Do you know that your soul simply descended into your thoughts – you see, before there was such a thing as thinking there was only God – God didn’t have thoughts – he had a desire, call it an "imagination" of you and in complete love, sacrificed everything – (this is a very deep Kabbalistic doctrine of tzmitzum, Divine concealment) in order to give to you, like any parent does, opportunity – so your soul (actually part of him) descended into a brain, and this brain is in a universe – it experiences multiple inputs (five senses, parental role-modeling, peers, country, other ideologies, and personal observation)
