'In the beginning when God created heaven and earth, the earth was formless and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.' What do these first lines of the book of Genesis mean? Before creation, the universe was an expanse of chaos and darkness, described by the words 'formless' and 'void', 'darkness', and 'the deep'. But hovering over this chaos moved the Spirit of God. Water is the symbol of primordial matter. Fire, the divine Spirit, fertilises this matter in order to extract from it all its riches. As the spirit fertilises matter, new creations gradually take shape, and the Spirit discovers its powers and comes to know itself. Thus, if you ask me why God created the universe, I will reply: 'In order to know Himself.' The Cabbalah teaches that God wishes to know Himself through His reflection, and it expresses this idea through the image of water in which the face of God is reflected. Of course, the question remains: 'Why does God want to know Himself through matter?' That is the mystery.
