S1, E25 Reincarnation of Souls, from Rabbeinu Sa'adiah Gaon to Ramchal

from The Great Sources with Rabbi Shnayor Burton · host Rabbi Shnayor Burton

Rabbeinu Sa'adiah Gaon considered it preposterous.  Mekubalim attributed it to Eliyahu HaNavi.  Abarbanel and others adduced the authority of Pythagoras in its support. Hotly debated for thousands of years, the mystical doctrine of gilgul is given cogent form by Ramchal. The recurring rules of reality are based on divine attributes that appear and reappear throughout history and the lives of men; more than one individual can actualize the same divine rule, and in that sense they truly share the same essence, the very same soul.
