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.
Body Consciousness -
תודעת גוף
Self Consciousness (Ego) -
אֶגוֹ
World - Outer (Other) Consciousness (Nefesh) -
נֶפֶשׁ
Higher Realms Consciousness (Neshama) -
נשמה
G-d or HaMakor (Source) Consciousness (Spirit-Ruach) -
רוּחַ
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.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I wanted to thank all those who have donated to this site, our YouTube & Rumble Channels for your generous support for Shmu's Views on Locals all this time. Your help has been so appreciated. As you may have noticed I no longer post videos and lessons as much as I used to. I have curtailed much of our channels on Locals, YouTube and Rumble for age-related reasons.
As a result, I cannot in good conscience continue to ask for your monthly financial contributions to the site.
Thank you so very much for all you have provided to ensure quality teachings on Judaism and politics.
I would ask that you find another worthy charity or a rabbi who teaches Torah and truth. I know they too would appreciate your support.
Again thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Shmuel ben Shlomi
