Within human beings, three inner forces exist, and are often at odds with each other, the body, the ego, and the soul. The body wants to do what feels good. The ego wants to do what looks good and the Soul wants to do what is good. The Soul’s influence is called the yatze hatov, our good inclination or conscience. Kaballah classifies four levels of the soul, Nefesh, rusch, and Neshama and neshama l’neshama.
