Planes of existence
Atziluth ( ), or World ofEmanation. On this levelthe light of the Ein Sof(Infinite Divine or literallytranslated "without end") radiates and is still united withits source. This supernal revelation therefore precludesthe souls and Divine emanations in Atzilus from sensingtheir own existence.
Beri'ah ( or alternatively[3] ) or World ofCreation. On this level is the first concept ofcreatio exnihilohowever without any shape or form. This is alsowhere the Highest Ranking Angels are to be found.
Yetzirah ( ) or World ofFormation. On this level
the created being assumes shape and form. Assiah ( ) or World ofAction. On this level the
creation is complete; however, it is still on a spirituallevel. At a later stage there is the 'physical Assiah'comprising our physical Universe with all its creatures.

Shiv (formless & non-
percieveable ) God is an absolute one indivisible
incomparable being who is the
ultimate cause of all existence. Jewish
tradition teaches that the true aspectof God is incomprehensible and
unknowable, and that it is only God's
revealed aspect that brought theuniverse into existence, and interacts
with mankind and the world.
