Reader question:

Hello. All Orthodox materials speak of the free will of a person and that due to the choice between good and evil made by this will, a person receives salvation or eternal torment. But don't the direction and strength of the will depend on just two factors: 1) the innate qualities of the soul, 2) where, by whom and in what environment a person was brought up? The first factor depends on God as the creator of the soul, the second also on God, since it is He who sends the soul to a specific point in space-time. A person cannot choose who to be born or how to educate himself. In order to realize the need for self-correction and self-education in adulthood, a person must already have a set of qualities necessary for this, received from God and not killed by upbringing.

Does it not turn out that those people who could not come to salvation due to innate or acquired weakness of the will to overcome passions, or brought up hatred (or indifference) to God, God created specially for torment - first in this life, and then in eternal life? This is not at all like even the weakest love.

I have been trying to become a church member for a long time, but questions like this do not allow me to believe God and love Him. With the help of the parish priest, he could not understand them. Thanks for the answer.

Priest Evgeny Murzin answers:

Regarding each person in the patristic heritage there is no single opinion. Some Church Fathers (Clement of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Ephraim the Syrian) believed that God is indeed the Creator of every soul, others (Gregory the Theologian, Gregory of Nyssa, Macarius the Great) believed that the soul of a child, although with the participation of the creative power of God, comes from souls. parents, as well as the body from the bodies of the parents. The latter opinion is substantiated by the assertion that in Adam the Lord created all mankind. As it says in the Acts of the Apostles: “From one blood He made the whole human race”(Acts 17:26). That is, God does not create souls directly, but indirectly, in accordance with the first commandment given to Adam and Eve: "be fruitful and multiply"(Gen. 1, 28), creates from the souls of the parents. It follows from this that the soul, although it arises as a result of creation, nevertheless, bears the weight of original sin, which would not have happened if God had created our souls, like the soul of the first person from nothing. In relation to your question, this means that the innate qualities of the soul do not depend on God, but are largely determined by heredity.

As for the second part of the question about the conditions in which a person grows and lives, then similar question wondered even Anthony the Great, who, somehow reflecting on the waysThe Dispensation of God prayed and said: “Lord! Why do some people reach old age and a state of infirmity, others die in childhood and live little? Why are some poor and others rich? Why do tyrants and villains prosper and abound in earthly blessings, while the righteous are oppressed by misfortunes and poverty?” And God answered him in the following way: “Anthony! Pay attention to yourself and do not subject the fate of God to scrutiny, because this is soul-damaging.” Regarding salvation, we can be sure that God, according to the words of the Apostle Paul, “desires that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4). For every person, no matter where he was born and in whatever environment he grew up, the path to salvation and eternal life is open. And everyone, even the most hardened villain, has an idea of ​​what is good and what is bad. The killer knows that killing is wrong. Thief - that it is not good to steal. In each of us speaks the voice of God - our conscience. The main thing is to listen to him and follow him.

When does the soul enter the child? When does he take his first breath after birth? Or when the heart starts beating inside the womb? Or maybe even when the sperm meets the egg and forms one whole? I think this question is of interest to every pregnant woman who carries small miracle. Let's try to find the answer to this question and consider the existing versions of when the soul moves into the child.

1. According to Christianity, the soul is infused at the moment of conception. That is why this religion at any time is considered an unacceptable sin, the murder of not only the body, but also the soul. This opinion is also supported by scientists who recently conducted a study of the moment of the meeting of the sperm and the egg under a microscope and revealed with the help of special electromagnetic equipment that a flash of light occurs at the meeting due to the expansion of energy. Scientists suggest that it is at this moment that the soul comes.

2. According to Islam, the soul of a child comes to him 120 days after conception, that is, in the fourth month of the fetus's life. It was then that the pregnant woman feels the movements of the child, he reacts to her voice, feelings and emotions with retaliatory blows.

3. In Judaism, it is believed that the soul appears on the 40th day after conception.

4. According to many esotericists, the soul appears near a woman even before conception occurs in her womb. The soul chooses its parents long before that, based on what lessons in life it will need to go through and how exactly these parents will help it do it. It is not for nothing that many psychics see the soul of a child in the aura of a woman, after which she soon becomes pregnant. From an esoteric point of view, the very infusion occurs at the moment of the physical conception of a child, but at the same time the soul shrinks in size and is in a dormant state in the embryo. After the sixth month, the soul begins to “wake up”, preparing to be born. No wonder seven-month-old babies, being born ahead of time, survive.

