Imperfection in Deity

More perusing of Fuller's book The Secret Wisdom of the Qaballah has thrown up the following quote:

This strange story is both obscure and perplexing, because it is difficult to attribute imperfection to God. But to the Qabalist it is otherwise, for the No-Thing evolves into the Some-Thing, the Who; and necessity creeps in, for necessity is impossible without a choice, and choice demands the existence of opposing forces, the male and the female, or the positive and the negative.


Something to think on. The Qaballah redefines the state of things and the reaction to this is often violent, as no one wants their schemas to be broken, for when this happens the mind reaches and does not find. The effect is that of leaning the foot down, expecting the next step on the stairs and finding nothing, only to have to grope about for a new connection/solution (ie grabbing the railing) to save oneself.
