Good is defined as an influx of Good from Hashem, Who is completely and perfectly Good. Evil is not a positive influx, but rather, it is a lack of Good.
Hashem created numerous channels through which He brings His influx into the world, to His many creations.

There are three time periods which correspond to the three states of man. In one state, the physical body has control, in one state the soul is mostly in control, and in the third, the soul is completely in control.
The fifth stage of man is when the physical body is in charge and its needs must be met.
We discuss the four stages (of five) where the physical body is beholden to the spiritual aspect of man.
The ultimate stage of perfection is where the body and soul are joined and the body is completely nullified to the soul.
We discuss the characteristics of the joining of the physical and spiritual, both in regards to the joining of body and soul, as well as the joining of the aspects of Hashem's revelation and hiding.
In order to understand the different stages the world goes through, we need to understand the body and soul respectively, as well as how they come together.
The different names that we use to refer to God are not a representation of His essence, but rather a reflection of the way He interacts with us. At His essence, no name applies. We can speak about the soul in a corresponding way.
