Causes
Every thing has a cause.
Only that which is no thing has no cause.
Everything in the world of action has a cause in
the world of formation.
Everything in the world of formation has a cause
in the world of creation.
Everything in the world of creation has a cause
in the world of emanation.
In the world of emanation all is in unity.
There is only good.
In the world of creation, there is mostly good and
some appearance of evil.
In the world of formation, there is good and more
appearance of evil than in the world of creation.
In the world of manifestation, there is good and
yet more appearance of evil than in the world of formation.
The world of emanation is the world of thought, which brings into existence and maintains the worlds of creation, formation, and making. Therefore, the connection between emanation, creation, formation and making is constant. (Bar-Lev, Song of My Soul, (Petach Tikva, Israel, 77 Rothchild St. 1994), p. 55)
