Two Wolves-
One evening an old cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people, He said, My son, The battle is between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil:
It is Anger, Envy, Jealousy, Sorrow, Regret, Greed, Arrogance, Self Pity, Guilt, Resentment, Inferiority,Lies, False Pride, and Ego
The other is Good:
It is Joy, Peace, Love, Hope, Serenity, Humility, Kindness, Empathy, Generosity, Truth and Faith.
The grandson thought for a minute and then asked his grandfather
Which wolf will win?
The Old Cherokee simply replied, The one you Feed"

The Life of the soul Pt 1:
Hashem is Soul and soul is mentioned in the Bible 458 times the scripture states in
Genesis 2.4-7-
Ancient Roots Translinear Bible
In the days that Yahweh Hashem made the land and heavens, these progeny of the heavens and of the land were created. 5. Before the land had any greenery in the field, and before any cereals of the field sprouted, Yahweh Hashem rained nothing over the land, and no human served the earth 6. But a haze (Mist) ascended from the land( Out of the ground a mist watered the earth)and watered all the face of the earth. 7. Yahweh Hashem designed Adam from the dust of the earth, and bellowed(Ruah- Wind) in his nose the breath of life. Adam was a living soul(Nephesh)
Deuteronomy 10.10-22-
10:And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
11: Yahweh said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swear unto their fathers to give unto them.
12: And now, Israel, what doth Yahweh thy Hashem require of thee, but to fear Yahweh thy Hashem, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy Hashem with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
--------
13: To keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14: Behold, the heaven(Celestial 1st) and the heaven(Space- Creos) of heavens(Hashems abode) is Yahweh thy Hashem, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15: Only Yahweh had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
16: Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff necked.
17: For Yahweh your Hashem is El of gods, and Yahweh of Yahweh, a great Elohim, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
18: He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger(Goyim-Gentile) in giving him food and raiment.
19: Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20: Thou shalt fear Yahweh thy Hashem; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
21: He is thy praise, and he is thy Hashem, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22: Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Yahweh thy Hashem hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Leviticus 5. 1-19- 1:
And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of promise, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2: Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3: Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
4: Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5: And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6: And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7: And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8: And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
9: And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
10: And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
11: But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12: Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
13: And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
14: And Yahweh spake unto Moshe, saying,
15: If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of Yahweh; then he shall bring for his trespass unto Yahweh a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
16: And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17: And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of Yahweh; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18: And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
19: It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 30.1-20-
1And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Hashem hath driven thee,
2And shalt return unto Yahweh thy Hashem, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
3That then Yahweh thy Hashem will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Hashem hath scattered thee.
4If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will Yahweh thy Hashem gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5And Yahweh thy Hashem will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6And Yahweh thy Hashem will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Yahweh thy Hashem with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live(Warning)
7And Yahweh thy Hashem will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
8And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
9And Yahweh thy Hashem will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Hashem, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the Torah, and if thou turn unto Yahweh thy Hashem with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
12It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16In that I command thee this day to love Yahweh thy Hashem, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and Yahweh thy Hashem shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely die, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Yordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed(Generation may live:
20That thou mayest love Yahweh thy Hashem, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak and to Ya'akov, to give them.
Deuteronomy 32.1-32-
1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3Because I will publish the name of Yahweh: ascribe ye greatness unto our Hashem.
4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a Yah of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6Do ye thus pay Yahweh, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9For Yahweh portion is his people; Ya'akov is the lot of his inheritance.
10He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12So Yahweh alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods-Idols, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17They sacrificed unto devils, not to Hashem; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19And when Yahweh saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not Hashem; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Yahweh hath not done all this.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had shut them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33Their wine is the fury of snakes, and the cruel venom of rattlesnakes.
