Essence

Photo by Erwann Stephanne

“The essence of Divinity is found in every single thing—nothing but it exists. Since it causes every thing to be, no thing can live by anything else. It enlivens them; its existence exists in each existent.

“Do not attribute duality to God. Let God be solely God... If you suppose that Ein Sof [infinity] emanates until a certain point, and that from that point on is outside of it, you have dualized. God forbid!

“Realize, rather, that Ein Sof exists in each existent. Do not say, “This is a stone and not God.” God forbid! Rather, all existence is God, and the stone is a thing pervaded by divinity.”¹

— Moses Cordovero

Divine essence is the whole of all.²
