I like your exposition of the Great Mystery. I agree, I think that the Creator is a Mystery unto Itsef. Ra says that the Creator is knowing itself. There is no exhausting Infinity. There is only the realization of becoming more than It is. There was no beginning, there shall be no end. The human mind is totally incapable of comprehension beyond Kether. Even Kether awareness is far removed from the point of evolution that we are at now; it’s beyond the Abyss on the Tree of Life.
We will all eventually “know”. We already know, deep within our being. We are apart of this Mystery. It is not separate from us. We are the eyes, ears, hands of the Creator. Through us (and we are One in truth) does the Creator comes to know Itself. Ra said: the original desire is that all entities seek and become one.
Quote:The popular concept of a God as ultimate origin of all things is replaced by a sympathetic of “negative existence.” The most remote aspect of that state, beyond which the human mind cannot conceive of anything further from life as we know it, is termed Ain, “the negative.” The next phase, still at a stupendous remove, is named Ain Soph, “without limit” or “the Infinite”; and this is just so far formulated, so to put it, that although completely impersonal it may be described as the Qabalist’s ultimate attribution of God. The third phase of negative existence is called Ain Soph Aur, “Infinite Light,” and this is almost upon the brink of those states of existence of which the human mind can in some manner conceive. Not quite upon that brink, since every word for “infinite” or “limitless” contains in its structures the idea of a limit or boundary to be effaced. That which in its primal nature has no limit, is this not truly thinkable. It cannot, indeed, be defined, for to define anything is to state it’s limits. Without quantitative statements, however, something of these notions can be conveyed in terms of relationships, as in that sentence of Marsilio Ficino, “Light is the shadow of God.”

Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, from these inscrutable, comes forth the Kether of Atziluth, the “Bountiful Giver,” whence the Emenations of the positive universe progressively unfold.
