Introduction: Part One.
1) According to Torah ideas come before things, in other words, there is a רוח before the גשם.
the רוחניות is perfect, and all imperfection is on the גשמיות level.
The נשמה also precedes the גוף and there are three stages in the process: 1) עצם הנפש where everything is perfect, infinite and בלתי מציאות,
2) In the body, it is limited and inexact,
3) between these two there is the middle level which is a המשכה from the נפש that has form (limitation) מעלה בלי חסרון.
