The whole of reality is contained in Ein Sof and extends existence from existence. Only the will to receive is new and extends existence from absence (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, Inner Observation, Chapter 4, Item 18).

Question: How can the will to receive appear from absence?

Answer: Naturally nothing can come from absence. It is just that a desire arises from a higher degree called the Creator who determines the whole development of creation.

Therefore, at first a desire appeared from absence. In the process of its development, it reaches ten Sefirot, worlds, and all kinds of connections between them. This continues until one general large picture is obtained.
