He was and was not, He was encompassed in the name yet not encompassed in the name, having as yet no name other than the desire to be called by a name. . . . He traced signs in the air; a dark light leapt from His most secret depth, like a colourless mist that gives form to formlessness, and as the mist spread, a burst of flames took shape in its centre, and the flames streamed down to illuminate the lower Sefirot, and down, down to the Kingdom.
