🧠Spiritual Soul: Battling Intrusive Thoughts and Instincts

Rabbi Ezagui's book explores the internal struggles between intrusive thoughts and the soul's instincts. It posits that unwanted thoughts are insubstantial unless we give them power, and overcoming them strengthens the soul. The work contrasts the intellectual, Godly soul with the instinctive, animal soul. The animal soul, driven by emotions, often overrides logic, creating internal conflict. The book suggests focusing on positive thoughts and concentration to combat negative influences. Ultimately, spiritual growth involves mastering these internal battles and harnessing the power of both souls.
