Definition: The Creator

The Creator is called the general Light that influences us as the general Law with the purpose to bring us to the equivalence of form with Him. The power of bestowal, the all-embracing attribute of bestowal that envelops the entire creation is called the Creator.
Why is it called like this? The connotation comes from the word Boreh (the Creator), which is composed of the two words: bo and reh (come and see), which is the state that everyone should reach to the degree when this force becomes visible to you, (“see”), to the degree of complete comprehension. “Bo”, the first part of the word implies that you should attain this state, this degree.
(Kabbalah LeMatchil, Article What Level Must the Man Reach, page 151 (from the lesson of Ay 9, 2006).
