Emanationism

Emanationism is a philosophical concept describing how the universe and everything in it originate from a single, ultimate source or divine being. Think of it like light radiating outward; the source remains steady, but its emanations create the diverse world around us. This process is continuous and unbroken, with the physical universe considered a flowing byproduct of the divine’s inner life. Emanationism emphasizes a spiritual connection between the divine and creation, suggesting everything is an extension or manifestation of this singular, transcendent origin.
