Does our soul have a memory?
Question: Memories that we have, are carved into our brain through our experiences on this world. But when a Neshama (The soul) experiences something OUTSIDE of the body, how is it possible for the human brain to remember what happened? The Neshama's (The soul) experiences were never carved into the brain as "memories"? See the entire NDE story on my site http://www.alonanava.com

I got this question a few
times uh in many different ways how can
it be that a person goes through a
near-death experience or an outer body
experience and he has memories of what
he saw so we know that in in this world
when the soul is in our body then our
brain has a way to to hold the memory
but how can it be when the soul doesn't
have a brain
how can it be that the soul remembers
experiences that he it saw when it was
out of a body whether it was an out of
body experience a clinical death a
near-death experience however you want
to call
it so the answer is very simple we know
that our soul originates from the most
highest level in spirituality our soul
is basically a piece of
God and once the soul came down to this
world it had to dive down from the
highest level where it was where it
originates which is right next to God
and it Dives down through thousands and
millions of of of Worlds till it
descends down to this world now only a
very small piece of the soul is in our
body mainly because the soul is so holy
and so spiritual that it cannot dwell in
the body so only a very small piece of
the soul is in the body now to
understand it a little bit more further
we know that the soul has five levels
five parts of
it uh the highest part of the soul is
called which is the essence of the Soul
it's part of hem sitting next to hasem
next to God and it does not descend from
there it doesn't go
down the next level which is a lower
level of the Soul it's
called is is the part of the soul that
surrounds the body how how it it's
called in English Aura this is the part
of the soul that is very holy and it
does not penetrate the body it just
hovers around the
body and then excuse me and then there
is and is the soul nees is the spirit
and R actually I think R is the spirit
and the nees is the the spiritual being
but these are three levels of the soul
the which is the highest of all three
are very small whole piece of it is in
the in the body uh we know that the part
of the Nish is centered in the forehead
even though the Nama is spread in the
entire body but most of it is centered
in the
head and then we have the nefes which we
know the nefes is is in our blood the
nefes the spiritual part is dwelling in
the blood and the is the is the
spiritual is the is the spirit that
enlivens the body
now all these three are connected to the
body and the two above ones are above
the body and they don't descend down to
the body now in order to understand it a
little bit
better when the soul comes down to the
world then it cannot function in this
world because it's a spiritual entity it
cannot be part of the world it cannot
relate with the world so it has to get
dressed into the to the body and it uses
spiritual
garments now the same way that I would
want to pull out a boiling hot dish from
a boiling hot oven and if I would put my
hand in I would I will get my hand burnt
so I put my hand into a glove to protect
my hand and through this glove I can
operate so the same way the soul needs
to interact with the world it cannot
interact with the world it's a spiritual
entity it doesn't know how to speak it
doesn't know how to move things it's
it's not part of this world so the soul
gets dressed into spiritual garments and
those garments are the tools that help
the soul maneuver and and and work in
this world and we know three main
garments and thought speech and deed
these are the main three garments that
the soul gets dressed in and in each one
of them there are thousands of levels
and different types of
garments so when the soul comes down to
the body in order for the body to
interact sorry in order for the soul to
interact with the body it has to get
dressed in those garments and the same
way that you put your hand in a puppet
and you you know you move your thumb so
a piece of the puppet moves you move
your hand like this so another piece of
the puppet moves that's exactly the way
the soul gets dressed into the body into
those spiritual garments and it
interacts with the body here comes a
more deeper level of of of understanding
is that the soul is the more intellect
part of
the of the of the spiritual entity
that's in the
body and the nees and the is the more of
a physical connection to the body we
know that the nees the spiritual being
the spiritual part of the Soul that's in
the body we know that it's in the blood
the same way that the blood runs into in
our veins and there's not one point in
the body with no
blood and the blood keeps circling
around all the time and the blood itself
has a temperature why does it have a
temperature because it constantly
Bubbles and if you would look through a
microscope or if you would ask a
scientist or a doctor you'll see that
the blood is constantly some type of a
vapor that exactly how you will boil
water on the stove and there's
constantly going to be this VAP Vapor
coming up so the blood is constantly
warm and and there's a vapor going up
from the blood in that Vapor that's
