I don't pretend to understand it in the least. It's set out in the "Tanya", which is available in a bilingual (Hebrew/English) version from Lubavitch organizations. In particular one of the appendices to the bilingual version is a description of the creation process, written by Rabbi J. Immanuel Shochet in language which lay people can (almost) understand (if one works hard enough at it). Dave Sherman Toronto -- {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
