SACRED STUDIO PREMIERE THEATER · EPISODE I OF VI · APOPHATIC COSMOGONY & THE SHATTERING (14 SLIDES · 7m 47s)
The Illuminated Void — Tzimtzum & The Shattering of the Vessels
Ain Soph Aur, Lurianic Contraction, Adam Kadmon, Olam HaTohu & The Two Paths of Restoration
Before the ten Sephiroth could appear, the Infinite Light (Ain Soph Aur) had to perform Tzimtzum—a radical, voluntary contraction to clear a sacred vacuum for finite consciousness. In Episode I, I walk slide by slide through the Reshimu and Kav, Adam Kadmon, the shattering of the vessels in Olam HaTohu (Shevirat HaKelim), and how Jewish Tikkun Olam and the Hermetic Magnum Opus respond to the cosmic catastrophe.
Active Slide Narration · Slide 01 · The Genesis of the Void — The Apophatic Absolute
“Welcome to this deep comparative research exploration into the architecture of the Tree of Life—Etz Chaim. To understand how infinite light becomes physical matter, we must first look prior to creation, prior to manifestation, into the unconditioned zero-point known in Kabbalah as Negative Existence.”
