Yes I do believe spirit and soul in each one of us. Only question I can ask myself sometimes, where will we be if we are without spirits and souls?

No...I KNOW that each of us ARE "spirits". Human is not our reality, it is an experience we choose to have...because we can. In truth, we are spirit essences of pure energy...quite unlimited by time & matter as we are here...however, such experiences as this allow us to further "educate" ourselves--sort of like special projects done in school.

Yes. We have a Spirit which you cannot see, clothed in Flesh which you can see.

Man is a spirit enclosed in a temporary dwelling.

Yes. We are all two-part beings. Part human and part spirit.

A person can acquire altruistic properties and exit (liberate from) egoistic ones, enter the world of correction and attain the first spiritual property only when he or she is able to subdue any manifestation of his egoistical qualities.
Naturally, such anti-egoistical forces do not exist in a human being. A new spiritual force appears in a person only under the influence from above; this force assists him in overcoming his natural desires.
Breaking free from the grip of egoism – the Pharaoh – is called liberation from Egypt, exodus from Egypt, while acquisition of the new altruistic properties is called entering the land of Israel.
The spiritual birth resembles a birth of a human being in this world: an embryo inside of a mother’s body enjoys the environment that is most comfortable for its development. Until our spiritual birth, we are under absolute control of the spiritual force that develops us.
However, in relation to a creature per se, one can say that until his birth, a baby exists in his mother's womb, darkness, without realizing where he is, who he is; he cannot move or nurture himself. Everything in him comes from his mother. Such is our state until the spiritual birth.
A newly born baby comes into this world the moment he reaches complete pre-natal maturity. Unless he is born, leaves the place that was so suitable until this moment, he will perish.
Thus, the best place turns into the most dangerous one. If he stays there too long, he will die! This is why a mother herself pushes the fetus out.
A person can sense his egoistic nature and consciously exist under its control - in Egyptian exile - only if he partially senses, as if from “afar”, the “wind of freedom”, the properties of the spiritual world.
Unconscious and subsequently conscious stay in the Egyptian exile is one of the mandatory stages of “pre-natal” period of person’s development and is called Ibur (fetus) in Kabbalah.
Before being born spiritually, one must first feel as a spiritual embryo, perceived as the birth of one’s spiritual desires.
Only after one is born spiritually does he receive the sensation and realization of what it means to exist in the spiritual world: to breathe independently, to receive from the Higher, to plead, to sense the Higher as the begetter and guardian.
Subsequent development resembles the development of a newly-born human being in our world: the Upper force meticulously guides him through the spiritual degrees, and each forthcoming spiritual degree differs from a previous one only in terms of an additional, new, corrected spiritual desire.
Initially, man’s spiritual path consists of acquiring altruistic powers-properties: he grows from Malchut of the world of Assiya to Malchut of the world of Atzilut, passing the degrees of 30 Sefirot.
During this process, one does not use his egoistical desires at all; he only rejects them.
When one, in his properties, reaches Malchut of the world of Atzilut it is said that one fully acquired his altruistic desires –GE.
Later, being part of Malchut of the world of Atzilut, one starts correcting his egoistic desires: rises his AHP to the world of Atzilut, transforming egoistic desires into altruistic ones: receiving pleasure in them for the sake of the Creator. These corrections are performed gradually, in 6000 parts-steps, called years.
