Learning How to Love - Part 15
"Nothing"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on March 1, 2020)
Imagine nothing. Absolute nothingness.
Maybe you're picturing darkness. Maybe you're picturing empty space.
But all of those are definitions, constructs born of our created reality.
The nothing we're referring to is absolute nothingness, completely void of any definition or created parameter.
Hard to imagine, right?
That nothingness is what "was" (or wasn't?) prior to creation. As the Kabbalists tell us, our universe is the product of nothingness, created yesh me'ayin -- something from nothing.
Function follows form. Our reality created from nothingness is influenced by the very created process. Deconstructing and understanding the creative process of something from nothing grants us profound insight into the mechanics of the universe, as well as our lives.
In this session oft Kabbalah & Coffee we explore the contours of nothingness, learn how it all began, and discover where we're going.