where that neish that's part of the soul
is
dwelling and this is the connection
between the physical and the spiritual
this is where the body and the Soul gets
connected in in that Vapor of the blood
and we know that the soul that part of
the soul is in the blood we we we read
it in the in the Tor where it says
that the that part of the soul the ne is
the blood and we know that that Shalom
when a person gets wounded and a certain
amount of blood leaves leaves the body
then the person dies that's that's where
the the capacity of how much the the the
spirit that neph has to be in the body
and there's a there's a famous story in
the midash that when K killed he
then he didn't know how to kill him so
he stabbed him all over the body because
he didn't know from which part the neish
will come out this is a midash that's
talking about that that K stabbed
heav I don't know how you say k in
English Cain the sons of the sons of
Adam and Eve so K Cain I think you say
in English he stabbed his brother Heil
over the body because he didn't know
where the spirit comes out from
so going back to the question the way
the soul interacts with the uses the
body to interact with the world is only
through those spiritual garments kind of
like a if you ever saw like a big
bulldozzer like a big tractor that there
a driver sitting in in in the booth and
he has a lot of sticks excuse me has a
lot of sticks and he Maneuvers the
entire
machine sorry he Maneuvers the entire
machine he pulls this stick and the arm
goes up he pulls that stick and the
Machine goes to the left and he kind of
Maneuvers the entire machine the the
bulldozzer and he's able to move the arm
and and and shovel and and and move
things so exactly the same way the soul
gets dressed in the body and it needs
tools to to maneuver the body to move
the body to think to speak to act to
move the hands to move the entire entire
body so the soul uses those garments and
because of these garments that's how the
soul has the ability to remember things
because the first garment is Mak is
thought the second garment is speech and
the third garment is is
did so when the soul uses the Garment of
thought anything that happens to the
soul in the body is registered and and
preserved in that garment so when the
soul leaves the
body it there's there's more to it
because when the soul leaves the body it
starts ascending all the way up and that
takes a while because we know that the
first year that a person passes away the
nefes is still attached to the body the
body has to completely decomposed in
order for the neish to go up and we know
that the soul has to go through up and
higher and higher before it's entered
back where it originated
from so during that time when it ascends
then the Soul still uses those garments
it still has recollection to those with
those garments but once the soul ascends
to to its Essence and it doesn't use
those garments anymore here it goes a
little bit more into depth how the soul
what happens to the
garments how the soul uses the garments
because the garments are part of the
soul and the mitv mitzvas and the Torah
learning that is done in this world are
becoming attached and part of those
those garments here is already more a
whole concept regard regarding those
spiritual garments but to go back to the
to the to the question itself the soul
has the ability to remember what it
experiences when it's out of the body
because it uses those spiritual
garments till it ascend all the way up
to its source so when a person has a
near-death experience or an outer body
experience or any type of experience the
soul leaves the body it's still very
much connected to those spiritual
garments and it's able to interact and
and use those garments to that low level
where the soul is because when the soul
leaves the body it's it's even though
it's in a spiritual realm it's still in
a very low level has to ascend and
Ascend and Ascend and go higher and
higher there's endless amount worlds and
the more it ascends then it kind of
removes from it the the more physical
part or the the the physical remaining
that's that's stuck to the soul but
there's a whole there's a whole process
when the soul leaves the body it takes a
long time to ascend and go to a higher
level and a higher level and a higher
level and a higher level and the higher
it goes it starts removing and getting
undressed from those garments but in the
lower level
when the soul leaves the body it still
used that those garments it still has
those garments and those garments has
the gives the soul the
ability to remember the experience so
when the soul comes back to the body
when the
person wakes up then the Soul is Again
part in the body and the soul is dressed
in those garments especially in the
Garment of M of thought and it's able to
remember what it was what what it was
exposed to what it saw what it felt and
it stays as a memory in the body but
that's basically how people who have
near-death experiences out body
experiences they're able to remember and
have visions of what what what they saw
this whole topic has is is very there's
much more to it there's a lot of depth
into the to the the spiritual structure
of the soul and and the whole all the
levels of the Soul so there's much more
to know about that but just to touch
that question how does a person has a
memory of what he saw is mainly
by having connection to these spiritual
garments
