>>14393138If God (whatever you want to call the creative impetus for reality) precedes creation then the primeval state of divinity is necessarily formless infinite potentiality (no-thing) - as manifestation produces a totality which thereby implies limitation (which would be antithetical to divinity).
This is why the Gnostics delineate between a highest God (Monad), existing in a state of pure unmanifest abstraction, and the Demiurge - which created the material realm (our reality).
