Ain Sof
Ain עין
Within the beneficent realms of the cosmic being
we are,
Exist unlimited supernal undifferentiated
dimensions,
Forever unmanifest and physically unknowable,
Endless realms of being beyond time, space, color,
and form,
Beyond movement, energy, and limitation.
Realms of being which constitute the sum of all
Life.
Only of the presence of this veiled mysterious
unknowable
Can we be aware.
Ain Sof עין סוף
From the realm of unknowable
עין
In the simple depths of
its light
Manifests restriction:
An infinite void containing space
For differentiation and individuation.
The differentiation and individuation causes
The arousal of a desire to engage unity.
Thereby comes into supernal existence a polarity
Of intentions which are forever becoming united:
The intention of a desire to impart and a desire
to receive.
Ain Sof Awr עין סוף אור
From the realm of the
עין סוף
Imparts the perpetually animated simple primordial
Light,
The infinite bounty of giving,
The unlimited desire to share.
This light extends and shining forth in it are
seven fluid letters,
As it further extends darkness issues:
And in it are seven more fluid letters.
Then arises a firmament preventing discord between
the two sides.
And from the firmament issues eight more
letters.
