Even among souls there are different levels. There is a soul that comes from a high chamber and there is a soul that comes from a low chamber. A person who wants to check where his soul comes from should see if he grew up in a completely non-religious environment but still feels a strong connection to Torah, to mitzvot, to spirituality and yearns for it. Even as a child when he heard words of Torah or prayer, he desired them. This is a sign of a soul that comes from a higher place because in the material world a person is supposed to be drawn after desires and when the whole environment is like that, it's much easier to just go along with everyone. You're not considered out of line and yet he goes against the current like a living fish that can swim even against the stream. This is a sign of a higher soul that thirst for spirituality. Another sign is a person who is very sensitive to others and very sensitive to the suffering of animals. This too is a sign of a soul that comes from a higher place but guidance from the Torah is necessary. A person who is sensitive to others and to the suffering of animals without Torah guidance can become completely misguided. In the United States a movement that protected animals shot a professor who was conducting experiments on rabbits. They killed him. Why? The suffering of animals. This is a complete distortion. So you kill a person because of the suffering of rabbits? There needs to be balance. A person needs the Torah to guide him on where the boundaries are.
