0 God originates as the Void "I AM",
God the Void "I AM" is all things together as a whole being.
God the Void does not know Itself because you only are what you are relative to another thing that is not you and if you are all things there is no point of reference to know yourself by.
In absence of that which you are not, that what you are is not (the Void).
"I AM" has to extend into what is not "I AM" in order for "I AM" to know Itself.
Extending for the Void "I AM" is to measure (judge) Itself.
1 God's first extension (judgement) is into Everything "I AM THAT I AM". The Void "I AM" then knows what "I AM" is by the measurement between "I AM THAT I AM" and "I AM".
The first judgement (measurement, extension) can be called a dream because the Void "I AM" had to look into what was not the Void.
2 Everything "I AM THAT I AM" then extends into what is not "I AM THAT I AM" in order for "I AM THAT I AM" to know Itself. "I AM THAT I AM" extends itself into "I AM THAT" and then knows Itself by comparison (judging).
The second judgement (measurement, extension) can be called the second dream because Everything "I AM THAT I AM" had to look into what was not Everything.
3 "I AM THAT" then extends into what is not "I AM THAT" in order for "I AM THAT" to know itself. "I AM THAT" extends itself into "I am thats" and then knows itself by comparison (judging)
The third judgement (measurement, extension) can be called the third dream because "I AM THAT" had to look into what was not "I AM THAT".
4 I am thats make up the entire universe of male and females.
I was just reading a book on Kabbalah and it struck me how much your exposition sounds like the first part of the emanative process, including contraction of "Ein Sof" to admit judgement as a basis for 'evil'. These are the synchronicities that help me understand certain types of things. Thanks!
:grin:
Spinny is all about synchronicity
