“Creation out of nothing, from the void, could be nothing other than creation of the void, that is, of the possibility of thinking of anything that was not God. With-out such an act of self-limitation, after all, there would be only God and obviously nothing else. A being that is not God could only become possible and originate by virtue of such a contraction, such a paradoxical retreat of God in to himself. By positing a negative factor in Himself, God liberates creation.”
Gershom Scholem’s
