What is Creator?

[AnthroHeart]

The answer is both and neither. I just had a conversation over private message with another user here about this exact topic. One can’t say that God exists or that He doesn’t exist. Above Kether, the Crown, are the three negative veils of existence: negative existence, or the Creator as He truly is. Existence is dependent on manifestation. If we go backwards from Kether, we enter the Great Unmanifest. Manifestation is dependent on Ain Soph, but Ain Soph is not dependent on manifestation.

The Buddha was asked to describe whether an Arahat ceases to exist upon Liberation and the answer given was that one cannot qualify it with words. One cannot say that he exists or doesn’t exist. It is a mode of existence that is wholly other than what we know or can conceive of. I use this example because complete and perfect enlightenment in the East is equivalent to Union with God, the mystical experience of Kether.
The Buddha recommends that we go all the way and see for ourselves, and I am perfectly content with that answer

Tzim tzum is an interesting concept. Ain Soph contracts within Itself and concentrates a point in Ain Soph Aur (the Limitless Light), this becomes Kether. There is nothing but the Creator. Nothing. No-thing. Therefore there cannot be anything other than the Creator. The Creation is not outside of the Creator. So, in the expression of positive and negative existence, the Great Unmanifest is negative existence, manifestation (the commencement of the Emanations starting with Kether of Atziluth and ending at Malkuth of Assiah) is positive existence. Dion Fortune in her Mystical Qabalah said that Kether is the Malkuth of the Unmanifest. It’s a seed thought.

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.