5. There is an opinion that the soul moves into a child at birth, when he takes his first breath. But the source of this opinion is unknown to me.

Since there is no consensus on when the soul moves into a child, no one can know a definite answer. But with all due respect to Islam and Judaism, I, for one, cannot agree with these theories. How can a soul appear in the second or fourth month of a fetus's life, if the baby's heart begins to beat already three weeks after conception, and at the 12th week, lines appear on the baby's hands and fingerprints form. After all, it is known that these lines reflect the fate of a person in this incarnation! How can a baby not have a soul at this stage? Where do the lines of fate come from then?

But what about famous cases hypnosis, when with the help of a person he remembered his intrauterine life? Have you heard that in psychology there is the concept of “abortion child”? This is the name of unwanted children whose mothers, having learned about their pregnancy, wanted to have an abortion, but then at the last moment for some reason changed their minds. Such children are born with a damaged psyche, they often have suicidal tendencies, since even in the womb they felt unwanted and rejected. So the question is, how can this affect the psyche of an adult, if he did not have a soul at that time? But a woman finds out that she is pregnant in the first month after conception!

But what about the cases when a woman finds out that she is pregnant immediately after conception purely intuitively, without yet having any signs of pregnancy? She simply feels a new, previously unknown energy in her energy field.

I don't claim to be true last resort, but I am convinced that the soul of a child really chooses its parents long before they decide to have a baby at all. And the very sharing of the soul occurs directly at the moment of conception. If you do not agree with my opinion, and you know when the soul moves into a child, write about it in the comments, this topic is always open for discussion!

About these two holy prophets - Moses and Elijah - who appeared and talked with Christ during His Transfiguration, I remembered today in order to clarify the point of view Orthodox Church on the Hindu theory of the transmigration of souls, in other words, the theory of reincarnation. There is a need for this, since even in the church environment, and now sometimes even in rural parishes, sadly, there are cases when, in a conversation with a priest, a parishioner who considers himself Orthodox Christian, suddenly discovers that he (or she) believes that a person lives on earth more than once, but, as various Indian religious systems teach, can return again and again to this life.

Such people, whom I can’t even call Orthodox, believe that the soul of a person leaves one body in order to then enter a new one – into the tiny body of the fetus, which is still in the mother’s womb. Thus, a person, as it were, is born again, for some reason forgetting about all previous incarnations. And so many, many times he comes and goes from this earth, supposedly constantly improving and finally reaching Nirvana, i.e. complete merging with the Absolute, or, to be more precise, complete non-existence.

Of course, this false theory, which has penetrated to us from India, in itself gives rise to many questions, for example: how did rational self-conscious personalities (i.e., the souls of people) arise, if the God of the Hindus himself is just a certain life principle, and not rational self-conscious person (i.e., impersonal god)? Who, after all, created and determined the number of souls that already existed from the beginning? Where do the new souls come from that are needed for the new human bodies that emerge as a result of the demographic growth of the earth's population? After all, if you follow the logic of this teaching, its population should be constant: how many souls were freed from bodies as a result of death, so many new bodies (and no more) can receive a soul to become a person. There are many other questions, but the saddest thing is that the pseudo-Christian supporters of the idea of ​​reincarnation with references to the Holy Scriptures are trying to prove the objectivity of this truly diabolical theory with the help of the Bible.

In such cases, they usually refer to the ninth chapter of the Gospel of Mark, which tells how the three apostles, immediately after the miracle of the Transfiguration, which they witnessed, descending with the Teacher from Mount Tabor, ask Christ: (Mk. 9, 11-13) . Explaining this place, the crafty “reincarnations” say: “You see! - it means that Elijah the prophet was incarnated in a new body! It was his soul that moved into the body of John the Baptist, about whom Christ says that "Elijah came, and they did with him as they wanted"! After all, it was John, called the Forerunner, who came before Christ, preached, and then was killed.

