'adam: humankind (Hebrew) [from 'adam to be red, ruddy] Used in Genesis for man, original mankind; the Qabbalah enumerates four Adams. The Archetypal or Heavenly Man ('Adam Qadmon) is the prototype for the second, androgyne Adam. From these two emanates the third Adam, preterrestrial and innocent, though still further removed from the divine prototype Adam Qadmon. The fourth Adam is "the Third Adam as he was after the Fall," the terrestrial Adam of the Garden of Eden, our earthly sexual humanity (Qabbalah Myer 418). from the Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary religion: "of doubtful etymology, by Cicero connected with relegere to read over again. . . ." [OED] "as in Adam we all die" [1 Corinthians] three religions of Adam: Judaism, Christianity, Islam each the only correct doctrine; and the whole world heathen three religions of death live the good life thousands of years to have the yoke of Adam's religion lifted we don't want it back |
