Kabalistik Sonuçlar

That which is called EN SOPH among the Kabbalists is undoubtedly what is called Pallas by Orpheus, the Paternal Mind by Zoroaster, the Son of God by Hermes Trismegistus, Wisdom by Pythagoras, and the Intelligible Sphere by Parmenides. If God is understood in Himself as the Infinite, as the One, and according to Himself, we understand nothing as proceeding from Him. Instead, we understand a separation from all things, a total enclosure of Himself within Himself, and an extreme, deep, and solitary withdrawal into the most remote recess of His divinity, with Him hiding Himself most inwardly in the abyss of His own darkness, and in no way manifesting Himself in the expansion and outpouring of His goodness and fount-like splendor. From the preceding conclusion, it can be understood why it is said among the Kabbalists that God clothed Himself in ten garments when He created the world. Whoever understands the subordination of Mercy to Wisdom within the right-hand coordination will perfectly understand, through the way of the Kabbalah, how Abraham in his day saw the day of Christ through a straight line and rejoiced.
