Ain Soph

In KABBALAH, the infinite or limitless. It is the unmanifested state of being prior to Kether or the first sephira of the Tree of Life. It is equivalent to the First Logos in the writings of Helena P. BLAVATSKY or the unmanifested Brahman in Hinduism. Ain Soph is one of the three states prior to manifestation. The first is Ain or nothingness; the next is Ain Soph, the limitless; followed by Ain Soph Aur, or the limitless light. See KABBALAH.
