The Five Levels of Consciousness
As physical human beings we operate on various levels of consciousness (awareness). Some of those, depending on our transmigration (incarnation) state are more open to expression than others. For some adult human beings they are only “aware” of the first three levels of consciousness. As our journey with Source (G-d) continues through the incarnation stages in the eternal play humans become more aware of the other realms of consciousness.

While there are several other sublime levels of consciousness as represented by the Sefirot, the basic five central levels are foundational to all human life.

So, what makes us Jews think we’re right when it comes to holy living? The short answer? We don’t think we’re right, we think we’re obligated.
