A Most Holy Soul

The question is ... "How much potential is there in our souls?"

A soul in Hebrew is neshama.
We live in a world where you are only seen as a success if you acquire or amass tangible things.
The world does not put much stock into the growth of your soul, your neshama.
We must remember, it is okay to make yourself into something great for God.

In Jewish thought our souls are not only created by God, but they are an actual part of God.
Since God is holy, then our souls are holy.
This is why whenever we are criticized we revolt and are offended.
Our souls are so holy that we can even convince ourselves we are doing right when we are not.

I grew up in the twentieth century being raised and taught by a world that was influenced by the nineteenth century.
The nineteenth century was influenced by people like Karl Marx where communism really showed itself in the twentieth century. According to Marx, man is a machine.
Then there was Sigmund Freud who emphasized that every man has a good inclination and a bad inclination.
Finally, there was Charles Darwin who taught evolution, that man is descended from apes.

All of us were influenced by these philosophies ...

 we in turn taught them to our children. 

Now we have a world that virtually has no creative ability. 

Take for example music and movies which at their inception showed amazing creativity that have since become reproductions as many that we experience today are, quite frankly, remakes of prior works ... there is nothing new under the sun.  

We all know that doing the same things over and over getting the same result ...

 is the very definition of insanity.

Since God is a Creator, we have that same creative power within us. 

God created with words and our ability to speak is what sets us apart proving we have a soul. 

God created the universe by speaking it into existence. 

Speaking is not something we can see.

The soul is not something we can see.

Yet when God spoke He created.

And man is created in the image of God.

It is no accident that the neurons making up the brain, when photographed, look just like the universe God created.

Through our very words we can create a better world, not only for ourselves, but for others.

When we have finished with what we were put upon this world to create, our souls return to the creator from which they came. Eventually, all souls will return to God ... to give an account.

Did you use the creativity God gave you or did you just repeat what others created.
