The Ein Sof, being strictly unnamable, is not perfectly contiguous with HaShem (having a name) since the Sefirot are attributed to HaShem yet not to the Ein Sof. That’s the ambiguity of Kabalah.

Funny. You use the word "contiguous" in reference to Ein Sof, in the same breath as "unnamable"? Ontologically speaking, "contiguous" is about 7 levels below a name. Isn't Ein Sof [Infinite] beyond the concept of "contiguous"?

I’m guessing that’s a minority analysis, since the basic unifying principal of Judaism is the Shema which is about the unity of G-d (and one of the major points of the Tanya is that everything is G-d).
Can you attribute your understanding to any leading rabbis, past or present?
