The fifth stage of man is when the physical body is in charge and its needs must be met.

We discuss the four stages (of five) where the physical body is beholden to the spiritual aspect of man.

The ultimate stage of perfection is where the body and soul are joined and the body is completely nullified to the soul.

We discuss the characteristics of the joining of the physical and spiritual, both in regards to the joining of body and soul, as well as the joining of the aspects of Hashem's revelation and hiding.

In order to understand the different stages the world goes through, we need to understand the body and soul respectively, as well as how they come together.
