In the beginning, there was Silence.
Existence was a watery Abyss.
Being an Abyss it is described as an Emptiness,
Yet it contained the potential to be all things,
Thus may it be described also as a Fullness.
It was called Tiamat, the Mother of All.
Serpent of the Deep Waters.
She existed in stillness, a roaring Silence
Calm yet tense like the eye of a storm.
Yet by necessity all that potential caused an implosion
A contraction, a rupture, a space was thus created.
And this contraction was called by the name Tzimtzum.
From this erupted something not of the Abyss
Being not of the Abyss this thing was incomplete
Being incomplete it was imperfect
Being imperfect it contained ignorance
Being ignorant it lacked the Stillness and Silence of perfection
It was afflicted with desire and out of its desire it too began to produce
It is called Yaldabaoth, Saklas, Samael, and Jehovah, and Demiurge.
And from it came forth what is called the World.
And this World was shaped in imitation of the things in the formless Abyss
Things that existed in the realm of potential found themselves imprisoned
Given form and made to bend to the Will of of Jehovah
And Jehovah was pleased. He created division between things
And bestowed upon them incompletion.
It is through incompletion, through ignorance, that the world was made
Because creation is abomination, a disruption of the primal Oneness.
This is why the world is afflicted with ugliness,
And only glimmers of beauty shine through.
