From the side of the Creator, the potential action called thought is sufficient. For the Creator, the end of the action is already in the initial thought; that is, the uncorrected and corrected states of creation exist together and form a black point that is called creation.

Everything else is the development of this point and its awareness of itself, and from itself, awareness of the Creator in order to understand where it came from, who created and develops it.

It is like a movie unfolding inside this point. All of us, the entire universe, all the worlds, exist within it. The attitude of the Creator, of the upper light to it, is called the thought of creation.

Therefore, there is only one thought from which the entire universe emerged—the thought of creation. Within it, all our reward, efforts, and all the experiences along the path are already determined. From the side of the Creator, there is no other thought. But we, the created beings, can grasp it only when it separates from Him and begins to act independently.

Within this thought, other additional thoughts appear: the four phases, the Partzufim, the worlds. We study what, in practice, emerges from the black point, which contains in potential the entire thought of the Creator, the entire process originally embedded within it.
