“Celestial metempsychosis” is transferring the soul from physical body to the other-worldly one according to moral attributes and their manifestation in the afterlife. On the basis of some Transcendent Philosophy’s principles like primacy of existence, substantial motion, gradation of being, union between the intellect and the intelligible as well as the bases of his philosophical anthropology, Mulla sadra argued for “celestial metempsychosis”. relying on rational arguments as well as Quranic verses and prophetic traditions, he proved that one’s beliefs and free acts cause transformation of their soul and construction of a new forma individualis in human being so that he will transfer to the other world with the very acquired forma individualis. In Mulla Sadra’s view, this sort of intrinsic transformation is the very theory of bodily resurrection and embodiment of the deeds derived from scripture which is authenticated by wisdom and revelation as well as intuition. In this research, after elucidating the concept of “celestial metempsychosis” and its difference with corporeal one, I will examine the intellectual bases of celestial metempsychosis and embodiment of deeds based on philosophical and interpretive works of Mulla Sadra.