The slyness here, dear brothers and sisters, lies, as always, in a deliberately false interpretation of a quotation taken out of the general context of Holy Scripture. But St. The Church teaches that in order to correctly understand this or that difficult or controversial passage, it is necessary to consider all similar passages of Scripture that speak of the same thing. Only then will it become clear what in question. So, what does it say, for example, about John the Baptist and about Elijah the prophet in the Gospel of Luke? Let's open the first chapter: “The angel said to him: do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John; And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; For he will be great before the Lord<...>And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah” (Luke 1:13-17). From the text we read, we will learn that not a man, and not even a prophet, but the Angel of God himself (according to the teachings of the Church, it was the Archangel Gabriel) completely debunks the mythical theory of the transmigration of the soul of the prophet Elijah into a new body.

From the words of the Archangel it becomes quite obvious that the new prophet, who is yet to be born, will have the same spiritual power as the prophet of God Elijah had before, having acquired the same Spirit of God. But in addition to this text, we must take into account the prophecy that was uttered long before the birth of Christ by the prophet Malachi about the future ministry of Elijah the prophet, who by the time of Malachi had long been taken by God from the material world and transferred to the spiritual world. From the prophecy of Malachi, it becomes clear that Elijah the prophet will reappear on earth immediately before the end of the earthly life of mankind, i.e. before the end of this world and the onset of the Last Judgment. This is what the Creator speaks through the mouth of the prophet: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that when I come, I will not strike the earth with a curse” (Mal. 4:5-6).

This prophecy, as already mentioned above, is fully compatible with the Revelation of John the Theologian and is understood in this way by the entire fullness of the Church of God. So we see, firstly, that Elijah the prophet is preserved by God by the day of the Second Coming of Christ in the same, albeit a changed body, and secondly, that for all the centuries that have elapsed by that time, his soul has not moved anywhere, and cannot move anywhere. and thirdly, that he will come in the same body. But after all, Christ clearly speaks of the same thing by His Transfiguration. Well, in whom, tell me the “reincarnated” standing here, did the soul of the prophet of God Elijah instill, if he now, on Tabor, stands next to Christ and talks about the sufferings of the cross, about the pain and suffering on the cross?...

But here is another proof of the falsity of your theory of reincarnation, which you are trying to justify with the help of the Gospel. Next to Christ, the apostles see another prophet of God, Moses, on Mount Tabor. Consequently, in the fifteen centuries that have passed from the day of his death until the birth of Christ, he has not been embodied in any other person!? Otherwise, it would be no longer Moses who stood with Christ, but a completely different person! It is only interesting - what is the number, starting from Moses? After all, his soul for fifteen centuries would have to change many bodily shells, each time not knowing anything about its previous incarnation. However, Moses on Tabor recognized himself as Moses after all! And the apostles knew that it was Moses. How did they know? By the Spirit of God, of course. Thus, the appearance of the prophets of God Elijah and Moses during the Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ clearly shows us that no reincarnations have ever existed and do not exist. This is a completely false theory. But who needs it?

The question seemed to be simple. And everyone knows the answer to it. But, if you look deeper, you immediately remember that for all its simplicity, what comes to mind first is not always enough) And for many it becomes a problem to conceive a child.
Where do babies come from anyway?

Start over.

The fundamental principle of all things is the Soul.

A person has a soul, animals, plants, stones, even rivers and mountains have a soul.

Everything that is created by nature - everything has its Soul.

How did the Soul appear?

The primary source of the Soul is the light energy (the Soul of the Creator), which was divided into many parts for the cognition of all facets of oneself.

At first, several equal Souls emerged from the Soul of the Creator, and they, in turn, also divided. Now every Soul embodied on the Earth is indivisible. Each carries a particle of God and is connected with him and with all Souls by the Spirit. Spirit is a channel of absolute knowledge of the primary source, encrypted in codes that are opened by our Soul as it becomes enlightened.
Incarnating on the planet for the first time, the Soul undergoes attunement and accepts the programs and attitudes of this planet. It is necessary for their harmonious existence.

What's up there?

The life of the Soul between incarnations takes place in the space of the Creator, in the House of the Soul. She is surrounded by Mentors - experienced Souls who help to plan and go through a new earthly life. There are Angels who will then invisibly accompany and support the Soul on its path. You can always contact them. They fill the Soul with light in moments of despair. There are many Souls planning and awaiting incarnation.

