Tahiro
O/C 210x210 cm
The beginning of the process of creation is in the reduction of the divine light, or the retreat of the divine presence out of a round space, which has become the place of creating worlds; Yet inside this space, called “Tahiro” remains a remnant of the divine light, this remnant called “Rashimo” will be used as the matter for the creation of the worlds, to be created in later processes.
It would appear to be the process of creating or ennobling of a human form out of matter into a round space destined for this purpose.
When God wanted to create the world, the start of creation wasn’t started by anything but man and made a “Golem” out of him. He wanted to give him a soul. He said, if I let him stand now, it will be said he helped me in the process of genesis. So I’ll make a “Golem” out of him until all is created […] and when all was created […] stood him up and contained the world in him.
