The presented text contains an introduction, translation and commentary on the stages of the manifestation of the deity and the pleromatic emanation presented in the Ocarot chajim (Treasures of Life) treatise by rabbi Chajim Vital, a disciple of Isaac Luria. This work is the most systematic display of Lurianic metaphysics. In the introduction, the author situates the position of the treaty in the broader context of Lurianic literature. Then he discusses the diff erences and similarities between the ancient Hebrew concept of prophetic spirit transmission, and the Gnostic, Platonic and Neoplatonic understanding of the process of emanation. The translated source text and commentary analyze the act of self-contraction of infi nity and the emergence of a plerome as given in the form of a dialectical game of linear and circular sefi rots until the final emergence of megaanthropos – Adam Qadmon.

This paper presents Thomas Aquinas’ concept of creation as a metaphysical theory of the origin of being. The concept of creation was investigated mostly as a theological problem but in Aquinas’ thought (also when it is used in the theological context of his works) it is understood as a metaphysical explanation of existence and plurality of contingent beings. Creation is a way of explanation how the First Cause acts and how this action results in the existence of numerous accidental beings. Creation is not a natural transformation or a production of something on the basis of the previous elements. It is a “production” in being (productio in esse) with no previous conditions (creatio ex nihilo). The formal end of the creative action is the act of existence (ipsum esse) of accidental beings. The creation of accidental beings generates mutual relations of the Creator and the cre-ated beings.
