Rav Michael Laitman, PhD discusses the Thought of Creation in relation to the sensation of the creation itself. As Rav Laitman states in the lesson: "The Creator begins creation and the souls--man--end creation."
Video clip taken from the lesson "Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah". Links to the full lesson:
Furthermore, the irony is that without this awareness of the finite, however distorted it is, we cannot appreciate the idea of infinity. We wonder at the size of a mountain because it is so much bigger than an ant. So we wonder at infinity because we are aware of something finite... If we didn't we would be permanently ONE with the infinite, and we are not there yet, although that is our destiny in Kabbalah...
I think the solution with this question is very simple - there is no finite activity within the infinite Ain Sof, we only perceive it as such. In fact everything contains within it infinity - remember, for instance, that PI is a number with no fractional end... It is OUR limited perception in Assiyah which thinks there is finitude. In fact, just as the soul stretches from Nephesh to Yehkidah, everything stretches to the Eternal...
The eye of God, is beware that infinite and through the perception of man its house in memory is finite. In conclusion man explains to long about the infinite with the finite. And never really understands that the infinite is really just the number 1 as a whole. 2 is the number finite is describes that there is something more than nothing. 0 is the number that shows that the degree this man got for not really calling a star a creature. Thank you and I didn't like being erased when you tried 2-1=
And if we were ONE with the Infinite we would BE that Infinity, we would not be AWARE of it...
