As Hashem engaged in the act of Creation he actualized his character (ספירות) until only one aspect remained. The final trait was the creation of the ability to receive the revelation of Hashem. This trait has nothing of its own, it is only a receptacle.
Revelation can only occur when there is something to which to be revealed. "There cannot be a king if there is no nation." Even one who has monarchical traits will not be called a monarch as long as there is no one proclaiming him king over them. לעת נעשה בחפצו כל, אזי מלך שמו נקרא
The main act of creation was the forming of receptacles - the creation of those who would willingly accept His monarchy over them, in the absence of having anything of their own. They would have no understanding or intellectualization, no opinions or feelings, but be completely bare and ready to bask in the light of Emunah.
