Ze Yitnu 5738(Ma’amar of Parshas Shekalim). 1) Two half Shekels, you give a half and get whole (and there are many versions of this. In this Ma’amar, they are): the half of the Neshama in the body brings to us the half that is above the body. 2) Everybody is the same (they give “only” a half Shekel) but still there is rich and poor; in as much as the power of Mesiras Nefesh comes into the mind, heart and senses of the person. 3) We begin by giving “Ze”- the lowest level of the Neshama and the reward is “Ze”- which is an allusion to Atzmus (even higher than the higher half of Shekel).