34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35To me belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36For Yahweh shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41If I whet my glittering(fast lightning) sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44And Moshe came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45And Moshe made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48And Yahweh spake unto Moshe that selfsame day, saying,
49Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab,(Central Yordan)that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. _____________________________________ NOW THE LESSON--- All of these scriptures indicate something about the soul, I wish to express that message first of all
Soul:
Nephesh= Breath, Wind, Source- Nshamah- Life= Chaim- in Greek= Pneuma -Breath, Air
There are three Hebraic terms to explain the soul 1. Neshamah 2. Nefesh, Nephesh 3. Ruah
***********************************
1. The soul- nephesh is the part of mankind that is the image, life of Hashem(G-d) YHWH. The flesh is not Hashems image- Adam was soul and became flesh. The soul has a body of it's own, He was an existing soul not of todays flesh till after sin- Then he became flesh, Flesh denotes sin- Which he did not have when he was created- When we see sin, we see death-
Ez 36. The soul (not flesh) that sinneth shall die. why not flesh? I'll show you why--
Adam and Chavah((Not Eve))- Eve is the name of a pagan goddess-Thank the romans for putting that in your roman bibles)) Lost there place in Shamayim- Celestial Cosmos because of sin entering there souls, not bodies- sin entering the soul caused the flesh to lose perfection- Kalliyl- wholeness, completeness- Katartisis- equipment,
Teleiotes- Verification, Perfection, Ripen Fruit-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The soul lived with Hashem without sin till Hasatan sinned in his soul- He didn't have a body of flesh he had a soul, placing sin in humanity from Man's Soul to his flesh- Our mind which is our Leb- Hearts hold contention from the flesh- We were once soul without flesh and sin entered the soul causing sin to be placed in humanities flesh, The soul is the breath of the person, The soul is the body of thought- The soul is opposite of the body which is why? flesh dies and no soul ever dies, Ever since creation (Bara)no soul has died- It is either with Hashem or continually being Tormented in Hell, Soul and Spirit are interchangeable- The Hebrew Terms 1. Neshamah 2. Nephesh also spelled Nefesh 3. Ruah conveys first the word Ruah implies- a force which is a Yad- which means a hand- While the same conjectured term Ruaymay means breath.. Hashem said in Genesis 6.3- My breath (Ruhi) will not govern man forever since he is flesh....
Ruah then ends it's association with the mortal man ( Anthropos-being) Greek Jew Philo claimed that 1. Nashamah 2. Nefesh 3. Ruah wore three parts of man- supporting Philo claim- The Jews rejected all of the Greek thinking views, Instead the literature of Talmud proclaims:
The body and soul- should be in harmony just as the kodesh one of blessing sees but can't be seen, So does the soul see but cannot be seen- Just as the Holy one of blessings is pure, so is the soul- pure- Berakhot 10.9
In Midrash Leviticus Rabbah, We read that the soul is a guest in the body and that care of the body is deemed a commandment by the great sage- Hillel- who cited the ideal in the creation story that YHWH made the human in the divine image.
A Rabbeinu Bahya points out that even bodily fluids- menstrual blood, skin eruptions, man fluids, skin cell waste material are all considered impure( Tamei) are only deemed such after they left the human body- before sin the bodies had no sin, no issues in it, For it was a living soul! The glorified body is not flesh- but a living breathing existing soul in no need or the wants of the body- Phil 3.20-21/ 1 Cor 15.30-38.....
In the mind of the sages:
Sin is not the product of an unruly body asserting itself over a pure soul- on the contrary, the body and soul are seen in a partnership of equal responsibility for actions, in this life as well as the next.
The Talmudic Anecdote from tractate sanhedrin- The Emperor Antoninus tries to convince Rabbi Yehudah Hanai that the body and soul can each excuse themselves from sin by claiming that the transgression is the fault of the other, since without its counterpart it is life less. Rabbi Yehudah counters, Hashem judges the actions of the body and soul in partnership after returning the soul to a body at resurrection notably: If sin is done in the body -the body is destroyed and the soul contained and contaminated with sin must be placed in Torment- because he can't be destroyed because Hashem never stated that it could be- He never stated that a soul could be destroyed- Yet- until Yeshua comes back- Which suggest if he has not spoken it, It can't be done- But the soul is the person has full remembrance of the prior body and i it's prior deeds, You will remember in Hell your sins against the father- Here's biblical proof- Luke 16:23 in regard to the 2nd Lazarus
In Sh'ol where he was in Torment, the rich man looked up(from Hell) and saw Avraham far away with Elazar(Lazarus) at his side 23. He called out Aba Avraham take pity on me and send Elazar(From Heaven to Hell) just to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue,because im in agony in this Fire... 25. However Avraham said son(Ben) remember( able to remember as soul) that when you were alive(Body) you got the good things while he got the bad; But now he gets his consolation here, while you are the one agony-Torment 26. Yet that isn't all: between you and us a deep rift(expansion) has been established so that those who would like to pass( escape) has been established so that those who would like to pass ( leave Hell) from here to you cannot, not can anyone cross over from there to us..
