The Hidden Delight of the God Beyond God - Kabbalistic Divine Auto-Eroticism

Kabbalah teaches that nothing can be known about the primordial, hidden realm of the Infinite (Ein Sof). A oneness beyond all comprehension, an eternality beyond all contemplation. Yet, out of that blindingly dark void stirs a vast contraction of light (tzimtzum) into which pours the cascading emanations of the divines essences (sefirot). Yet, one daring Kabbalist attempted to peer into the Shining Void of Ein Sof to discover what catalyzed Some-things from No-thing-ness. R. Israel Sarug's mystical speculations set upon the eternal, infinite Divine Delight (שעשוע - sha’ashua) as he attempted to combine the Kabbalistic systems of Moses Cordovero with Isaac Luria. Let's dive into some of the most profound mystical speculations of the 16th century Kabbalistic revolution.
