Accordingly even in the first three Sefirot, those aspects that relate to the seven lower Sefirot became flawed. These aspects are their “back parts” (אחוריים, achorayim), which are those that relate to the seven lower Sefirot. (These are their Netzach-Hod-Yesod, which pass the influence of the higher level to the lower.) This also applies to the “back parts” of Netzach-Hod-Yesod of Keter, which channel Kindnesses and Severities to Abba and Imma, as explained elsewhere. (See Etz Chayim, Shaar Shevirat HaKelim ch. 2; Pitchey Chochmah VaDaat #43, Shaarey Ramchal p. 184.)
