From the Zohar lll, 290a; Idra Zuta
Father and Mother, Son and Daughter is how Tishby titles chapter 16. Vol 1 on the section, "Godhead." Idra Zuta is the book of Zohar from which it is quoted.
".....
In the aggadah of the school of Rav Yev Sava it is taught: [the first two letters of Y-H-V-H, footnote 350] she becomes pregnant and produces a son, [351 Tiferet of the Tree of Life] and gives birth, and so she is called Binah, [352 Yod, He, + ben (son) make the word Binah. Bynah (y=i, a=e in Hebrew)] son and yod, he: they are joined together and the son in with them. The perfection exists in the way they are arranged; it's all-inclusive: father and mother, son and daughter.
In other words, YHVH is Father(Y), mother(H), son(V), daughter(h).
If anyone wants to divide Hashem into a family of pseudo-gods and if others believe they are merely aspects:
Whoever believes that they are aspects, that give birth and all that goes before and with that, show me this in the Bible and I will retract my claim regarding a pseudo-goddess in the Zohar.
But you can not do that, I already know. God is one, not 2 or 4 or 7 or 10. Not male or female even.
This is full blown polytheism disguised as monotheism with neo-platonic emanations representing different functions, not of God, just "aspects", but it is not an aspect of God at all, they are different functioning entities that they try and make all part of God and let him appear to remain one.
But it's just a more nonsensical version of the Trinity with more aspects and is more complex, even at times incoherent.
God is not father-mother-daughter-son, a "Quadrinity" in Monotheism. I use Quadrinity because that's what it is. They call it Hashem or the Tetragrammaton. Even non-Kabbalists call it that, Hashem, but they don't believe in the "Quadrinity©" of Kabbalah.
And people actually do admit that the Shekhina is a Goddess, in different ways by different people, Kabbalists.
At one time, the Zohar says, only Ayin or En, "nothing" existed, which created En Soph, "endless nothing" more or less describing the process of God coming into existence. It goes on. And on.
God has always existed as is and always will. He doesn't "evolve" and wasn't ever non-existent.
En Soph is an imitation of Zurvan or "Boundless time" of the Zend-Avesta (yes I own it too, all 3 vols.) of the Zoroastrians or Parsees, and of Para-Brahm of Hinduism.
Parsee is the source of "Pharisee" though you will find few who know or at least admit this and they have found a plausible etymology that makes it mean "seperatists" but that is a common ploy to deny the origin of a word. They changed the definition of the Bible of Israel, "wrestles with God" to something else and are able to pseudo-justify it and people who don't know better buy it. You will have to look up the fake definition I don't remember.
In Zurvanism like Kabbalah Zurvan became the Creator, so to speak, of God and Ahriman(Samael), was considered a heresy and unlike Kabbalah is extinct as a form of Zoroastrianism. As is the belief in Ahriman other than as symbolic.
