Thank you. I only knew a couple of meanings or uses of the three words in the Bible. I saved this teaching.

Reminds me of the greek word Pneuma, which can mean Breath, even air, and also has this spiritual aspect to it, meaning Soul or Spirit

interesting

[@famservingyah765]

Kol HaNeshama - is this the same as N'shamah? I just remembered I recognized this word from a song Jeremy Gimpel sings, but would love help knowing exactly what these words mean!

[@LearnTheLingo_Hebrew]

I think that may be Psalm 150:6: let all breath (kol han'shamah) praise the LORD.

[@ericconyers8972]

There is an article attached to N'shamah as a prefix. "Ha" is the article. It usually means " the."

[@jackhydrazine1376]

The levels of soul may be described as five ascending levels of awareness of, and communion with, G‑d. They are called (in ascending order) Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya and Yechida. Nefesh, the lowest level of consciousness, is awareness of the physical body and the physical world, the world of Asiya - the world of Action. Ruach is the next level of soul - a higher plane of consciousness than the rank of Nefesh. The world (i.e. level of revelation of G‑dliness) corresponding to Ruach is the world of Yetzira. Neshama - The primary activity of the Neshama is in the conceptual grasp of the intellect, as the verse states, "and the soul (nishmat) from the Almighty gives them understanding" (Job 32:8). The level of Neshama contemplates the manifestation of Divine energy in the world of Beriya. Just as in the world of Beriya, the primary sefira is bina, so too in the soul - the primary activity is understanding. Neshama analyzes underlying principles abstracted from the categories of thought imposed upon them by the human mind and human experience. It seeks to pierce through to the essential rather than the ephemeral. Chaya - The aspect of the soul called Chaya gazes upon the Divine energy of the world of Atzilut. Whereas the primary activity of the level of Neshama is to use intellectual comprehension in order to come to communion with G‑d as the Creator of the worlds, the level of Chaya communes with G‑d as He transcends the worlds. Yechida corresponds to the level of soul called Adam Kadmon. Just as the sublime, pure and transcendent world of Adam Kadmon, cleaves to and reflects the original Infinite Light (Ohr Ein Sof), so too does the level of yechida.

Can anyone recommend a solid Torah teacher on YT?

[@davidpeightal4918]

@@CuriousCattery no. They all have problems. You can learn things from any of them, but can’t relax and fully trust any of them. If there is a certain topic you are wanting to study, mention it. There will be teachers who handle each topic well. But none who handle all topics well. And this field of study has shown to be a magnet for narcissists. Anyone can start a channel. They find power over people in superior knowledge of the Bible. And there is absolutely NO ACCOUNTABILITY ANYWHERE. Buyer beware.

[@adamodeo9320]

must look at three from the cabalistic point - neshama high soul is connected through Neshima - breath which enters the lungs where Ruch - spirit is to supply oxygen to the nefesh - the lower self -where the liver is.

[@Tzipporah-rr5in]

“Ru’achs”? Lo. Ru’achot. Please say it correctly.

[@free_society_of_upright_in_YaH]

If you are teaching Hebrew words, why in Genesis 2:7 do you use LORD? It is a substitution for YHVH making LORD a lie. Please stick with the truth and only Truth. Same applies with God. The Hebrew word 'Elohiym' means powerful authority not God/Gad which mean troop H1410.

[@SDsc0rch]

...sigh...

[@famservingyah765]

He did a video recently on LORD. Many teach in HR that it's Ba'al, but his video showed there are other meanings, such as master or husband.

[@free_society_of_upright_in_YaH]

@@famservingyah765 Yes, I am fully aware of that. My point is that that terminology is not a name, nor is it the Father's real proper name which is what is found in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is a cover up ... a lie.

[@famservingyah765]

@@free_society_of_upright_in_YaH Gotcha. For me, I don't know that any of us can pronounce Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey correctly, so maybe it's a show of respect not to say the Name incorrectly. I know I find myself saying "The Father" or something like that... especially when you don't know your audience. I find some sacred namers very off putting and far from being salt/ light. Some even say "Yah" is of pagan origin... so... I get where you are coming from, but also respect his using a translation most of society uses as that is what they are familiar with - still with a heart for our Creator. :)
