Jewish Kabbalah Rabbi Reveals Reincarnation Has Been Kept Secret

What’s Terrifying About Reincarnation? In the Kabbalah we find precious information about our past lives, but it was kept under cover for centuries. Why? Do you remember your past life?

Rabbi Simon Jacobson is a pioneering speaker, educator and mentor to thousands. He is the Dean and Founder of The Meaningful Life Center, coined “The Spiritual Starbucks” by the New York Times, which bridges the secular and the spiritual. He is the author of the best-selling book Toward a Meaningful Life, which has sold over 500,000 copies and been translated into 13 different languages. With his keen insight into the human condition, and over 35 years of experience, he has the unique ability to offer clarity and direction especially in difficult times. Rabbi Jacobson and the MLC have been lauded for creating non-stop programming nourishing people’s hearts and souls.

Thinkers and commentators like Bill Maher, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi YY Jacobson, Dennis Prager, Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, and others have spoken on these issues. Here, Rabbi Jacobson shares the true perspective.

This article features a Kabbalistic Rabbi revealing that reincarnation (gilgul) is a longstanding but deliberately hidden truth within Jewish mystical teachings. It emphasizes that each soul is on a multi-lifetime journey of spiritual refinement, and most people alive today are here to complete or repair unfinished missions from prior lifetimes.

Key Concepts:

1. Reincarnation in Jewish Mysticism:

• The concept of gilgul neshamot (transmigration of souls) is central in Kabbalah.

• Souls are sent into the physical world to fulfill specific missions.

• If the mission is incomplete or corrupted, the soul returns to continue or repair it.

• Reincarnation is not discussed openly because:

  • It demands spiritual responsibility.

  • It’s easily sensationalized or misunderstood.

  • It was traditionally reserved for spiritually mature individuals.

2. The Soul’s Journey:

• We are not physical beings on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a physical journey.

• The soul existed before birth and continues after death — life in a body is just one phase.

• Birth = soul enters the body.
  Death = soul departs, returning to its original realm to reflect and continue evolving.

3. Analogies Used:

• Electricity and Appliance: The soul is like electricity animating an appliance. It predates and outlives the appliance (body).

• Crushing the King’s Jewel: Even if sacred teachings are misused today, they must be shared because souls are “spiritually comatose” and desperately need awakening.

• Half-inch Net: Limited perception leads to false conclusions — much of spiritual truth is invisible to our five senses.

4. Recognizing Reincarnated Connections:

• Déjà vu, soul connections, and “old souls” are often signs of past-life memory.

• Encounters with people or places may stem from unresolved experiences or spiritual obligations from previous lives.

• You may be meeting someone today you’ve known before — to help them, to be helped, or to complete a shared spiritual task.

5. Why We Don’t Remember Our Past Lives:

• Remembering might distract us from our current responsibilities.

• Knowing only what we need to know is a spiritual principle.

• Some souls are shown glimpses of past lives only if it helps fulfill their mission.

6. Purpose of Reincarnation:

• Each soul has a unique mission — to elevate “sparks” of holiness in daily life (people, work, food, experiences).

• Unfulfilled tasks or harm done in past lives must be corrected in future lifetimes.

• Reincarnation is spiritual “immune system” — nothing is wasted or lost; all is recycled for perfection.

Historical & Textual Sources:

• Isaac Luria (Arizal): His texts like Sefer HaGilgulim and Sha’ar HaGilgulim detail the mechanics of reincarnation.

• Zohar (Book of Splendor): Especially in the portion Mishpatim, it cryptically discusses reincarnation.

• These teachings were kept esoteric and only shared with those spiritually prepared.

The Current Generation’s Role:

• We are nearing the final cycles of reincarnation.

• Most major rectifications (tikunim) have been completed; we are tasked with completing the “last fragments.”

• A Messianic era is near; our role is to finalize the Divine plan through awareness and action.

Practical Takeaways:

• Treat every interaction, task, or event as potentially spiritually significant.

• Our daily lives — meals, relationships, work, leisure — are part of a sacred narrative stretching across lifetimes.

• Life should be approached as a symphony, with your soul playing a unique and essential note.

• Stay soul-centric, not body-centric; your body is the tool, not the identity.

Closing Reflections:

• This teaching is intended not to entertain but to deepen accountability, responsibility, and purpose.

• The more seriously and sincerely you engage with your spiritual mission, the more mystical truths will be revealed to you.

• We are writing the final chapter of a long spiritual narrative — don’t miss your part.
