"The Son of David will not come until all the souls in the Body
are completed."
"(When these are completed) new ones will be worthy of emerging."
"The Son of David (the Messiah) will then come. He will be able to
be born, since his soul will emerge amond the other new souls.”
Bahir, 184. Mishna
The above quotes are the result of
decades of research, since I was interested in the Messiah's identity for a
long time. I have read many secular and sacred books on this subject, but
somehow it did not go into my mind how Messiah could be a soul that was already
in a flesh. This is contradictory to me, since in our material reality the
existing soul is labeled with nature (attribute), the soul becomes so-called
scratched during its material appearance.
Many people think that the
Messiah is the rebirth or resurrection of one of the souls that has existed in
the past, or that which now exists, although the above quotations prove that
this is not the case. For if the Messiah were to be reborn of any soul, for the
reasons explained above, idolatry would occur. In simple words, to put it
bluntly: it would not be Messiah, but Aunt Szabó, Uncle Kovács, who is by the
way Messiah ... Paradox of his own.
The quotations support my view
that the Messiah can only be a new, pure spirit, an elusive, inexplicably
powerful spirit. It is such a pure soul that is contiguous with Nothing and that
influences its environment with a power of novelty, as only a new soul can do.
The new soul does not mean ignorance, for the new soul is closest to the
Creator. Among the already occured souls there are only a few new souls, the
already existing have been given new bodies for healing. Namely,with the appearance of the soul in the material
world, the soul makes mistakes and thus moves away from the Creator, yet it is
clinging on Him. When the soul receives a new body, it is given a new chance to
perfect itself. And if it fulfills its purpose, it will merge with the Universe
(I did not intentionally write Creator, Eternal, or G-d, because it would give
birth to a paradox, but it can also be said eg. with Eternity). Embodiment of
new souls is to maintain balance. As many "old" souls unite with the
Universe, so many new souls enter our earthly existence. They are all destined
to perfect the world, therefore is the need for multi-changing souls and new souls.
Returning to the original theme:
if mankind sincerely attempts to grasp and comprehend the soul and purpose of
the Messiah, he could unleash such spiritual forces in our little earthly
existence that this new soul would soon appear with the help of G-d.
