	The Soul and its Salvation according to Lurianic Kabbalah
		Other souls remained in Adam even after his statue was reduced from cosmic to mundane dimensions; these were holy souls that did not fall into the clutches of the klippot, including the souls of Cain and Abel.
		But the majority of souls that were in Adam feel and were subjigated by the klippot; they must achieve their tikkun through the cycle of transmigration.
		Mahayana however stresses that the option is open for anyone on the spiritual path to become a bodhisattva, eventually, if he or she works at it.

		Since I suffer from psychiatric problems, but have tried all my life to be a good daughter, a good wife and a good mother, I've started thinking maybe that what I suffer from is due to a sinner soul residing within me. At least it seems to me an optional explanation for the injustice.

		The transmigration of a man's soul into the body of a woman is considered by some cabalists to be a punishment for the commission of heinous sins, as when a man refuses to give alms or to communicate his wisdom to others.
		The theory of impregnation gave birth to the superstitious belief in "dibbuḳ" or "gilgul," which prevailed, and still prevails, among the Oriental Jews and those of eastern Europe.
		This belief assumes that there are souls which are condemned to wander for a time in this world, where they are tormented by evil spirits which watch and accompany them everywhere.

		As far as I know, no-one suggests that each of the six million died because of their individual sins, as this would be clearly offensive.
		The gilgul neshamot idea waters this down a little by saying that the six million came to the world with a minus in their heshbon; but the message that they were not good enough people in their current life remains, and for the loved ones of those individuals this is obviously insulting.
		The outrage his comments caused, though, was not really anything to do with this, neither was it (as you suggest) because he trespassed on secular understanding of the holocaust.
