We brought out that there are two sets of kochot – the revealed and the hidden powers.
The hidden ones is the source for the revealed kochot. This means that the external powers are sourced in the nefesh. These kochot hane-elamim are internal and don't function externally. The external kochot flow down in a hierarchy.
The hidden powers are not in a hierarchy – each one is directly rooted in the nefesh. Revealed powers work on the level of a person's place in the world. Inner powers refer to the capabilities of the nefesh.
The hidden powers come from the nefesh and have equal power, but in their essence they are different from each other and there is amongst them higher and lower positions. They are equally related to the nefesh, but at their essence there is higher and lower from the perspective of their quality.
Intellect and emotions are different at essence. They may seem to both be spiritual powers (not physical), but they are separate essence. The mahus of sechel is higher than that of midot. The sechel has a superior quality. Sight and hearing are both senses, but they are totally different levels.
