Reply To: Not just another mashiach thread – looking for a source

AviraDeArah – Amazing!!!! Thank you so so much, that’s been bothering me for years, possibly decades! And your interpretation is ringing a bell as well. I knew there was a part about not contemplating what came before creation but I wasn’t able to figure out how to word it. I just kept picturing a cartoon where the characters get sucked into a black hole and then the cartoonist is there creating things and it’s some metaphor which is why I wondered if it was actually from a cartoon. Now I think I just saw that cartoon the same week I heard this and combined them in my distant memory. I actually grew up mostly Reform so I’m not sure where I even picked up something from the mishnah but so glad to know now!
