Gilgul, Gilgulim and Reincarnation
 Revolving Souls
Revolving Bodies
Reincarnating Souls
By Robert Zucker
The concept of reincarnation in Hebrew is called gilgul, gilgul neshamot or gilgulei ha neshamot.
In Hebrew, the word gilgul means "cycle."
Neshamot is the plural for "souls."
Souls "cycle" through "lives" or "incarnations." These souls attach themselves to different bodies - human and nonhuman- over time.
The most basic component of the soul is called the nefesh. The nefesh is always part of the gilgul process. It must leave the [hysical body at the stage of death.
Then, that soul without a body moves into another body where life has begun. This is the cycling of souls.
There are four other soul components and
different nations of the world possess different forms of souls with
different purposes.
The essential Kabbalistic text that
discusses the idea of "gilgul" is called Sha'ar Ha'Gilgulim ("The Gate
of Reincarnations"), based on the work of Rabbi Isaac Luria (and
compiled by his disciple, Rabbi Chaim Vital). It describes the deep,
complex laws of reincarnation. One concept that arises from Sha'ar
Ha'gilgulim is the idea that "gilgul" is paralleled physically by
pregnancy.
A golem is a body without a soul.

My Choice Gilgulim
& Reincarnation Books
by Brian L. Weiss (Author)
Amazon.com: Psychiatry and
metaphysics blend together in this fascinating book based on a true case
history. Dr. Weiss, who was once firmly entrenched in a clinical
approach to psychiatry, finds himself reluctantly drawn into past-life
therapy when a hypnotized client suddenly reveals details of her
previous lives. During one hypnosis session his client introduces the
spirit guides who have been her soul therapists in between lives. This
is when the story really takes off for Weiss, who discovers that these
guides have specific messages about his dead son as well as Weiss's
mission in life. No, we cannot verify the truth of this story using the
limited scientific tools we have available. However, it is hard to
dispute that this well-respected graduate of Columbia University and
Yale Medical School has discovered a personal truth that has led him to
be an enormously popular speaker, author, and leader in the field of
past-life therapy. --Gail Hudson

by Michael Newton (Author)
Journey of Souls is a
controversial yet inspiring investigation of the big question we all
face at one point or another: "What happens after we die?" To find the
answer, Newton opens cases from his private practice in which he
hypnotically regressed his clients to a point between lives--after
death, but before birth. Not only does Newton grapple with
reincarnation, the spirit world, and the nature of the human soul, he
also tackles equally sticky questions such as "Is there a Heaven and
Hell?" and "What are ghosts?" Readers with a penchant for skepticism
will balk at the lack of physical evidence to back up the claims in
Journey of Souls, but the book remains a reassuring voice, affirming
that our existence is not limited to the boundaries of our mortal flesh.
