Yeah, it’s the one I figured most people would have seen before, but you could also say “pleroma” from the gnostic/Christian tradition, or “godhead” as a more general term common to the abrahamic faiths, basically that aspect of the divine which is by definition ungraspable by us.
These terms and ideas long predate the kabbalah (approx. 600ad), though they are certainly meditated on in there. I picked the term because it is relatively well known and succinctly expresses the idea
What is your foundation?
Both really, the foundation that allows you to discern valid ideas from invalid ones. I feel like if you attempted to understand what ein sof means here you’d have no issue with the term. Do you have an issue with the terms “erotic” or “hermetically sealed”? Those are derived from Greek gods (Eros and Hermes)
