Before anything
"Before anything emanated, there was only Ein Sof [Boundless, Infinite (Divine)] . Ein Sof was all that existed. Similarly, after it brought into being that which exists, there is nothing but it. You cannot find anything that exists apart from it. There is nothing that is not pervaded by the power of divinity. If there were, Ein Sof would be limited, subject to duality. G-d forbid! Rather, G-d is everything that exists, though everything that exists is not G-d. It is present in everything, and everything comes into being from it. Nothing is devoid of its divinity. Everything is within it; it is within everything and outside of everything. There is nothing but it."
Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (RaMaK
