The Nama has no physical anger, it is spiritual…

The Nama has no physical anger, it is spiritual and abstract. It is not directly involved with the human body, it is involved with sanctity and with human relationship relationships with God. It connects with the human self through the Neshama. In a certain sense, the two components of the soul, the Nash and the Nishma, are one, or at least they’re located on the same continuum.

— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)

In the book

You arrived here given a body in which to carry your spiritual essence; the real you is stored deeper than any gauge can reach. What we call the neshama, the soul, is a very breath of God, lent to you to be shaped over a lifetime; it has its own levels and its own sanctity, and it is the part of you that does not wear out. Its faculties are braided together — the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual as one — and Maimonides taught the humbling order of it: you cannot perfect the soul while neglecting the body that houses it, for the one is the ladder to the other. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