And if there are so many Souls, why is there not enough for everyone?

Each Soul itself chooses the experience that it wants to know. Whom, what and where to incarnate. Each of us as a Soul also has its own tasks.

With mentors and Souls that will accompany her in this incarnation, a whole performance is prescribed for the unborn child. With many variations and weaves. From every little thing, from any choice, the scenario can go along a different line, then return to the previous one, or switch to a third one ... Souls distribute all roles among themselves in advance. And this means that your children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren are already watching you, waiting for the embodiment that you have already agreed on! Each Soul has a prescribed date when it will come to Earth.

It depends on many factors, including the speed at which the Parents' Souls go through their lessons and experiences.
It is not by chance that the soul comes to this mother, this father, to this earthly race. Through programs and attitudes of the kind, she realizes her tasks, takes lessons and gains experience.

The soul can descend to Earth and be in the field of a woman a year or more before incarnation. At the same time, there is an attunement and interaction between the Souls of the future mother, father and child. The soul of the child affects the energy field of the mother, her subtle bodies. It can contribute to the activation or deactivation of the programs embedded in the karmic field of a woman.

How can a woman be helped to hasten or make pregnancy possible?

Of course, everything is very individual. There is a possibility that the Soul has planned for itself the experience of childlessness. Or this is how it all works out so that the child is long-awaited. Or a subconscious fear of childbirth or pain or something else lives in a woman, which is not passed and blocks conception. In any case, they are all programs. They can be seen, considered, understood and healed. The method of root cause healing can be very helpful in such matters.

Through the connection with the Soul, with the energy of the Earth, the energy of creativity, a woman harmonizes all the processes of her body and life in general. Harmony is important, both in the spiritual and earthly spheres. Like it or not, the sky gives the child, and the Earth embodies it!

How does conception take place?

When the fields of the woman and the unborn child are attuned and things are moving towards the moment of conception. Changes are taking place in the woman's body and in her subtle bodies. The energy center in the uterus is filled, the emotional field is cleansed, the pregnancy program is activated.

At the moment of conception, the male and female energies are combined in the body of a woman. The stronger the connection between future parents, the better the place for the Soul is prepared, the easier it is for it to enter and gain a foothold. Male and female cells carry information not only about the genes and programs of the genus, but also the projection of the subtle bodies of the mother and child.

The soul of the child enters the body of the mother without subtle bodies to facilitate this entrance. In the womb, the physical, etheric, emotional, mental and karmic bodies are formed. They are formed on the basis of the energies of the male and female principles. First, a fertilized egg is overgrown with an energy shell - the etheric body. Also, at conception, a karmic body appears, it contains information about the tasks in the incarnation, information about parents, gender, etc. It goes through alignment with the karmic programs of the mother at the moment when the Soul passes through the subtle bodies of the mother. The rudiments of the emotional and mental body also appear, which are formed throughout the entire prenatal period.

The mother has the strongest influence on the formation of the subtle bodies of the child, so it is important how a woman feels and feels during pregnancy. All statements, thoughts and attitudes of the mother are extremely important. The connection with the father is also present, but it is less pronounced.

The subtle bodies of a woman during pregnancy also undergo serious changes. The etheric body of the mother is filled and compacted due to the connection with the energy of the Earth. A protection program is activated in the karmic body female body, reducing negative impact on the emotional body and etheric body of the mother, respectively, of the child. In the higher layers of the subtle bodies of the mother, the concentration of light, the energies of the Creator, the Mother of God, and Angels is enhanced.

Throughout pregnancy, the child hears, feels and understands everything that happens to his mother. He knows when he is loved and expected or not wanted. All this starts or does not start programs that activate fears, blocks and even illnesses. He feels all the emotions of his mother: he rejoices with her and sad too. He knows and remembers subconsciously all his life about what happened to him in the womb and during childbirth.

You can feel it for yourself in the Rebirth session, which is held at the Academy.

The very process of childbirth is prescribed in the plan of the Soul in advance. It is completely regulated by the child, this is his karmic program - the birth. He knows when, where and how he will be born. Tested on myself!
The best thing a mother can do for her child is to learn to hear and feel his Soul.

