26, after Adam, the first androgyne, after Adam Kadmon, the sexless (the first) Logos, Adam and Eve once separated, come finally Jehovah-Eve and Cain-Jehovah.
These represent distinct Root-Races, for millions of years elapsed between them.
Hence the Aryan and the Semitic Theo-anthropographies are two leaves on the same stem; their respective personifications and symbolic personages standing in relation to each other in this way.
I.
The Unknowable, referred to in various ways in Rig Vedic verse, such as " Nought Was," called, later on "Parabrahm;" the ( Ain, nothing, or the "Ain-Soph" of the Kabalists), and again, the "Spirit" (of God) that moves upon the face of the waters, in Genesis.
All these are identical.
Moreover, in Genesis, ch.
i., v.
2, is placed as verse 1 in the secret Kabalistic texts, where it is followed by the Elohim "creating the Heaven and the Earth." This deliberate shifting of the order of the verses was necessary for monotheistic and Kabalistic purposes.
Jeremiah's curse against those Elohim (gods) who have not created the Heavens and the Earth, ch.
x., v.
11, shows that there were other Elohim who had.
II.
The "Heavenly" Manu-Swayambhuva, who sprang from Swayambhu-Narayana, the "Self-existent," and Adam Kadmon of the Kabalists, and the androgyne MAN of Genesis ch.
1 are also identical.
III.
Manu-swayambhuva is Brahma, or the Logos; and he is Adam Kadmon, who in Genesis iv., 5, separates himself into two halves, male and female, thus becoming Jah-Hovah or Jehovah-Eve; as Manu Swayambhuva or Brahma separates himself to become "Brahma-Viraj and Vach-Viraj," male and female; all the rest of the texts and versions being blinds.
IV.
Vach is the daughter of Brahma and is named Sata-Rupa, "the hundred-formed," and Savitri, " generatrix, " the mother of the gods and of all living.
She is identical with Eve, "the mother (of all the lords or gods or) of all living." Besides this there are many other occult meanings.
What is written in " Isis, " although scattered about and very cautiously expressed at the time, is correct: Explaining esoterically Ezekiel's wheel,* it is said of Jodhevah or Jehovah: - "When the ternary is taken in the beginning of the Tetragram, it expresses the divine creation spiritually, without any carnal sin; taken at its opposite end it expresses the latter: it is feminine.
The name of Eva is composed of three letters, that of the primitive or heavenly [[Footnote(s)]] ------------------------------------------------- * " Isis Unveiled ," Vol.

Adam, is written with one letter, Jod or Yodh; therefore it must not be read Jehovah but Ieva, or Eve.
The Adam of the first chapter is the spiritual, therefore pure, androgyne Adam Kadmon.
When woman issues from the rib of the second Adam (of dust), the pure Virgo is separated, and falling "into generation," or the downward cycle, becomes Scorpio, emblem of sin and matter.
While the ascending cycle points to the purely spiritual races, or the ten prediluvian patriarchs, the Prajapatis and Sephiroth are led on by the creative Deity itself, who is Adam Kadmon or Yod-cheva.
Spiritually, the lower one (Jehovah) is that of the terrestrial races, led on by Enoch or Libra, the seventh; who, because he is half-divine, half-terrestrial, is said to have been taken by God alive.
Enoch, Hermes, and Libra, are one." This is only one of the several meanings.
No need to remind the scholar that Scorpio is the astrological sign of the organs of reproduction.
Like the Indian Rishis, the Patriarchs are all convertible in their numbers, as well as interchangeable.
According to the subject to which they relate they become ten, twelve, seven or five, and even fourteen, and they have the same esoteric meaning as the Manus or Rishis.
Moreover, Jehovah, as may be shown, has a variety of etymologies, but only those are true which are found in the Kabala.
( Ieve ) is the Old Testament term, and was pronounced Ya- va .
Inman suggests that it is contracted from the two words Yaho-Iah, Jaho-Jah, or Jaho is Jah.
Punctuated it is which is, however, a Rabbinical caprice to associate it with the name Adoni or , which has the same points.
It is curious, and indeed hardly conceivable, that the Jews anciently read the name ( Adoni ) , when they had so many names of which Jeho and Jah and Iah constituted a part.
But so it was; and Philo Byblus, who gives us the so-called fragment of Sanchoniathon, spelt it in Greek letters [[ IEUO ]], Javo or Jevo.
