Every day, something new. My partner has studied the Kabbalah some, but I have not. She has explained this concept of a limitless being, before the creator. (Or limitless non-being, which we can’t name.) For me, I got stumped at about age seven, when I wanted to know how the universe can be endless without boundaries. (“What’s at the end of everything, Daddy?”) Similar to Richard Adams in WATERSHIP DOWN, I count to five and everything larger is a warren. Sometimes I go out under the stars and just say, “Can’t know, can’t know, can’t know” to whatever is beyond the universe. I looked up Ain Soph Aur, thinking he was a Japanese astrophysicist. Therefore, I will have to waddle through your succinct poem for a while. Thanks!
Thank you, Watership down is wonderful. I was taking a reference from the kabbalah indeed. In some reading I saw a passage describing ain soph Aur, as the Hebrew god being a limitless light. My use was in a much more literal use of “bright light” but still showing how flexible light can be, physically and metaphysically.
