What is Creator?

[Nau7ik]

Ah, so we have different levels of infinity.
God (aka Kether) is infinite.
It crystalizes from the Ain Soph Aur Limitless Light, which is infinite beyond comprehension.

So is Ain Soph Aur a symbol? Or is the Limitless Light beyond even the capability of a symbol to encapsulate or describe?

I realize each of the Sephirah are a symbol. I wonder too if the Ain Soph Aur is also a symbol.

I have to experience it myself, because these concepts cannot be put into words.

There are magical symbols for each of the Sephiroth but there are no symbols for the veils. The veils themselves are symbolic representations of that which the present human mind cannot conceive. But like Dion Fortune said, they serve to present an image to the mind, therefore serving its purpose.

So Kether is given the symbol of the swastika, the First Swirlings upon the world of Assiah, the material realm. The magical image for Kether is an ancient bearded king seen in profile. It’s an interesting symbol to contemplate. One side is revealed, the other side is hidden. Just like the dark side of the moon.

Ain Soph is intelligent infinity, I believe. I think Heart4 made an accurate observation. Because as Ra said, Infinity became aware of itself. This pure Infinity is Ayin. Infinity becoming aware of Itself, or intelligent infinity, is Ain Soph, the Limitless. I’m not sure how Ain Soph Aur fits with the Ra Material though. The act of free will upon Love manifesting Light, which is the crystallizing of a point within the ocean of Limitless Light, which would be the commencing of the Emanations, the manifestation of Kether, “Let there be light!”

I’m reading a book on Kabbalah I found at my local metaphysical store, The Essential Kabbalah: the Heart of Jewish Mysticism by Daniel C. Matt. I recommend this to those interested in the mystical / philosophical Qabalah. It’s an excellent book to contemplate the passages. It’s of a definite mystical quality. One needs to sit with it, contemplate, meditate, and he does an excellent job at conveying these qabalistic concepts and principles, specifically with the negative veils: Ayin, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur. I’ll share a passage,

AYIN
Ayin, Nothingness, is more existent than all the being of the world. But since it is simple, and every simple thing is complex compared with its simplicity, it is called Ayin.

The inner power is called Ayin because thought does not grasp it, nor reflection. Concerning this, Job said, “Wisdom comes into being out of ayin.”

The Name of Nothingness
The depth of primordial being is called Boundless. Because of its concealment from all creatures above and below, it is also called Nothingness. If one asks, “What is it?” the answer is, “Nothing,” meaning: No one can know anything about it—except the belief that it exists. It’s existence cannot be grasped by anyone other than it. Therefore its name is “I am becoming.”
