Editing Atzmus U'Mahus (section)

== Ein Sof ==
The essence and being of the Creator is infinite and therefore has the following characteristics:

a. '''Present in Every Place''' - Since 'Essence' is 'necessary existence,' no reality can exist without the 'Essence' being present in it. Therefore, any place that exists, the 'Essence' is also present there.

b. '''Not Defined or Limited at All''' - Every definition limits the defined to some framework, and it is done by a preceding factor, which cannot be said about the 'Essence.' Therefore, any definition or comprehension whatsoever does not apply to His blessed Essence. Thus, when we describe Him with any attribute, its meaning is the negation of the opposite and limitation.

c. '''His Existence is Different''' - Since only the 'Essence' is the only one that is 'necessary existence,' there is an 'incomparable' gap between existing beings whose existence is merely 'possible' and the 'Essence.'

d. "Just as He has infinite power, He has power within limitation." This means that although Hashem's power is infinite and unlimited, He can nevertheless enter and contract into physical places. As we find in the Mishkan and the Beis Hamikdash the concept of "impossibility of impossibilities" and "the place of the Ark was not part of the measure."
