The foundation of all foundations, and the pillar of all wisdom, is to know that there is a First Existence, who brings all existences into being; that all existences of heaven and earth and between them, derive existence only from the truth of His existence

G‑d is found at two poles of Time:
He is found outside time and beyond.
And He is found here within the moment now.
From that point beyond time, G‑d looks within the moment now, and He says, “From this, I will have delight.”
With that choice, all of past and future is created anew.
