The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man
We make two errors. The first being that our language is an exclusive language: if we say one word, we exclude any concept
or word that is not that word in our language. As “In the Beginning”, we do not know what we are talking about nor
can we conceive that concept.
The second error is to use this limiting thought in trying to perceive the totality of life. As soon as we designate something
that we do not know, we do not designate something that exists. We can say such words as “Elohim”, “Eternal”,
“Creator”; but what we mean by these terms will never be more than indefinite imagery since it is measured by our own
thought.
• Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith YHWH.
These two fundamental errors cause men to think of Ayn Sof in terms of man. We attribute to “Him” thoughts, will, ways,
and emotions. When we try to relate to things that we do not know, we are imagining something about which we are totally
ignorant. What we need is direct perception instead of blind faith.
Anything visible and anything that can be grasped by thought has limits and it bounded. Anything bounded is finite. Anything
finite is not undifferentiated. This boundless One is called Ayn Sof, Infinite. It is boundless, undifferentiation in perfect,
changeless Oneness. It transcends and conceals Itself, It is the essence of everything hidden and revealed. It is the
Root of faith and the Root of rebellion. We comprehend it only by way of NO! No letter, no Name, no writing, nothing
can confine It. It is “I am that I am”. Ayn Sof has no will, no intention, no desire, no thought, no speech, and no action- yet
there is nothing outside it.
We cannot attribute duality to Ayn Sof. Let Ayn Sof be Ayn Sof. The minute you suppose Ayn Sof emanates from a certain
point, and that from that point on is outside it, you have dualized Ayn Sof. Rather, understand that Ayn Sof exists in each
existence .All existence is Ayn Sof and there is nothing that is not pervaded by the power of Divinity if there were, Ayn Sof
would be limited and subject to duality. Ayn Sof exists in everything, though everything that exists is not Ayn Sof. Yet,
everything is within It; It is within everything and outside everything. There is nothing but It.
We have to remember that the only instrument we have for investigation is our mind. If we do not fully understand how
the human mind works, this instrument will distort, twist, and disfigure every reality or Truth we may discover. The quality
and condition of the instrument governs the observation resulting from its use. If the lenses of our glasses are covered
with prejudices, false teachings, veils, and misconceptions, then everything we observe will be cloudy.
• Rom 12:2 And [you* are] to stop conforming yourselves to this age, _but_ [are] to continue being transformed
by the renewal of your* mind, in order for you* to be proving what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will
of Elohim
• 1Co 13:9-12 Now we know by part and we prophesy by part. But when the perfect [or, complete] comes, then the
[thing] by part [fig., which is partial] will become useless. When I was a child, I was speaking as a child, I was
thinking as a child, I was reasoning as a child; but when I have become a man, I have put away the [things] of the
child. For we now see by means of a mirror by reflection [fig., indirectly], but then face to face; now I know in
part, but then I will know fully, just as I also was known.
All conceptual entanglements of man and in all inner, mental conflicts result solely from our cloudy concept of the Divine.
We need to constantly clarify the mind, so that it is free from deceptive fantasies, groundless fears, bad habits, and
deficiencies. The essence of true faith is an awareness of the vastness of Infinity. Whatever of it that enters the mind is a
speck in comparison to what should be conceived, and that is a speck compared to what really is. All the Divine Names
provide merely a tiny, dim spark of the Hidden Light for which the soul yearns when it says the word, “Ayn Sof”. Every
definition of “G-d” is heresy and spiritual idolatry. Even attributing mind and thought to Ayn Sof, even attributing Divinity
itself, and the Name “YHWH” are mere definitions. One has to draw a distinction between the true essence of faith and its
explanatory aids and the levels of explanation.
