Due to a lack of logical thinking, many of the ideas from ancient times are assumed under biased interpretations, often influenced by exoteric religion and its idols. That led many to say the human being is made in the image of a Supremely perfect God. We may then ask as a certain deformed hunchback, who upon hearing such an idea stood up and said: And what the hell did He make with me, an experiment or what?
To this day, many still do not distinguish between the Infinite Essence, its Principle of Manifestation or Primordial Mind and the Image or logical Form of that Divine Mind full of Wisdom, that is, its structure of Consciousness, Word and Action. Something that was distinguished in the past:
Before He [Supreme Being] gave any form to the world, before He produced any form, He was alone, formless and resembling nothing imaginable. Who then can understand what He was before the Creation? Hence it is forbidden to attribute any form or likeness to Him...But after creating the FORM of HEAVENLY MAN, He used him as a vehicle to descend, and wishes to be called by his form, which is the holy Name YHVH (Zohar, Part 2 from Bo 42b).
That is to say, that the Supreme Being is unmanifested and does not even have a Form, but he does have a Personality known in the Zohar as Adam Illah or Man from Above and Adam Elyon. In the Middle Ages Kabbalists began to call him Adam Kadmon. And He can manifest with a Form or Body, where there are several degrees of manifestation:
The Ancient of Days has three heads. He expresses himself in three archetypes, which form one. He is thus symbolized by the number three. They manifest themselves to each other: first the secret and hidden Wisdom (Hochmah Nishtar); above, the Holy Ancient; and above is the Unknowable One. Nobody knows what it contains; it is above all conception. Therefore he is called 'non-existent' [Ayin]' (Zohar, III. 288b).
This is what in Hebrew was called Partzufim or Personalities. And the idea/image of an Ancient of Days is found in Daniel 7, where he appears in relation to a Son of Man or Ben Adam who sits on his throne. But whose son was Adam? Of fallen Adam? Was there another Adam?
In Ezekiel 1:26 the prophet's vision also speaks of a throne on which he saw a figure resembling Adam Elyon.
How then should these personalities be interpreted? If we are simple, we can reason that they are personal functions of the same Absolute Being, just as any Person can be a Grandfather, Father and Son at the same time, in addition to something that is beyond those functions. That is to say, I am my Essence and my functional Personality: son, worker, caregiver, lover...
Do you see the difference? Well, in this case that Essence is a Fullness/Whole known in Hebrew Wisdom as Without Limits or Ayn Sof. Strangely, in metaphysical terms it is known as Not Being, especially since Plato and the Neoplatonists. But Not Being was and is a controversial expression, since grandfather Parmenides, father of Ontology and Logic, clearly said that:
Being is and there is no non-being.
Therefore, what many call Not Being is actually the pure Act of Being, an unmanifested state. However, the Being is also called the Principle of Manifestation, that force or potential that makes things be. Why do things exist and not absolute Nothingness? By the inner dynamism or potential of Being, just as a seed blossoms from within in fertile soil.
That Non-Being is also glimpsed in the Torah, due to the same sense of absence (ayn) of that Divine Essence, which is not mentioned in the Scripture directly, but only through the so-called Sacred Name, YHVH and its existential forces (Elohim) , which allude to the astral Forces that generate things and that point to or reveal the invisible Being Without Limits, because nothing is for nothing. Where did those forces come from?
So, in principle, the Divine Essence in its pure state is indescribable. However, it contains a potential for manifestation. And we call that properly Being, which has a form, a structure that was formerly compared to a Celestial Man:
But after creating the FORM of HEAVENLY MAN, he used him as a vehicle to descend, and wishes to be called by his form, which is the holy Name YHVH (Zohar, Part 2 of Bo 42b)
See that one thing is the Celestial Man, the Father Grandfather or Ancient of Days (Atik Yomim) and another is his Great Face (Arik Anpin) and Small Face (Zeir Anpin), which are the Form of manifestation that makes him known.
In the drawing above you can see Atik Yomim in the Cornilla (Keter) of the Head, and Arik Anpin in the forehead, the Frontal Lobe. What does this remind us of? No one has seen God; the only begotten god who dwells in the bosom of the Father has made him known (John 1:19)
Let there then be in you this feeling that was also in the Anointed Iesou (Christos Iesous), who, being in the Form of God, did not esteem being equal to God as something to cling to, 7 but emptied himself , taking the form of a servant, made in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5)
Now, it turns out that Ser in Greek is Einai, and has the same gematric value as Christos (Anointed), Ahaba (Hebrew Love) and Echad (Hebrew Oneness), which are the qualities of YHVH. Isn't that too much of a coincidence? Remember the three heads of the Ancient One? Where do you see the Messiah? What is your function?
I and the Father are one (John 10:30-33)
he who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:9)
the head of every man is the Anointed One of Light, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of the Anointed One of Light is God (1 Corinthians 11:3)
for the called ones, both Jews and Greeks, the Anointed One of Light is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness (moron) of God is wiser than men, and the weakness (asthenes) of God is stronger than men (1 Corinthians 1:24)
But what does God call? If we call Ayn Sof God, we are already limiting it. Therefore he is the Ancient One, his first Intelligence or originating Logos of him, which is like a radiance. This is how Paul himself explained it: …the Messiah, who is the likeness of God [Ancient of Days] (2 Cor. 4:4)
[the Son] who is the brightness of his glory, and the Image of his Being… (Heb. 1:3)
[his Son from him] who is the image of the invisible God; the Firstborn (Prototokos). For in Him were created (ektisthe) all things, that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible; be thrones, be dominions, be principalities, be powers; everything was created through him and for him. And He is before all things, and all things are in Him (Colossians 1:15)
So the Messiah is the Image/Manifestation, the Wisdom and Strength/Will of the Cosmic Mind, of the Ancient of Days. While the Ayn Sof would be the One Being that unifies them. For something it was said:
In the origin was the Logos, and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God...and the Logos became flesh (John 1).