The soul predates creation - We can't remember our lives as soul- myriads of years with Yahweh Hashem, For our sin bodies has caused the mirror to be blocked for a time till we come together again with Yeshua in Yerushaliyim, Then the eons will come back to our remembrance for we will have no sin to hinder our vision, nor a need to remember our own past life sins..
The Myriori shall be 1.35 million years or so and shall just be one day in the life of a daily living Nephesh- Soul with Hashem Yeshua..
One Midrash stated:
Sleep, like death, temporarily separates body and soul- Jews express gratitude to Hashem every morning for renewal of body and soul- The prayer stated in the siddur: I offer thanks to you, living and ever lasting King, For having returned to me my soul with compassion and great faithfulness-
The Modehani Prayer..
The Talmudic Rabbis taught:
That the soul not only exist separately from the body, but also exist in a fully conscious state in an ethereal realm, Ketubbot 77b- Berakhot 18b-19a
Maimonides developed a complicated Aristotelian model of the soul, He describes a number of faculties of the soul, all of which are related to the relationship of a person to his or her material environment, perceptions, memories, creativity, and desires, most of these faculties of soul exist only in a living human body- with the death of the body they too die- For Maimonides, the only eternal aspects of the soul are logical and spiritual speculations and learning of a person produced over his or her lifetime...
Maimonides is half right and then wrong, missing some foundational facts about the book of Genesis/ Bresheet- For instance he fails to see the soul as being separate from the body while cohesively working with the body, He doesn't see us as living souls, not living bodies-
The Halakhah( Jewish Law) teaches us that holiness in regard to the body, human life extends to how we treat this body. Mitzvahs cover bodily matters- such as Cleaning, Clothing, Eating, Health care and about mutilations of the body. Tattooing for the dead and idolatry- Lev 19.27-28/ Deut 23.3-
Maimonides deemed it obligatory to provide proper sustenance and respectful clothing for the body- Judaism offers an optimistic view of life- Union of Body and Soul..
The body is a gift- for it's few and little time in this creos existence of life, but the soul is deemed it's eternal place based on whats done in this body- Hashem has caused an angel to be present in the earth to write it down the deeds of your every day, thus only true repentance removes whats labeled on there each and every day of your life- so live well because you will give an account one day on what you did in this body, not in the next body. The body is to be tended and protected only with pure, holy bodies can we bring the commitments and Emets(Truths) of our souls into every good and Kodesh action- For good and not evil- Scripture backs this up by saying in
1 Cor 6.19- or don't you know that your body is a Beit Ha Mikdash =Temple for Ha'Ruach Hokodesh (The Holy Spirit) who lives inside you, whom you received from Hashem, The fact is you don't(own the soul) belong to yourselves(To the body) 20. For you were bought at a price (Death, Burial, Resurrection of Yeshua Ha'Mashiach) So use your bodies to glorify Hashem Yahweh
Rashi explains:
That we are like Yahweh in that we have the ability to understand and discern..
Maimonides elaborates that by using our intellect, we are able to perceive things without the use of our physical senses, an ability that makes us like Hashem, Who perceives without having physical sense...
Hashem doesn't need a body when he created man for himself and can use his. honestly Hashem as well as Yeshua has a transcending euphony surpassing external and internal bondouries of scasms celestrial, terrestrial and telestrial and Platonic invisible ideas and archetypes which produces resulting forms in the physical world. He is translucent and immutable.. Thank you and just think your are a living soul, with a body of flesh, which will one day die off, at that point your soul shall stand forever before the throne room of Hashem, and the judging factor will display what you did in that life, So if you live holy then you will know what he has recorded-
The soul is a divine dress of Godliness and Perfection, It remembers the mind of the body and likewise the body is crafted after the body of the soul, Our souls compound a body for the flesh that looks like the soul but obviously shares some difference in it's traits- Soul has no blood in it, Soul has no sin in it, and souls can even eat- Yeshua came back after the resurrection and ate boiled fish with his talmidim(Disciples)The soul doesn't need food but can eat it if it wants to, The soul is the cosmogony of Hashem, A attachment of Hashem is in the fibers of his creation... You are more than what you ever imagined you could be, you are the mind of Hashem put in his image, which birthed a soul and given a comparable body to live in and actively live for him or die to him, What you do in that body determines your eternal destiny... Live wisely
