These and less popular religious movements are applying to God as spiritual in the highest possible way. The Kabbalah assigns the term Ein-Sof, infinity in Hebrew, to the Universal Creator. But from here on Religion21 stands apart. The other religious movements build arbitrary stories about the behavior of this most spiritual God, where the source of these description is a special charge, revelation, flash of wisdom claimed by its leader. Religion21 says: we are in an unbound state of ignorance vis-a-vis the universal creator and custodian. The Kabbalah, and others claim a binary tag of war between good and evil, light and darkness, male and female. Claiming God uses this point-counter-point to create the world which keeps happening with us, people, being co-creators. May be, or may be not, says Religion21. Perhaps it is our distorted intuition that dictates to us the dichotomic set up. God, for all we know, may use a triangular setup, or a setup we are totally ignorant about. How dare we dictate to God His modus operandi? The Kabbalah talks about ten "sefirot," a Godly envelope of earth. Who counted?
Religion21 makes no demand on God to behave in a certain way, we say nothing beyond our firm belief in his existence, and in our one and only command, to find him by washing away the reams of ignorance in which we live
