How Can the Soul Possibly Get Any Higher?

Class 4

Previously we explained that although the mayim rabim (worries about making a living) are from a lofty spiritual source, the soul is from an even higher source, ie the Essence of G-d. However, we also said that the purpose of the descent into embodiment was so that the soul can have an even greater ascent. But how can it ascend higher if it is already coming from the highest level?
