what unifies them nd gives them continuity overtime perhaps it is the Neshama this breath of God, which lends it self to be formed and molded . By the experience of the individual the neshama is able to take on various character traits and become a distinct and unique self. It is a developing spiritual entity, which is the referring of the singular first person pronoun I and his experience as pure, subjectivity

— 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)
