Kochos hanefesh
INNATE CONSTITUENT CHARACTER-ASPECTS WITHIN THE SOUL, IN HASIDISM
Kochos HaNefesh; Garments of the soul; Kochot hanefesh
Kochos/Kochot haNefesh ( from nephesh-"soul"), meaning "Powers of the Soul", are the innate constituent character-aspects within the soul, in Hasidic thought's psychological internalisation of Kabbalah. They derive from the 10 Sephirot Heavenly emanations of Kabbalah, by relating each quality to its parallel internal motivation in man.
