Know that the essence of a person, as such, is quite impossible to perceive without his material embodiment …This is because our five senses and our imagination do not offer us anything more than the revelation of the actions of the essence, but not the essence itself.
- Yehuda Ashlag, as quoted in "Preface to the Book of Zohar", in Introduction to the Book of Zohar: Volume Two (2005) edited by Michael Laitman, p. 30
