Planes of existence

Atziluth ( ), or World ofEmanation. On this levelthe light of the Ein Sof(Infinite Divine or literallytranslated "without end") radiates and is still united withits source. This supernal revelation therefore precludesthe souls and Divine emanations in Atzilus from sensingtheir own existence.

Beri'ah ( or alternatively[3] ) or World ofCreation. On this level is the first concept ofcreatio exnihilohowever without any shape or form. This is alsowhere the Highest Ranking Angels are to be found.

Yetzirah ( ) or World ofFormation. On this level

the created being assumes shape and form. Assiah ( ) or World ofAction. On this level the

creation is complete; however, it is still on a spirituallevel. At a later stage there is the 'physical Assiah'comprising our physical Universe with all its creatures.
