The soul is often regarded as being alienated in the body and is viewed as yearning to escape to its source. There are times whereby the soul has a temporary release, and this is seen during flashes of religious rapture, when the soul can relish in the brilliance of the Shekhinah. The other way of experiencing a temporary release from the shackles of the body is to meditate on one's own soul.
The Zohar explains: "So we see that there is [in the parts of the soul] a throne for a throne, and a throne for the most supreme above them, and when you examine the levels you will find the mystery of wisdom in this matter, and everything is wisdom, so you might perceive in this way matters that are sealed
Since the man [woman] who intends to penetrate the royal palace needs first to know his [her] own soul [which] is modelled on its Creator who created it
Therefore, when man [woman] knows the eminence and nature of the soul, his [her] thoughts and understanding will spread from there to the secrets of royal matters.
