The “place of life” takes a bit of explaining. Before the creation there was nothing but God. There was no place to contain him, since there is nothing bigger than God. When he created, he opened a void within himself in which to place all of the heavens and the earth. (The earth was void…) This is where it gets fun. In [[שמים]] heaven is the [[ש]]Spirit, [[מ]] is the Father, and [[ם]]is the Son. See the yud [[י ]] in there? It’s not required to make the word heaven but it represents the first speck of the void created. It contains everything that was made. We are made of tiny voids within God. We are made of nothing.
