The “Boundless” or Limitless; Deity emanating and extending. [w.w.w.]
Ain Soph is also written ''En Soph ''and ''Ain Suph'', no one, not even Rabbis, being sure of their vowels. In the religious metaphysics of the old Hebrew philosophers, the ONE Principle was an abstraction, like Parabrahmam, though modern Kabbalists have succeeded now, by dint of mere sophistry and paradoxes, in making a “Supreme God” of it and nothing higher. But with the early Chaldean Kabbalists Ain Soph is “without form or being”, having “no likeness with anything else” (Franck, ''Die Kabbala, ''p. 126). That Ain Soph has never been considered as the “Creator” is proved by even such an orthodox Jew as Philo calling the “Creator” the ''Logos'', who stands next the “Limitless One”, and the “Second God”. “The Second God is its (Ain Soph’s) wisdom”, says Philo ''(Quaest. et Solut.''). Deity is NO‐THING; it is nameless, and therefore called Ain Soph; the word Ain meaning NOTHING. (See Franck’s ''Kabbala'', p. 153 ff.)[[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]]<span style="color: grey; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic;"> (<span style="font-style: italic; border-bottom:1px dotted gray; cursor:help;" title="'Theosophical Glossary' by H.
