"Maybe the most important Kabbalistic teaching on love comes from the
realm of cosmology, where the biblical mystics introduce to us a beautiful and
important idea that enormously affects how we live our lives. The idea in two
sentences: The world does not come into being through divinity stepping forward
in a creative gesture. Quite the opposite--God steps back in a movement of
sacrificial withdrawal in order to create the world. God creates an empty
space, and only then, in that space, can the world emerge from the divine womb
of being! 'But how can that be?' we ask the mystics. 'Isn't the whole point of
the God idea that divinity is infinite and everywhere? How can God just step
back?'</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
