Puzzle north of the cemetery : how to leave?

Hello all,
I am currently stuck north of the cemetary,
In the puzzle where you have to "rotate" platforms in order to reach the other side of a pit, and pull a lever. I now want to go back to where I came from, but found out this to be difficult. Sadly, when the lever is down, the teleport situated at the bottom of the pit brings me back on the wrong side. To leave, I would need to lift the lever again, essentially doing nothing, I suppose
Question: how do I reach back the main part of the cemetary and leave the lever down at the same time, please?
Thanks!

The lever has nothing to do with it.

Same place I am at the moment, whats the point of going to the other side if you have to flick lever back up to get back across, and the power gem gate remains locked.

It has to do with what teleporter you can take in the room you end up in when falling into the pit.
When it is up, you end up south of the puzzle. When it is down, you end up north of it.
Thus, the only way I can leave atm is when the lever is down.

Then it's time to find the right way to solve this little pit puzzle because with the lever up you won't get the power gem.

Agreed with that last sentence. However, sir/madam, this forum is called "gameplay Hints", and from its description, its reads "This is the forum for helping you out if you're stuck in Grimrock 2" and so far you did not provide much help, with you first post being wrong and the second one being just a troll.
So, please, if you do know something, please guide me towards the solution. Else, I will just assume that you know nothing more than I do.

Alright, so... After seing vinlock's post, I went back to it, and indeed I managed to leave with the lever down. I have to admit, I still have not this one figured out, so I cannot explain it to anyone, except that it does not require to jump down the pit, at any time.
. Good thing is,
I now have access to the hub

I told you that the lever is not important which is a pretty huge hint. Beside that there are four (4) buttons which move two(2) pits around on a 2x3 grid. It should not be too tough to figure out, which button moves which pit.
