An essence – it has truth that is not a derivative! Think of the soul (nefesh) – the body lives from it. And what does the soul live from? God put life into it. The soul is a living entity.

We tend to define life in a limited and precarious way. Man does not live at the level of a cat – one doesn't consider that life. Life in the true sense of the word, is the soul recognition of the Godly truth – that's life!

The human being is a 'must be' and he has the ability to own an object. All the objects in the world are there to serve him. He has true ownership (in contrast to a social convention) – society doesn't guarantee ownership – God Himself guarantees the ownership.

There can be transfer of ownership since the ownership is base in his choice.

The attachment of name of the person is at a higher level – it is representative of the soul's attachment to the body.

The body lives because it is given life. The soul lives because it has a Godly spark. It is not given life – it is life. It, itself is beyond life. It is the essence of life, which is beyond 'vitality'.

The life in the body is not composite. We have not way to identify any constituents. Life is a Godly decree. It is not explicable from a worldly perspective. Life is indicative of the Creator's presence.
