Ain Soph Aur

From the Great Unmanifest of non-being and pre-Ketheric condition exist what Gray terms the “condensation-condition” as follows:

Ain ~ Nothing (“What now?”)

Ain Soph – Limitlessness (Freedom)

Ain Soph Aur – Limitless Light (Spiritual Illumination)

The concept is of light intensifying from out of darkness till it reaches a maximum focus at Kether which enables God to create the Cosmos. The Divine Consciousness impressed its intention and Will upon Ain (Nothing) using “words” — recall the statement: “And God said: Let there be Light, and there was Light.”

On the way up the Tree we reach Kether and then move beyond to find our “True Selves” in Immortality, a coming into what mystics have called the Divine Union with God.

Here is another way of looking at Ain Soph Aur espoused by Gray:

AIN
SPH
AVR

Rearrange as such from Hebrew:

ASA – “To be strong, and heal.”
IPV – “Very beautiful.”
NHR – “To flow. Figurative for gathering of people.”

And, as Gray writes, “Surely the story of the Tree cannot be put much plainer than that”?
