Secrets of Gen 1.1

SECRETS OF GENESIS 1:1
PROF. M. M. NINAN
“Prior to Creation, there was only the infinite Or Ein Sof filling all existence. When it arose in G-d's
Will to create worlds and emanate the emanated ... He contracted (in Hebrew "tzimtzum") Himself
in the point at the center, in the very center of His light. He restricted that light, distancing it to the
sides surrounding the central point, so that there remained a void, a hollow empty space, away
from the central point ... After this tzimtzum ... He drew down from the Or Ein Sof a single straight
line [of light] from His light surrounding [the void] from above to below [into the void], and it
chained down descending into that void. ... In the space of that void He emanated, created,
formed and made all the worlds.”— Etz Chaim, Arizal, Heichal A"K, anaf
From the contraction, God created a space. He then by his Word created all the dimensions of
existence and its beings. That is the story told in the Bible.
But evidently space cannot exist without the immanence of God. God is present without being
overpowering as the very space into which the vibrations of the Word with logos qualities creates
matter and life and all its logos. These immanence is seen as the nerve lines of God which
appears universally in cosmos as the strings.
In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle
physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. It describes how these strings
propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string
scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties
determined by the vibrational state of the string. It is the vibration that determines what the
physical state of that creation will be. In string theory, one of the many vibrational states of the
string corresponds to the graviton, a quantum mechanical particle that carries gravitational force.
Thus string theory is a theory of quantum gravity. As the dimensions increases, the complicated
forms within the creation will appear. Thus it is the Word - Sound of creation - that pervades all
creation and gives it form.