Summing up, I can say that all the programs that are embedded in us and their activation are also planned by us. These are such locks, by opening which we can know ourselves and become closer to the Creator.

The key lies in gratitude and acceptance of everything as an experience, not a punishment or a reward.

Happy meeting!

2 course of the Academy "Man-Creator"

Stages of research and chronicles of conducted sessions of immersion in the space of cognition of the soul

Implementation planning.

Description of the session conducted by course participants
Julia: The Space of the Soul, there are many rooms and in each there are groups of Souls, which are united by one goal. There is a central Soul, the incarnation of which is being prepared, the rest of the Souls help her to go through her experience and at the same time close the lessons of past incarnations that have not been completed. Also in this room is a mentor-curator and several other mentors.

When the plan of the Soul is ready, sometimes there is an agreement between Souls from different rooms. Sometimes mentors of those Souls that have already been embodied can be called.

Time flows differently there. And the difference between the incarnation of the parents and the child is not felt there.
The incarnation of a boy is planned in order to experience the experience of loneliness. For him, there are no options among the Souls for choosing parents. The choice is possible only when it does not matter how he comes into the world.

Natasha: a plan is being developed on how the Soul will go through the experience and what Souls will help it. There are several options for the parents of Souls, before the very incarnation, the soul can choose a pair.
If the past experience that has not been passed has left strong blocks in the soul, then it repeats, attracting situations.
The souls who help to pass the experience also plan for themselves situations that can activate programs that were not passed in past incarnations.
Variations are possible at key points.
The soul chooses parents and gender, if there are consonant programs, then they will be activated, these are additional tasks to be worked out in the incarnation. It is activated only if there is consonance. There are no non-reciprocal lessons.

Nina: After the incarnation, the mentors meet the Soul and discuss the new incarnation with them. If the lesson is not completed, then a life line with key points is displayed on the screen, and it is also discussed who will help. As the Human Soul travels the path, depending on feelings and emotions, the scheme of interaction changes. Souls can come without a contract and mentors can thus correct events.

Implementation process.

Julia: The time of incarnation is prescribed in advance. Information about this is recorded in the mental field of the parents.
When the Soul of a child appears in the mother's field, the path for this Soul is cleared, the programs are cleaned up. This can be up to a year before conception. The soul of a child first watches mom and dad, whether they are ready for incarnation. The incarnation can be transferred if there are significant deviations from the Soul's plan.
When the Soul decides to incarnate, there is an alignment of the fields of mother and child.
For the incarnation of a child, the readiness of the emotional field is needed.
The soul always goes on a high vibration, then it acquires programs as it descends.
TT (subtle bodies) (etheric, emotional) of a child are formed in the womb as they grow, otherwise the Soul will not be able to enter the body of the mother. TT earth structure.

Before conception, a man attunes with the TT of a woman. The energy charge of a man and a woman has a strong influence on the unborn child. They seem to create a vessel into which the Soul of the child will enter. If the interaction and contact between parents is strong, then the Soul easily enters and grounds. If not, then it's harder for her.
from male and female energy TT of the child is formed. This affects the relationship of the child with the parents. The vibrations of their TTs are similar.

Natasha: The soul of the child appears in the mother's field before conception. There is communication and interaction. The soul of the child contributes to the onset of pregnancy. Mother's TTs change. A woman has a desire to give birth, it becomes softer, her interaction with a man changes. Regardless of the conscious desire of the child, if his appearance was planned, he will come.
The incarnation may be hindered by an unworked out program of the mother or father (illness, emotions ...). Fear prevents the coming, because. compacts the field and pinches the body.
The soul of the child is waiting for a certain picture of the mother's TT, so that they fit together like puzzles.
A low-vibration Soul can incarnate near the mother's high-vibration field and vice versa, depending on the planned joint experience.
As it passes through the TT of the mother, the Soul collects part of the programs.
TTs are dressed at the time of birth. In the belly, the Soul of a child experiences feelings, and emotions appear at birth.
A man also feels the Soul of a child in his field. In a man, before the incarnation of a child, karmic programs with a child are activated, they affect the emotional body.
A more intense effect on a woman.
The uterus is the energy center of a woman. Filled with a lot of energy. It affects the man.
The arrival of the Soul of a child is also planned in advance, how it happens.

