256. שֶׁאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בְּכָל הָאֲנָשִׁים יֵשׁ נֶפֶשׁ, וְיֵשׁ נֶפֶשׁ עֶלְיוֹנָה מֵהַנֶּפֶשׁ. זָכָה אָדָם בַּנֶּפֶשׁ הַזּוֹ – מְרִיקִים עָלָיו עֲטָרָה אַחַת שֶׁנִּקְרֵאת רוּחַ. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (ישעיה לב) עַד יֵעָרֶה עָלֵינוּ רוּחַ מִמָּרוֹם. אָז מִתְעוֹרֵר אָדָם בְּהִתְעוֹרְרוּת אַחֶרֶת עֶלְיוֹנָה, לְהִסְתַּכֵּל בְּנִימוּסֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ. זָכָה אָדָם בְּאוֹתָהּ הָרוּחַ – מְעַטְּרִים אוֹתוֹ בְּכֶתֶר קָדוֹשׁ עֶלְיוֹן שֶׁכּוֹלֵל הַכֹּל, שֶׁנִּקְרָא נְשָׁמָה, שֶׁנִּקְרֵאת נִשְׁמַת אֱלוֹהַּ.
257. וְלָמַדְנוּ בְּסוֹד הַסּוֹדוֹת, בְּתוֹךְ הַסּוֹדוֹת שֶׁל סִפְרוֹ שֶׁל שְׁלֹמֹה הַמֶּלֶךְ, הַפָּסוּק הַזֶּה שֶׁכָּתוּב (קהלת ד) וְשַׁבֵּחַ אֲנִי אֶת הַמֵּתִים שֶׁכְּבָר מֵתוּ, כֵּיוָן שֶׁכָּתוּב וְשַׁבֵּחַ אֲנִי אֶת הַמֵּתִים, לָמָּה שֶׁכְּבָר מֵתוּ? אֶלָּא שֶׁכְּבָר מֵתוּ בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה בַּעֲבוֹדַת רִבּוֹנָם.
258. וְשָׁם כָּתוּב, שְׁלֹשָׁה מְדוֹרִים עָשָׂה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַצַּדִּיקִים, אֶחָד (שֶׁזָּכוּ אוֹתָם צַדִּיקִים שֶׁלֹּא נֶאֶבְדוּ מֵהָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, וְכָךְ צָרִיךְ) לְנַפְשׁוֹת אוֹתָם הַצַּדִּיקִים שֶׁלֹּא הִסְתַּלְּקוּ מֵהָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וּמְצוּיִים בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה. וּכְשֶׁהָעוֹלָם צָרִיךְ רַחֲמִים, וְאוֹתָם הַחַיִּים יוֹשְׁבִים בְּצַעַר, הֵם מִתְפַּלְלִים עֲלֵיהֶם תְּפִלָּה, וְהוֹלְכִים וּמוֹדִיעִים אֶת הַדָּבָר לְאוֹתָם יְשֵׁנֵי חֶבְרוֹן, וּמִתְעוֹרְרִים וְנִכְנָסִים לְגַן הָעֵדֶן שֶׁל הָאָרֶץ, שֶׁשָּׁם רוּחוֹת הַצַּדִּיקִים מְלֻבָּשׁוֹת בְּעַטְרוֹת אוֹר, וּמִתְיָעֲצִים עִמָּם, וְגוֹזְרִים גְּזֵרָה, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עוֹשֶׂה אֶת רְצוֹנָם וְחָס עַל הָעוֹלָם.

Zohar Acharei Mot
Continued from previous DZ
#256
Rabbi Yosei said: Every person has the level of Nefesh, which refers to the animalistic Nefesh—the basic life force that drives physical needs and desires. But there is also a higher Nefesh, called the spiritual Nefesh. If a person merits to receive this higher Nefesh, they are crowned with a special Light called Ruach. This is what is written: 
“Until a spirit is poured upon us from on high.” Then, a person experiences an elevated awakening, becoming attuned to the ways of the Holy King. If they further merit the level of Ruach, they are crowned with a sacred higher aspect called Neshama, which is referred to as “נִשְׁמַת אֱלוֹהַּ” (the Divine soul).

#257
We have learned in the secrets of secrets, as it is written in the book of King Solomon, the verse that says: 
Ecclesiastes 4:2
“וְשַׁבֵּחַ אֲנִי אֶת הַמֵּתִים שֶׁכְּבָר מֵתוּ מִן הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה חַיִּים עֲדֶנָה.”
“Therefore, I praised the dead who were already dead More than the living who are still alive.”
Since it is written, “And I praise the dead,” why does it further say, “who have already died”? The explanation is that it refers to those who have already died in this world through their service to their Master—meaning, those who have “killed” their worldly desires for the sake of serving Hashem. The Torah is only upheld by those who are willing to “kill” themselves for its sake by dedicating their entire being to the Torah.

Notes:
This section discusses the concept of self-sacrifice in pursuing spiritual growth and studying the Torah. The phrase “the dead who have already died” is interpreted not as a reference to physical death but to those who have metaphorically “died” by detaching themselves from worldly pleasures and fully dedicating themselves to Hashem and the Torah. This idea emphasizes that true spiritual progress and mastery of the Torah require relinquishing attachment to material desires. These worldly desires act as a force of ‘gravity,’ keeping us ‘grounded’ and preventing us from achieving spiritual elevations and higher levels of the soul. One can ascend to greater spiritual heights and connect more deeply with Hashem by overcoming these material pulls.

#258
The book of King Solomon is written: The Holy One, blessed be He, made three chambers for the Tzadikim, corresponding to their Nefesh, Ruach, and Neshamah.
One chamber is for the Nefesh of the righteous who have not departed from this world and are present in this world. Since the Nefesh of the departed does not leave this world, when the world needs mercy, and the living are in distress, these souls pray on their behalf. They go and inform the “יְשֵׁנֵי חֶבְרוֹן” “sleepers of Hebron,” meaning the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). The Patriarchs then awaken and ascend to the earthly Garden of Eden, where the Ruchot (plural for Ruach) of the righteous are clothed in crowns of light. They consult together and decree a decree, and the Holy One, blessed be He, fulfills their desire and shows mercy to the world.

Notes:
The Tzadikim have an ongoing spiritual role after their death. The Zohar explains that Hashem has designated three spiritual realms or chambers corresponding to the three levels of the soul for righteous individuals. A passage from the Zohar describes the ongoing spiritual role of the righteous after their death. It explains that God has designated three spiritual realms or chambers corresponding to the three levels of the soul for the Tzadikim.
There is an interconnection between the souls of the Tzadikim, the Patriarchs, and Hashem. The Tzadikim play an essential role in the spiritual well-being of the world even after their death. Through their prayers and actions, they can influence Hashem’s mercy and bring about positive change for those who are alive. This teaching offers comfort and highlights the enduring impact of righteous deeds and the importance of spiritual advocacy.
