If God Created the Universe, Then Who Created God? And Who Created the Creator of God?

First, who or what is the Creator? According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the Creator is the force of love and bestowal that created and sustains reality. Moreover, we reach this definition of the Creator through our own attainment of this force, i.e., by rising above our inborn egoistic nature and resembling the force of love and bestowal in our intention.

However, although we can attain the Creator, we cannot know or attain what gave birth to the Creator.

When we start attaining the Creator, then we start uniting with the Creator in an equal intention of love and bestowal. That is, since we reach the state of the Creator — of an intention to love and bestow above our inborn desire to receive — in the extent of equivalence with the Creator that we attain, we embark on a certain journey with Him accordingly. The Creator then takes us out of our current egoistic state to further distant places that are completely unknown to us in our current perception of reality. Kabbalists have named these subsequent attainments the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th millennia.

The state of our maximal connection with the Creator is called “6,000 years.” Then comes the Sabbath, the so-called “7th millennium,” where we are fully connected among each other with the revelation of the Creator: the force of love and bestowal that created such a state. Then, after our complete connection during the 7th millennium, we travel together with the Creator to an unknown place and transition to the next state.

Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) wrote about the 10th millennium, but for us it is completely incomprehensible and impossible to imagine because such a connection is completely beyond the grasp of our senses or analysis in the mind.
