In hebrew, as it’s noted in the kabbalist book Zohar, the word for I (אני) and nothing (אין) contains the same letters. The book points out this interesting idea, that only the order (of the letters) makes difference between “me” and “nothingness” – in other words we are all nothing compare with the ein sof, the infinity of G-d. Only our mind, imagination and ego arrange the letters in a different order creating I.

I made this print based around this idea. In case you don't read hebrew, on the left side you read Ani - I, and on the right Ein - Nothing.

You can order this print through Etsy here.

Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof (/eɪn sɒf/, Hebrew: אֵין סוֹף‎ ʾēn sōf; meaning "infinite", lit. '(There is) no end'), in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual realm, probably derived from Solomon ibn Gabirol's (c. 1021 – c. 1070) term, "the Endless One" (she-en lo tiklah). Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity. It was first used by Azriel (c. 1160 – c. 1238), who, sharing the Neoplatonic belief that God can have no desire, thought, word, or action, emphasized by it the negation of any attribute. Of the Ein Sof, nothing ("Ein") can be grasped ("Sof"-limitation). It is the origin of the Ohr Ein Sof, the "Infinite Light" of paradoxical divine self-knowledge, nullified within the Ein Sof prior to creation. In Lurianic Kabbalah, the first act of creation, the Tzimtzum self "withdrawal" of God to create an "empty space", takes place from there. In Hasidic Judaism, the Tzimtzum is only the illusionary concealment of the Ohr Ein Sof, giving rise to monistic panentheism. Consequently, Hasidism focuses on the Atzmus divine essence, rooted higher within the Godhead than the Ein Sof, which is limited to infinitude, and reflected in the essence (etzem) of the Torah and the soul.

“Même si vous pensez que l'amour fait mal, le fait de remuer la tasse a une raison. La douceur du café est dans le brassage, et la dégustation. La résonance de la blessure, c'est de vous révéler les joies du non conventionnel, la sortie de votre zone de confort.. l'imprévisible.

L'étrangeté de l'inconnu.

FEMALE IS FIRST

I see this backwards mysticism all over the place. Christian theology based heavily on the platonist notions that the trinity is Nous, Logos, and then Sophia.

Even Crowley in his Hermetic Qabbala did this. He goes from Crown to masculine wisdom and feminine understanding. A) Kabbalah is a Jewish mystical system not a Western Esoteric fashion statement. Chokmah is feminine. Woman Wisdom is the first formed being. She is the World Soul. I promise you I’m right.

Now, Yehoshua- YHVH IS SALVATION- pointed humanity back in the direction of Godhead within. That style of teaching is Chokmah- Divine Wisdom. He spoke from a place of Binah- Divine Understanding. His entire Helakhah- way of being- alludes to the Divine Feminine found in Chockmah being the Shekhinah Glory permeating ALL of Malkhut.

Hakemah Elaha- it’s an Aramaic phrase that- like all Semitic languages- is incredibly difficult to put in English we can grasp. The wisdom tradition is very specific about the matriarch being what binds us together. Hakemah- is the divine wisdom that forms into the universe we live in. She is the glue. Elaha- is unity. We see God is all there is. To chant Hakemah Elaha is to feel the sense of divine wisdom permeating all of creation. We relax into the womb of divinity.

Now it’s doubtful I will ever attempt to describe what lies beyond Sophia- Chockmah and Logos- Binah (in a Christian sense). Moshe was pretty specific about the infinite unknowable One being beyond our understanding.

The Aramaic word Abwoom- our Father?- opens us up to the Divine Wisdom of the Infinite Unknowable One but it’s paradoxical. Abloom alludes to an ongoing process of creation where feminine and masculine are one. They cease being the base definitions of gender we have and become this sort of co-parent body of isness?

I know that’s not an answer to it’s true meaning. I write as I learn and share that process. Welcome to the perpetual state of becoming. 😂 We simply don’t know what God is no matter how deep into relationship we get. So, let’s close with the Scottish wisdom of Paolo Nutini- “it was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die.”

Jamming out to Arkana again. I'm healing, I think.

I was using this to plot my D&D campaign that my friend and I were going to run, and then my ex broke up with me and sent me into a bit of a tailspin (and made us hastily try to rewrite the campaign as it had a big arc for him).

Now I'm imagining it as soundtrack for Girasol's journey.

Improvise, adapt, overcome.
