what happens if we successfully complete our spiritual work in our lifetime? what happens when we die? do you have specific information on what our next experience could be?
vs.
what happens if we don't complete our work?
what is the actual end goal of all the spiritual work? we spend our lives studying it and trying to improve and expand in everyway. do we wake up one day and we've arrived? do we finally reach a point of peace and satisfaction?
Kabbalah teaches we are all born into this world with what is called tikkune, which translates as “correction.” Our tikkune are aspects of ourselves we are meant to repair, or “correct” in this lifetime. What we have done in previous incarnations - such as choices or actions stemming from a place of reactivity and selfishness - influences our current life; from a kabbalistic point of view, reincarnation is the process the soul goes through to correct these behaviors. Each person’s tikkune is unique to them, and could be, for example, in areas surrounding self-esteem, money, anger, or relationships.
The tikkune process is not a punishment; its purpose is to progress our soul and help us reach our highest potential. As such, once we begin to recognize our tikkune, life can start to make more sense, even when we are facing challenges, because we know that those difficulties are there for a reason: to allow us to transform those selfish aspects from previous lifetimes.
The kabbalists teach that while almost every soul in this physical world has come back to make another step in its process of correction, there are a few exceptions. There are rare souls who have completed their tikkune and return here with a specific mission that has nothing to do with them. Rav Shimon bar Yochai was one such soul; he had no karmic reason to be here over 2000 years ago, and came back for the sole purpose of revealing the Zohar, the main text of Kabbalah.
In short, if you are here in this world, there is likely still work to be done. If not for the correction of your own soul, then certainly for the world. You will know when you are fulfilling that work, when you feel more fulfilled and more purposeful. Hopefully this helps! Blessings & Light to you!
Fun fact: Abraham was born in Ur of Chaldees, not Canaan. Where are your commandments from Moses?
