The mashal for the three levels of Ohr lifnei HaTzimtzum: Kochos. each Koach from the point it becomes a Koach (and not only the Yecholes of the Neshama) has three levels (before it reaches the zulas [shetach hamikabel] in poel). They are 1) Koach Hiyuli Atzmi [in the Nefesh and bli gevul. This level has no connection to the guf at all], 2) Koachos Hiyuliim or:Ne’elamim. This level has a hidden form and limitation [it is the place where the distinct personalities of people are established. whether it is a “Hamshacha Tova” or not]. 3) Kochos Hagiluyim, where a Koach is used in conjunction with a particular situation [it is planned and measured], but it’s only actual once it meets the zulas.
