I was once taught that all the universes,
spiritual and earthly, emerge into being because some ultimate cosmic male
seeks out his missing cosmic female; that all the universes, with their
happenings, are designed to bridge these longing lovers.
But this story is not just about the
universes. It is also about me and you.
Deep down, in some intangible space of
self, we all seek one ultimate spiritual connection. Most of us don't
even know what it is. It could be too deeply lodged to see. Yet, the whole
drama of our lives emerges from this singular seeking.

In the "Tahiru I'la'ah" there's a Divine Name consisting of 39 letters. The first letter in a י and last letter is a ה, which goes missing. The creative process is triggered by the י searching for the missing ה.
ReplyDeleteIn the Tahiru I'La'ah there's a 39 lettered Name. The first letter, the most masculine, is "Yud". The last letter, the most feminine, is "Hey". The "Hey" goes missing and the "Yud" seeks her out. In the process of the seeking, worlds and realms are brought into being.
ReplyDeleteWhile this is not the "why?" of the emergence, it is part of it's "how"; i.e. the mechanism. The why of creation has other answers; such as: "it's the nature of good to do good" or "He desires a dwelling place below" or "to actualize His Names and Attributes" or "all was created for His glory" or "He was inspired by the deeds of the saintly", etc.
