Creation: - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/information-connecting-two-sides-reality-gutman-levitan?... - A mystery of modern cosmology is an astrophysical observation that dark energy is not diluted in the expanding space [5]. The relatively recent observation being considered together with the ancient revelation of Kabbalah, according to which the world was created by contraction of divine light [4] leads to the conclusion that space is something made of matter, energy, dark matter and dark energy rather than nothing filled with all of the above. - In a universe expanding due to additional empty space, energy that already exists is diluted. In a universe where the additional space is made of the low-density dark energy that emerges first when the spiritual energy is compressed, the new dark energy may have the same density as one previously existed. If so, space made of energy and matter emerged together with energy and matter and not before. - Genesis account of six day creation does not mention the day zero but New Testament reveals: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). The meaning of the verse has been a subject of argument in Cristian theology but “In the beginning” could very well refer to the start of creation. ...
Today we would say: on the day zero there was information (the Word) about the world to be created, the plan of Creator (and the Word was with God). There was information in the spiritual mode and no physical vehicle for carrying the information through space, yet to come into existence. - *** - Still the most intriguing part of the verse is “and the Word was God” because taken literally it points to the name of Creator. In Kabbalah, the four-letter true name of God, YHVH in Latin notation, is associated with the world creation. According to Kabbalah, the first Hebrew letter Yud symbolizes the initial contraction of divine light, the second letter Hei - the initial expansion, the third letter Vav - a sudden extension and the repetition of letter Hei at the end - an expansion again, rather gradual than explosive. Interestingly the symbolism was not lost in Latin: letters Y, H and V also look like symbols of compression, expansion and explosion respectively. Therefore in Kabbalistic terms the four letters of God's name represent four stages of creation. Returning to John 1:1 we can say that being understood literally the verse says that at the beginning there was a plan of creation presented on the upper level of design by the four letters of the true name of God. - *** - Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) is celebration of creation and in 2014 it was 5775th anniversary. Does the Jewish tradition contradicts the scientific findings? - But there is no reason to celebrate Big Bang in the first place. The event marks neither the beginning nor completion of creation. Apparently the completion should be marked with the creation of man rather than bang. - *** - And why are chimpanzees still alive and well but all those pre-humans are not? Meanwhile the explanation is simple: none of the pre-humans was ever intended to be an end product of creation. All of them were prototypes for testing the “bipedal locomotion” and other cool features of the final human being. Just imaging the legal mess in a democratic society if this were otherwise i.e., if a clear line between living humans and living apes cannot be drawn or races would be physically, intellectually or spiritually not equal. - Rosh Hashanah celebration points to creation of mankind as the end product and final goal of creation. No matter how strange this may sound, the “species” with fully developed language and spirituality came into existence about 6000 years ago according to scientific findings. This is the time when writing (3200 B.C.) and literature (2600 B.C.) emerged. Earlier traces of information-related activities, such as clay tokens and proto-writing, are no match to true writing and arts and apparently could be attributed to testing of the pre-human spiritual and language abilities according to the plan and schedule of creation. - Comment: It should be apparent to all that I have adopted much of the Kabballah thinking, but have only read one book on the subject.
