Yom Kippur is a day of forgiveness for those who return.
But then, every day is a day of forgiveness for those who return.
Yet Yom Kippur is an entirely different story.
Because on any other day when a soul returns, her misdeeds are discarded.
On Yom Kippur, when a soul returns, she is held in tight embrace.
Within the fire of that embrace, there never were any misdeeds. There is only oneness, peace, and eternal love.
יין מלכות, ספר המדע סימן לג
Surely a soul can no longer be called a "she", a soul must be an "it".
And to embrace a spiritual thing is a bit difficult because either it inplies that the soul has a material form or that the one doing the action is also of the same spiritual nature. I find this subject so hard to conceive in earthly terms that I would rather skip over it. Does a soul like being brought into the light, when it is unable to register vision of our kind? And if so, how can it do it?
