The נשמה also precedes the גוף and there are three stages in the process: A) עצם הנפש where everything is perfect, infinite and בלתי מציאות, B)In the body, it is limited and inexact, C) between these two there is the middle level which is a המשכה from the נפש that has form (limitation) מעלה בלי חסרון.
