Actually, the origin of the story is from 19th-century French magus Eliphas Levi.

This arrived: Jakob Böhme, ‘Alle Theosophischen Werken’, 1682. Böhme developed a unique vision of creation, the divine, and the concept of the Ungrund, the absolute indescribable origin of everything. The Ungrund is neither being nor non-being, existing before time and space. From it, God is born.
