Each human being has a divine soul, a part of God, a spark of light . . . a deep longing for Oneness buried within us. That innermost self, the place where each of our individual selves discovers its root in the single Self of the universe, needs to be cultivated, drawn forth from its natural hiding place. The "part" of us that longs for God is an aspect of our most intimate and private person.
— Arthur Green, Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow
