"And the Lord
God
said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him
an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:18)
<1>God
does not say that it is not good for man to be lonely but He says
"alone" ("all-one"). <2>So far man is still both
male and
female in the same
being.
God decided to separate
Adam into man and
woman.
"And out of the ground the Lord
God formed every beast
of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto
Adam
to see what he would call them: and whatsoever
Adam
called every living creature, that was the name thereof." (Genesis
2:19)
<3>God
also would make bodies for the animals. He would make their bodies
from the ground (the
cosmic dust or
Atom). For the first
time the
concepts and names
of things would be created by man. <4>God
does not call by name the things He would create but He relates to
them as the purpose for which they were made.
<5>It is man who gives names to things and
then becomes attached to the power of the names that he himself
created. This is one of man's greatest illusions, and until he
overcomes it, he will stay in the illusion of the power of words.
<6>Man should look at things from the point of view of the
Daharma
(nature) of everything, for what each thing or being was made.
<7>Also, we understand from this verse that
God Himself does not
have any name.
<8>That is why He has been called the "God
of
Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob." When Moses asked Him, "Behold, when I come unto the
children of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The
God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to
me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?
<9>And
God said unto Moses,
'I AM THAT
I AM:...'" (Exodus
3:13-14).
<10>Only later on, because people insisted on having a
God with a name, does He
call Himself Y'weh, which is a corrupt pronunciation of a power word
(mantra) that in its true form cannot be pronounced in the material
world.
<11>It is a subtle word (fire word or power word) as His
Sacred Name.
"And
Adam gave names to all
cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;
but for
Adam there was not
found an help meet for him." (Genesis 2:20)
<12>Man would create a name for everything.
<13>Yet still he was complete and one in nature --
male
and female. There was
no creature on earth that man could relate to as his mate, because
he was superior to animals and no one was on the same level of
consciousness to relate to him.
"And the Lord
God
caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up
the flesh instead thereof;" (Genesis 2:21)
"And the rib, which the Lord
God had taken from man,
made he a
woman, and brought her
unto the man." (Genesis 2:22)
<14>Female
principle (Grace) and
male principle (Logic)
were divided.
<15>From these principles
God created man and woman.
"And
Adam said, This is now
bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was
taken out of Man." (Genesis 2:23)
<16>So man and woman are two parts of the
same being and will be perfect when they merge as one again
(androgynous).
