Kabbalah

& Ain Soph Aur 

A particular variety of Jewish mysticism which first emerged in the twelfth century. “It was concerned with the inner structure and processes taking place within the divine realms” (Kabbalic mysticism book). It was distinct from magical traditions which primarily concerned the subduing of supernatural powers and harnessing them to effect change in the physical world. What these various strands of Jewish traditions do share is the belief in the supernatural power of language.

Language has always been imbued with a divine essence. In Genesis, the creation of the world came from God’s pronunciation of His will. Thus, language has the ultimate creative potential. Early Jewish mystical texts are rife with lists of both divine and angelic names, whose knowledge is believed to give special powers to those who are capable of (and open to) receiving them. The main idea behind this genre of text is to connect the text of the divine revelation as it’s written in scripture with its referents. 

The linguistic link between the created world in which the texts exists and the divine realm enables the practitioner to play in realms on high through the use of language. 

Each divine realm, each universe, each galaxy, has its own central sun. Ain Soph Aur, for example, is the make up of multiple transcendental suns. But within it no mechanical principle exists. There exists solely the most complete, unutterable peace of that which creates the universes. Each being, each human mechanism, likewise has its own central  sun. This is our first and truest light. It emerges from the absolute, which is pure emptiness.
