Topic: Ruach


  
  The Hebrew Name for God - The Spirit of God (Ruach Elohim)
In a living creature (nephesh chayah), the ruach is the breath, whether of animals (Gen 7:15; Psa 104:25, 29) or mankind (Isa 42:5; Ezek 37:5).
The ruach imparts the divine image to man, and constitutes the animating dynamic which results in man's nephesh as the subject of personal life.
Ruach may be understood as the Author of the animating dynamic of the created order, the underlying Principle of creation, and the One that imparts the nephesh to the entire universe.

 The Soul - Part Four - To Catch a Thief
When the Neshama detaches from the Ruach it returns to Kneset Yisroel, its roots, the source of the Neshama in Azilut, where it is once again a portion of the Divinity itself.
But while the Ruach is unable to detach, certain sins have the effect of causing it to contract and shrink, reducing its effectiveness as a passageway that connects the Nefesh with the Neshama.
The Ruach becomes a conduit for the transmission of the forbidden communication to the seat of action, the Nefesh.

 Ruach, the breath of God experienced daily as cool breeze/wind by SYs
The Old testament word for spirit is 'ruach', (pronounced roo'-akh) meaning wind, breath, inspiration, and the OT Hebrew noun is always feminine.
The wind or ruach was observed not as a being, but as a vitalizing force.
Among the Hebrews the ruach or wind of God was said to have brooded over the chaos in the story of creation in order to bring forth life.

"The second fundamental meaning of ruach is "breath", but not as something lasting, but rather as the power expressed in expending a breath of air...not normal breathing, but the special process of breath, in which the dynamic vitality of humans finds expression."

 The Ruach ha Qodesh (Holy Spirit) and The Word of Elohim (God).  Teachings from The Letters of Faith.
The Ruach ha Qodesh is our instructor and guide in the comprehension of these things though, and if we faithfully submit and earnestly desire to grow "unto Him", He will insure that we will attain the unity, power and authority that Yahshuah prayed would be ours.
Upon a confession of faith in Yahshuah as personal Messiah and Master, or at the time of ones immersion baptism, or upon a laying on of hands by disciples already filled with the Ruach, a promise made by Yahshuah is fulfilled, and the Ruach ha Qodesh is given to the newly born child of Elohim.
The Ruach ha Qodesh will reveal the will of our Father to us in such a way that confirmation is obtainable (primarily through the Word of Elohim), and this confirmation is essential to the law of testimony and witness (Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 18:16).

True, the halakhah of his Judaism switched from the Pharisaic oral law to the Ruach Hakodesh, but his religion was still one of the Judaisms of the time, not a new non-Judaism Gentile religion.

 A Slightly New Gilgul 3:8
A secret of gilgul is that when the need is great, a slightly new gilgul can achieve Nefesh, Ruach and Neshama at one time in a single incarnation, without the need for multiple reincarnations since the three of them will achieve tikun in one body.
Once the Ruach is also rectified like the Nefesh, there is no hindrance to its becoming ensconced within the Nefesh, and the Nefesh becomes its vehicle.
Likewise, after the Ruach becomes completely purified, then both the Nefesh and the Ruach can leave the body at night during sleep and be "deposited" Above, where they will remain (for the time being).

 Personality of the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit)
The latter is understandable if the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, is a power, but the language is inappropriate if, in fact, the Ruach HaKodesh is a mighty, omnipotent, and omniscient personage within the Godhead.
Although it is stated that the Ruach HaKodesh (i.e., the “Comforter”) would make his abode in the disciples, (John 14:16, 17), this does not necessarily imply the personality of the Ruach HaKodesh, since both the Father and the Son (in the same context) were also to make their abode in the disciples.
The personality of the Ruach HaKodesh is sometimes inferred from Luke 12:10 – “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.” But, this passage proves too much.
