Ray of light

From “Alan Afterman” - Kabbalah and Consciousness.

The ray of light of Infinity evolves into ordinary reality through five “Worlds” which express five levels of its progressive “enclothement”; that is, through five basic levels of consciousness. “Higher” and “lower” Worlds refer to the degree the light of Infinity is concealed; a higher World is not in any way “closer” spatially to G-d than a lower World. Rather, each of the five levels of consciousness is enclothed with the “garment” of the other; each World is the soul or inner-consciousness of the succeeding one. All five Worlds exist one within the other within the other in each moment of consciousness. The principle of inter-inclusion (hitcalelut) is considered fundamental to all truth.

The five Worlds are levels of consciousness; an infinite number of screenings of the immanent light would not result in physical matter which involves the creative power of transcendent Light. At the lowest levels of consciousness are fantasies, dreams and nightmares. Nevertheless, important qualitative differences or jumps exist between the Worlds themselves. This is especially the case between the two higher as compared to the three lower Worlds; and, as well, between all the Worlds of consciousness and the physical realm. The World of Assiyah (literally “making” or action, “doing”) is the dimension of ordinary consciousness. The physical world also takes place at this level.

The following simplified example, using five developmental stages involved in building a “house” (the Creation), may illustrate the distinction between the worlds:

(1) Adam Kadmon (Primordial Man): the will to build the house;
(2) Atzilut (Emanation): the wisdom as to how build a house;
(3) Briah (Creation): the general concept of the house, its architectural design;
(4) Yetzirah (Formation): the building instructions and detailed construction plan;
(5) Assiyah (Action Making): the final building of the house, the actualisation of the original will and purpose.

Souls

Souls	Type	Description
Yechida	divine soul	an indivisible essence inseparably bound to G‑d; “a spark of the Creator enclothed within a spark of the created”
Chaya
Neshamah
Ruach		emotions; Divine service - arousing the complementary emotions of love and awe of G‑d.Love and awe of G‑d are aroused by contemplating the divine energy which forms and maintains the world. “the toil of the heart”, through which one comes to love G‑d with all one’s heart.
Nefesh		the life-force of the body. The divine service is acknowledgment of, and submission to, the supreme authority of G‑d. It is therefore called “accepting the yoke of Heaven” — kabbalat ol malchut shamayim.

Science

Physical domains

Quantum, atomic, molecular, organism

When the quantum merge, they form the atomic.
When the atoms bond, they form the molecules.
When molecules interact, they form organisms
When the organisms interact, they in-form.

One could think of this as a ladder.

All organisms have a physical presence.
All organisms react to their environment. That is termed emotional.
All organisms have a pattern of development. This is termed mental
Only the self-aware and self-expressive organism can be aware of the totality of the experience it are having. This is termed spiritual.

All other organisms would not be able to, nor would have any need to separate themselves in order to be able to recognise a spiritual event. There is no separation for them from the event itself. They are fully in it.
