1. The Creation of Space and Time
Space and time are brought into existence through G-d’s attribute of malchut and the Name of Adnut, sustaining their existence from nothingness.
2. Unity of Malchut with G-d’s Essence
Malchut is united with G-d’s Essence, causing space and time, created through malchut, to be nullified in relation to His Essence, similar to sunlight within the sun.
3. The Role of Divine Names
The Name of Adnut reveals G-d’s presence within space and time, while the Name Havayah reflects His transcendence over them, signifying “He was, is, and will be” simultaneously.
4. Lower-Level Unity (Yichuda Tataah)
This unity intertwines the Divine Name Havayah within the Name of Adnut, concealing G-d’s infinite light while allowing space and time to exist as perceived realities.
5. Permeation of the Infinite Light
G-d’s Essence, termed the Infinite One (Ein Sof), fills the entirety of space and time equally, encompassing both the heavens and the earth, which remain nullified within the Ein Sof-light.
6. The Function of Tzimtzum
Through tzimtzum and concealment in malchut, G-d hides the Ein Sof-light, enabling the dimensions of space and time to exist rather than being entirely nullified.
