We are dealing with a subtle topic – non-functioning powers – hidden powers – how the kochot/powers are in their hidden state. The way the soul experiences the powers. Each is in full purity and in full force. Revealed powers, even though they have a sense to know Hashem directly, are not functioning this way – they see the living world and deduce from this that there is a Creator. There is a personal insight, not just logical proof. There is a recognition of a G-dly presence in the world. Inner powers are not aware of the outside world at all. These kochot ne-elamim express what the nefesh says.
Seeing is real, and it is from the inner power that sight has a foundation. Without the nefesh you don't have a real experience of sight.
'Tho each is connected to the nefesh, there is still a subtle hierarchy among the inner powers. Kochot ne-elamim are always in synch. Not that the midot need guidance of the mochin, yet still there is a subtle hierarchy.
