Just an addendum. There are four worlds where each one is more holy. The neshamas each come from higher worlds.
The Sefer Habris is a very interesting sefer written by Rabbi Pinchas Eliyohu from Vilna first published in 1797. It has no table of contents because he wants us to read it in order. The ideas build on each other.
It consists of two parts, Ksav Yosher and Divrei Emes. The first part discusses material sciences on fire, water, wind or air and earth. The second part is metaphysical, spiritual. The neshama discussion is in part 2 statement 1 נפשות ישראל, chapter 3.
