your thoughts hold the key to your life. You will come to appreciate how powerful your thoughts are and how they hold the key to literally EVERYTHING. You will think of your thoughts in an entirely new and respectful manner after you read these articles.

Kabbalah says,”The person is his thoughts”.

The master key to all of your life is determined by the way you think.

So let’s get started with an introduction of sorts.

Inside each one of us - inside our bodies of flesh and blood - we have a soul. A pure spark of G-dliness that animates our bodies.

This soul is pure and provides us with life. Our intellect, emotions and self identity are all from the soul. This soul is preprogrammed by G-d to operate in a certain way, like the body of every person that operates by a predetermined pathology.

There are many things that can affect or manipulate the body either in a positive or negative manner.

Kabbalah explains that the soul inside our bodies, which is this pure spark of G-d with its own preprogrammed pathology, has its own ways in which it can and will be manipulated. This comes in the form of spiritual garments to the soul.

The soul has three garments: thought; speech and action.

Why are they called garments? Because their relationship to the soul is similar to clothing and the person who puts it on. A garment is not the essence of a person. A garment serves the person.

Garments serve the person by revealing and expressing the person. They are a form of communication. People judge us by the clothing we wear. The essence and character of a person are expressed in the clothing he or she decides to wear.

Clothing, also affects and influences the person’s attitude and demeanor. We feel and think very differently when we are wearing expensive and classy clothing as opposed to cheap and “shleppy” clothing.

Through thought, which uses internal letters and words, a person reveals feelings for one’s self. That is why the better a person’s vocabulary, the clearer a person will understand him or herself.

Through speech, a person reveals his or her thoughts to the people around them.

And through action, a person expresses his or her soul and character in this physical world.

Like actual garments, the thoughts a person CHOOSES to place and clothe on their soul, whether they are positive or negative – will affect their feelings and motivations accordingly.

Thinking, speaking and acting positive is not just how you communicate with others, it is also how you manipulate and control your own feelings.
