Description
Explores the two aspects of the divine self, the unchanging one and the ever-changing core of being that underlies reality. The second section, corresponding to the letter Heh, discusses Creation, or the birth of the world out of the oneness that is God. Here the author makes special use of the Jewish mystical idea of Emanation, as he seeks to redefine the relationship between God and the world. The author also turns from the realm of theology to that of practice, asking.
