Does one who fails to observe the Torah’s mitzvot, and transgresses prohibitions, also cause damage in the higher worlds, and, so to speak, even to the Creator, blessed be He?
It is true, certain, and correct that through his crimes and sins, when a person transgresses the Torah’s mitzvot, he causes damage in the higher worlds and, so to speak, to the honor and image of the Creator, blessed be He and exalted be His Name, but not to the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself, for no deficiency can apply to Him, as is likewise stated in the holy Zohar (II, 26b; III, 297), that the wicked damage the higher worlds in all that directly pertains to them, but not the Sefirot themselves.
However, even after a person has sinned, he can rectify what he distorted and damaged in the higher worlds and in the image of the King, through teshuvah and good deeds.

PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him.
