Ramchal begins his \u201csolution\u201d of the actual makeup of the Tzimtzum<\/em> by first tying it in to the Sephirot <\/em>which we\u2019d focused on at length above.<\/p>\n

He offers that the Sephirot<\/em> are what came forth from the mystical space that occurred at the time of the Tzimtzum<\/em> <\/strong>(Petach<\/em> 29). We\u2019ll discuss this \u201cspace\u201d later on; suffice it to say that it came into being after and as a consequence of the Tzimtzum<\/em>. In any event, this statement implies that without the Tzimtzum<\/em> neither the Sephirot<\/em> nor the universe they helped create and continue to govern could have existed outside of God\u2019s own Being <\/strong>(Petach<\/em> 24) which was the only existent until then.<\/p>\n
