== Creation Process == In the process of creation through which Hashem created all beings, He first created simple matter without form, which is the Hiyuli matter. Afterward, the Creator instilled in it four forms: the form of fire, the form of wind, the form of [[water]], and the form of earth. However, even then they were still abstract existences that weren't tangible matter, but rather just the elements of matter from which all creations in the world were composed. In the elements of matter, there must be a clear distinction between relative elements and absolute elements. While science deals with elements of matter that are only relative, meaning they are elements in relation to matter actually used by humans, the absolute elements are not in the category of matter but rather are only '''elements''' of matter, even though they are called by names of materials known in nature - fire, wind, water, and earth. Only after their mixing and combining to become actual matter do the elements become components of matter, and each one becomes part of the matter. From the four physical elements, all physical creations were composed, and from the four spiritual elements, all spiritual creations were composed.
