Blood of Life

More than one third of the life-saving blood donations worldwide are made by people under the age of 25, the United Nations World Health Organization announced June 14 on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day.

The human being is called with the general name Adom which can be broken down into Aleph/1; Dom/Blood–the oneness of the soul is in the blood. Murder is called Shikfit Domim/Spilling Blood–the opposite is giving blood to save lives.

It is taught in the Talmud-Book of Law that the soul is invested in the blood, it is one of the 613 Commandments to the Jewish People to cover the blood of an animal after slaughter as a sign of respect. It is also a commandment not to drink blood.

The body is infused with soul from the brain which has very little blood thus able to receive the fire from the soul translating fire into electrical impulses and chemical reactions sending messages to the heart. Life depends upon the heart passing the soul through the blood to the limbs of the body.

The Cabala considers the heart and the lungs to be one–the blood is in the left side and the air in the right side, together they receive the fire from the soul after being diffused through the brain. Blessed are the youth who willingly give their soul to the sick.
