How the One Becomes the Many / 11 one-in-three garment of nonbeing: ¿ayin, “no-thing-ness,” the darkness of pure nonbeing, which produced ¿ÿin sõf, “boundless” expanse of space; and the union of these two brought forth ¿ÿin sõf ¿õr, “boundless or limitless light,” the primal light of pre-manifestation.* When the Boundless or ¿ÿin sõf wished to exhibit an aspect of itself, this three-in-one veil of nonbeing contracted or, as the Zohar phrases it, “concentrated its essence” into a single point: the boundless expanse condensed into the one primordial point (nêqûdãh ri¿shõnãh, also called nêqûdãh qadmã¿ãh), which point they called Sêfîrãh, primal number or emanation. Having thus “concentrated” its divine essence in Sêfîrãh, it again expanded and a universe of tenfold character unfolded into manifestation. This process of contraction and expansion is called tsimtsûm (tension) and the resulting “expanded or smooth point” is called nêqûdãh pêshû¬ãh. The universe so produced is the sêfîrõthal tree of life. From Sêfîrãh, called likewise Kether the Crown, issued forth in time and space nine lower sêfîrõth or emanations of graduated spiritual and material texture. This emanational procession is described again and again in the Zohar, as in the following passages: When the Hidden of all the Hidden, willed to manifest Itself, It first made a point (Kether, the first Sephirah . . .), shaped it into a Sacred Form (i.e., the totality of all the Sephiroth, the Adam Illa-ah, or Adam Qadmon) and covered it with a rich and splendid garment, that is the universe. — Zohar 1:2 a, Myer, Qabbalah, pp. 280-81 *See Mathers, Kabbalah, pp. 20-1 and diagram.
