Dear Harison & Colleagues opening space for the unknown; that exactly the way god created the universe.
And then, very soon, Adam & eve taught him that opening space, it's a risky thing if you dealing with human being... Since then we are trying to prevent this 'Nichtwissen' situation. But our passion & responsibility is to practice our 'god image'. According to the Jewish 'Kabala', god reduced (the word is:' Zimzoom') him self (so to say) in order to create the world; So, if we want to create, we must take the risk of reducing our self . Creativity is driven by 'Nichtwissen', and that the way, I believe, god expect us to behave. And that the great opportunity of opening space.