Theodoret says that the Samaritans pronounced Yahva, and the Jews Yaho.
Prof .
Gibbs, however, suggests its punctuation thus: ( Ye-hou-vih ); and he cut the Gordian knot of its true occult meaning.
For in this last form, as a Hebrew verb, it means "he will -- be."* It was also derived from the Chaldaic verb or eue ( eva ) or eua ( Eva ) "to be." And so it was, since from Enosh, the "Son of Man," only, were the truly human races to begin and "to be," as males and females.
This statement receives further corroboration, inasmuch as Parkhurst makes the verb to mean: (1) "To [[Footnote(s)]] ------------------------------------------------- * See for comparison Hosea, xii.
6, where it is so punctuated.

fall down" ( i.e.
into generation or matter); and (2) " To be, to continue " -- as a Race.
The aspirate of the word eua ( Eva ) "to be" being Heve ( Eve ) , which is the feminine of and the same as Hebe, the Grecian goddess of youth and the Olympian bride of Heracles, makes the name Jehovah appear still more clearly in its primitive double-sexed form.
Finding in Sanskrit such syllables as Jah and Yah, e.g., Jah ( navi ) "Ganges" and Jagan-natha, "Lord of the World," it becomes clear why Mr.
The Hermetic axiom that the structure of the cosmos is reflected at every scale — 'as above, so below; as within, so without' — making each level a legible map of the others.
The passage's primary method is establishing cross-traditional identity: the Unknowable in Rig Vedic, Genesis, and Kabbalah are 'identical'; Manu-Swayambhuva, Adam Kadmon, and the androgyne MAN are 'also identical'; Vach is 'identical with Eve' — making each level a legible map of the others.
Narratives or doctrines of cosmic origin — how heaven, earth, and the primordial deities first came into being. The Kojiki's deities born alone on the Plain of High Heaven, Voluspo's Ginnungagap, Genesis's tohu wa-bohu, the Timaeus's Demiurge fashioning the Receptacle, the Hesiodic Theogony, the Kalevala's egg-cosmogony, Egyptian Nun-and-Atum. Distinct from emanation_hierarchy (structural-ontological cascade), letters_of_creation (mechanism of creation), and apocatastasis/frashokereti (end-state restoration); cosmogony is temporally-narrative beginning.
The passage narrates the origin of the cosmos: from the Unknowable, the Spirit moves upon the waters, the androgyne separates into male and female, and successive Root-Races emerge over millions of years.
A chain of divine beings or principles flowing downward from a single transcendent source (the One or the Father), each level less perfect than the one above.
The passage traces a clear cascading chain from the Unknowable/Parabrahm through Adam Kadmon/Logos, through the male-female separation, down through successive Root-Races over millions of years.
The Hermetic doctrine that a masculine-feminine generative principle operates on every plane of being, not only the biological — present at all times as a structural feature of creation itself. Distinct from divine_marriage (a specific reunification event or symbol) and aeons (paired divine beings arranged in syzygies, not a universal structural claim).
The passage is centrally about the masculine-feminine generative principle operating at the highest cosmic level: the androgyne's sexlessness, its separation into male and female halves, Vach as the feminine generatrix, and the 'primitive double-sexed form' of the divine name.
The twenty-two Hebrew letters as the building blocks through which God creates and sustains all existence.
The passage extensively analyzes the Hebrew letters composing the Tetragrammaton and the name of Eve, arguing that Adam is written with one letter (Yodh) and Eve with three, making the letters the building blocks through which divine identity is expressed.
The divine reason, word, or ordering principle through which the universe was created; mediates between the transcendent God and the material world.
Adam Kadmon is explicitly called 'the first Logos' and Manu-Swayambhuva is identified as 'Brahma, or the Logos' — the mediating ordering principle through which creation unfolds.
Divine names or formulas that carry ontological power, used in prayer, liturgy, or magical practice.
The passage extensively analyzes the divine name Jehovah/Tetragrammaton, its etymology, pronunciation, and esoteric meaning ('he will be'), treating the name as carrying ontological and cosmogonic significance.
The ten attributes or emanations through which the Ein Sof (Infinite) reveals itself and creates the universe in Kabbalistic theology.
The Sephiroth are explicitly named alongside the Prajapatis as being 'led on by the creative Deity itself,' and the entire Kabalistic framework of the Tetragrammaton and divine names is central to the passage.
