Please be aware that this explanation of creation is just one possible
explanation. You are free to agree or disagree as you feel necessary (in other words, there are but few "facts" herein-it's mostly and intuitive attempt at explaining the unexplainable).
Kaballah tells us that existence came out of three different types of
Nothing.
First there is Ain. Ain is really Nothing (the absence of anything).
Ain can be described as Awareness, or potentiality. Potential is Nothing
without the consciousness to initiate that potentiality.
Next there's Ain Soph. Ain Soph can be described as consciousness. The
consciousness is needed to initiate the potentiality. Since Ain would
have been aware of this, Ain initiated the potentiality for itself to
become conscious. This happened because effect can precede cause.
Finally there's Ain Soph Aur. This can be described as The One that
came out of Nothing. It is when Nothing decided it was Not. This sets
the stage for the first positive in existence.
Einstein tells us some important things. Among them 'E=MC2'.
Energy can never be created nor destroyed, it can only change form.
So, Energy always existed. Doesn't Kaballah tell us that first there
was Nothing?
Yes and No. Nothing existed in the form of potentiality. Nothing both
not existed and did exist, simultaneously. To explain this concept
necessitates a brief foray into Quantum Physics.
Everything in the Universe is made up of molecules and atoms. The atoms
are made of sub-atomic particles (photons, neutrons and electrons
mainly) - called Quanta. Quanta are magical little things. They're
capable of acrobatics like teleporting ... invisibility ...
independence of spacetime ... duplicity (ability to be in several
places at once) ... and lots of other thought provoking behavior.
Everything you see is made of Quanta.
For this article, I'd like to draw your attention to the basic Quanta
property of wave/particle.
'Wave' basically means it doesn't exist, but potentially does.
'Particle' means what was previously a wave now does exist in
spacetime. This only happens when the wave is observed consciously.
Pretty neat!
Some have voiced the opinion that my interpretation of the famous double-slit experiment is flawed. They say that the quanta is measured, not observed by consciousness. According to Schrodinger's cat experiment, a measurement does not exist independent of the observer.
And that, my friends, is how Creation could have happened.
Please be aware that this is the same as how God always existed and
created the Universe. It's just different terminology.

Kabbalah actually has an accurate creation story imho.. But the Holy Blessed One as they refer to the Primeval Light/God is Not Blessed nor is he Holy :)
