Kabbalah zu Könige I 2:14

When the Holy One, Blessed be He, looked over the generations of wicked men, he stored the light for the righteous ones. Thus it is written, "And from the wicked their light is withholden," (Job 38:15) and, "light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those upright in hearts" (Ps. 97:11) And so, God said "Let there be light" just as it is written, "Who raised up the righteous man from the east," (Is. 41:1)

And when the days depart from this world, they all approach the Supernal King, as it is written, "And the days drew close for David to die" (I Kings 2:1), "and the days drew close for Jacob to die" (Beresheet 47:29).

209. The world of Briyah is on the highest spiritual level of the created realms and is the closest to G-dliness (i.e. Atzilut). It receives Divine influence directly from Atzilut without any intermediary level. In Briyah the spiritual entities themselves may be either of the aspects of Ruach or Nefesh. Those of Ruach are called Ruchin (spirits) and those of Nefesh are called Nehorin (lights). Since the aspect of Neshamah comes to Briyah directly from Atzilut their Neshamah is considered to be actual G-dliness.
