No. In authentic Kabbalah, "nothingness" the "Ein" is not the beginning of the process at all.
There is no "beginning". I already told you that(at least more than once). It's like asking what came first, the chicken or the egg?(Don't answer that.).

I already gave you the answer in the simplest of terms.
And I probably disagreed with it. Much of what you say is flawed; I don't need/want such answers, and I believe I already have enough of the 'correct' answers that are important to me anyway. Your words "authentic Kabbalah" mean absolutely nothing to me; partly due the individual conveying such words. Who is Ziran? Nobody to me and as stated a "nobody" whose writing is "flawed". It would probably take me weeks to go through all of your verbose essays quoting and replying to errors and inaccuracies.

In a later post you actually adopted what I wrote, by placing "Ein/Ein-Soph" together as a partnership. Based on your writing and philosoply you probably meant: "Ein=Ein-Soph", but if you typed that, it would be obviously false.
I don't think it's time for the "Ein Soph" yet since you persist in misunderstanding the "Ein".

"Ein" - Nothingness is not the root, or at the core, of the authentic tree of life. It does not matter how much you desire to place the label of Kabbalah onto it, it's not true.
You continue in not understanding the "nothingness" of the Ein. I believe the primary reason this terminology is used is because the "Ein" is dimensionless, so, it is at least a 'spatial' "nothingness"; what remains of it is its 'limitless potential', and once you conceive of the latter it then becomes the "Ein Soph" - no limit of "nothing". You can't impose any kind of 'spatial infinity' upon it for obvious reasons.
Ein Soph is akin two facets of a single 'thing'. A "thing" that transcends space and reason; it is not "absolute nothingness", and I've also already said that too at least more than once, because nothing could ever come from it, unless of course in some bizarre existential reality where things could actually somehow emerge from "absolute nothingness".
In this context then, the type of "nothingness" I am referring could be labeled "Relative Nothingness" as an aid in distinguishing the perception of it.
Once you cross over the zero-dimensional threshold of space you are in a whole different reality where the same universal laws and rationale do not apply; I'm not convinced you're grasping this concept as of yet.
Also, you are using some strong vocabulary here regarding my feelings such as "desire", et cetera(more troll behavior). Look kid, the passion here is yours not mine. In general, this whole model here has been a done deal for a while now before you showed up on the block, and I don't really care for you or anything you've been saying thus far.
Your posts are mostly long incoherent irrelevant ramblings so even if there is anything of value to be gleaned it likely becomes lost in all of and the continuing erroneous clutter.
I will admit though, there may be some fine tuning(or evolution) of terminology on my part here to drive some of these ideas through your thick "authentic Kabbalistic" scull - currently to no avail it would seem.
I suppose also the "Ein Soph" made its appearance due the never-ending longevity of the "Ein"; it's tantamount to going on and on about the Yin without referencing the Yang.
Now go ahead with your troll "passion" and deliberately counter, possibly/naturally fail to comprehend, or some combination of the two so that this game of bullshit can continue - quite the "passion" in replying to everything I say.
Seriously, the thought of you believing everything you say is unfathomable - troll.