Nina: The soul of the child performs its tasks. If the Mother's Soul is ready, then interaction takes place at the level of feelings and emotions. Impact on the emotional field, a program from the mental field is connected to jointly solve a problem from past incarnations.
Children, if the mother consciously does not want them, appear at the start of the incarnation program. This is planned in advance.
If a child wants to learn a lesson through his illness, then the child waits until its signs appear in the etheric body.
TT is formed after birth under the influence of society. A part of the mental body comes with it. In the abdomen, he is under the protection of the mother's TT. The creative body of a child comes from the past.
The program planned for three Souls is activated.
The mental field is the trigger mechanism for all processes.
Spirit is activated in the male body.
The masculine energy passes into the child, connecting with the feminine energy. The masculine energy lives in the child if it is fed by the energy of the father, otherwise the feminine energy predominates.

Pregnancy and childbirth.

Julia: the etheric body is filled with the spirit of the earth, condensed and serves as a filter to protect against outside world. Programs are constantly running.

Natasha: strong filling of the etheric body of the mother with the energy of the earth. Helps the formation of the child's etheric body, which in turn contributes to the development of the child's FT. The filter of emotions in the karmic body, which reduces the level of emotions, to protect the etheric body.

Nina: The component of the emotional body is important, because. it strongly affects the emotional body of the child. In TT high bodies, a large concentration of the Creator's energy appears, the presence of the Creator, the Mother of God, Angels. Protection of the mother from external forces.
The mother's body performs a protective program throughout pregnancy. The child's body is potentially healthy. During pregnancy, the flow of energy in the mother's body changes. After giving birth, her health program returns or leaves.
For each child in the karmic field of the mother there is a program. In children with defects, such a program is recorded.

Childbirth.

Julia: childbirth regulates the child, as well as all the circumstances of the birth of the child. Everything happens with the support of angels and the forces of light. All events, including birth trauma, are planned by the Soul of the child.
With strong emotional states mothers, events may turn out differently, not as planned. Then, in order to avoid injuries and other consequences, restructuring of childbirth is possible.

Natasha: All over the Earth there is a program that women give birth like this. Previously, women could feel the Soul of a child, and with such interaction, childbirth was very easy.

From the sessions of the Academy "Man-Creator"

Where does the soul come from before birth - descends from heaven to earth? Where was she before birth, appearance in a person?

Hegumen Ambrose (Ermakov) answers:

The question of the origin of the human soul is not definitively revealed by the Word of God. As St. Cyril of Alexandria says, this is "a mystery known to God alone." The Church does not offer us a strictly defined teaching on this subject. Therefore, one can speak about the origin of souls on the basis of theological opinions and the attitude of the Church towards these opinions. One of the central places in the dogmatic system of Origen was the doctrine of the pre-existence of human souls. Origen inherited this view from the philosophy of Plato. We will not dwell on the content of this teaching, we will only say that it: a) contradicts the teaching of the Holy Scriptures about the consequences of the sin of the forefathers, b) is not able to explain the fact of the incarnation, c) is connected with the doctrine of universal restoration condemned by the Church. In the middle of the VI century, the teachings of Origen were condemned by the Church. There is an opinion that God created every soul out of nothing. (Priest Martyr Irenaeus of Lyon, Saint Ephraim the Syrian, Blessed Theodoret, Saint John Chrysostom, etc.). Some saints talk about the creation of the soul along with the body, others about the creation of the soul on the 40th day after conception. Weak side This opinion is that it does not explain the transfer of Adam's sinful damage to the entire human race, and also how children inherit the qualities of their parents. There is another opinion about the birth of the human soul from the souls of the parents. (Tertullian, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Macarius the Great and others). This theological opinion also does not answer all questions. For example, the soul comes from the soul of the father, mother, or both parents; Nor does it explain cases of striking dissimilarity between children and parents. After the V Ecumenical Council, the opinion about the creation of human souls began to prevail, later the doctrine of the birth of souls became more common. Both of these opinions complement each other.

The laws of the spiritual world are not known to us. We can only assume that a person receives a soul from his parents, but a person becomes a unique and unrepeatable person as a result of a special Divine influence.
