The son of man/adam formed, squeezed as a potter, his vessel from adamah/earth’s substance and his essence of life.
Gen 2, 7 And the LORD God formed adam [of] adamah/the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the neshamah/breath of chai/life; and adam/ man became a chai/living nephesh/soul.
The word used for breath Nashamah is derived from the root word nasham to pant as a woman in travil or labour, the birth prangs of the children of God. romans 8, 22.
Whose breath? From the Ruach/Wind, Spirit of YHWH, The Spirit of life, existence itself that gave us of his Spirit, the breath small part that ultimately will return to its source, as a drop of water returns to its origin.
Eccl 5, 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My ruach/spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] basar shagag/flesh to go astray: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
basar is derived from the hebrew root word with the meaning bringing good news in this case in the flesh.

Prov 20, 27 The neshamah of adam [is] the niyr/candle/lamp of YHWH, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
From the good news:
John 1, 1 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (power: or, the right, or, privilege)
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The suffering servant.
Isa 53, 12 …. because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
The word used for poured out as of a vessel to reveal the bottom, is also used in the meaning of to lay bare the foundation as in psalm 137, 7 to expose, uncover, reveal the foundation, rock, essence on which we build.
Psalm 118, 22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
1 Cor 3, 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 12 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 3, 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Peter 2, 4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
But also the stumbling stone and snare to Jacob.
Exodus 19, 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Deut 29, 4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Deut 30, 11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off. 12 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Mat 22, 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
From which Torah flows forth, from the fountain, well [ayin - eye], source of Life.
Luke 11, 34 KJV The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when eye is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
Mat 13, 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
The road that leads our heart to love is our own choice, to seek the way, to the truth and to life.