Joseph Smith, father of Mormonism, went so far as to say that the Messiah, Jesus, was the son of the Ancient Primordial Adam, who in turn was a God, but not the Supreme God. And that lesser God or Elder Adam was Michael, Chief of the Angels. Interesting, right? Although many of us know what consequences many of these speculations led to. Another stagnant religion.
In the Image of the Logos?
But in whose image are we humans made? In the image of the Ancient or first blaze of Light, of her Wisdom, or of a fallen Adam? This was also an old question, but the interpreters did not always hit the nail on the head, since the Ancient of Days was identified with the God or Elohim of the Book of Genesis, and as we will see that is not possible. The first to associate the Logos with the Creator of the Hebrew Genesis was Philo of Alexandria (20 BC-50 AD).
And he also called him Heavenly Man. Now, the image of God is the Word (Logos), by which the whole world was made. (Special Laws I, 81)
Why does he speak as another god, saying that he made man in the image of God, and not that he made him in his image? (Gen. 9:6).
Very appropriately and without any falsehood was this oracular sentence pronounced by God, because no mortal thing could have been formed in the likeness of the Supreme Father of the Universe, but only after the model of the second deity, who is the Word (Logos) of the Supreme Being ; since it is convenient that the rational soul of man bears in it the type of the divine Word (Logos); since in his first Word (Logos) God is superior to the most rational nature possible. But he that is superior to the Word (Logos) ranks him in a better and more singular pre-eminence, and how could the creature exhibit a likeness of him in himself? (Filon of Alexandria Q & A in Gen. II 62)
Below I leave more quotes from Philo. But for now we already know where the author of the Gospel of John was able to get the idea of the Logos as a generating principle, an idea that was also present in the Aramaic Targums, or the popular readings of the Torah: And the Word (Memra) of YHVH created man in his likeness, in the likeness of YHVH, YHVH created him, male and female he created them (Targum of Yonatan, Genesis 1:27)
So even in the Judaic tradition itself it is said that neither the Ayn Sof nor the Elder created the universe directly, but through his second emanation, the Logos/Memra.
Something that is read even in deep interpretations of the first word:
Bereshyt =
1)In the Origin/Beginning/Principle
2) in the Head (Beyt Rosh)
3) with Wisdom/Principle (Reshyt)
4) created six (bara shyt)/Sefirot /Zeir Anpin
5) two beginnings (Beyt reshyt), i.e, Father & Son
bara Elohim= created Elohim, the heavens and the earth, which was without form and void (Genesis 1)
And from that state of emptiness and disorder, the creation passes into the hands of Elohim, whose gematric value is 86, like that of HaTevah, Nature and his astral powers.
The ruach or spirit of Elohim hovered over the face of the waters.
This no longer speaks of the direct Word, but of forces of Nature, the stars, which are like the limbs of the Son, not his spirit.
And this idea of Elohim is very reminiscent of the vision of the Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza, who tried to make sense of that God of Genesis by speaking of an Infinite Substance that underlies everything. And she would be Deus sive Natura, God as Nature, which is Natura Naturans or Nature Naturante, generator, and Natura Naturata, the objects of Nature.
But thus Spinoza fell into the error of pantheism, since the Unlimited cannot be limited or reduced even to a substance. That is already an attribute, the quality of "something". The Supreme Being cannot be reduced to a substance. In any case, the substance would make up his body. Let us say that the Logos or Word of the Ancient One began to generate a collective body of manifestation, in which the spirits of the stars and souls of the planets (Elohim) are included; what was formerly known as Spiritus Mundi and Anima Mundi.
In addition, he did not create them from nothing, but he gestated and raised them, since such is the meaning of the verb bara. But a part of Elohim fell, and so the whole earth became formless and empty. This was the fall of the Kings of Edom who ruled before Israel (Genesis 36).
Later the incarnation of the Israelites was prepared as Ibdy, Servants of YaH, Abba/Father and Imma/Mother. Ibdy is a word that curiously also has gematria 86. And his task was to govern the spirits and souls of the stars.
But a part of the Israelites fell deceived by the Orion religion, the worship of the Golden Calf.
Only the expression as the body of Logos/Memra/Mashiach can unite spiritual Israel, which today lies asleep in all corners of the earth, even professing foreign religions. This explains the codification of the name Yeshua in Genesis 1, as I have already shown in his day.
There were also other angelic elohim who incarnated to help, and became nephilim, fallen.
That is why in Psalm 82 it was written: you are elohim but you die as humans.
So being elohim does not mean that one is a perfect god. That is why the Master Yeshua told the Pharisees: is it not written in your Torah: you are gods (elohim)? Why do you condemn me by saying that I am a son of God? Yet they were scandalized by Him because He claimed to be the Son of Man, i.e, Son of Primordial Adam, his Image, the incarnated Logos. And so many of us think. He was really the Canon, the universal Pattern: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Therefore, whoever does not conform to his way of being cannot be more than a son of the fallen Elohim, a son of the First Adam created on the planets, whose body of Light came to be mixed with reptilian genetics. He was only a type of Messiah, as Paul pointed out. That is the reason why the Master ordered us to go to the Father in Heaven. He was referring to Himself, since our new Adamic nature is engendered by the Perfect Image, the Archetype and also the realized Prototype. In Him we constitute ourselves as New Adam. Understanding this is Salvation from all the misery and lies in which the unfortunate human is immersed. Yeshua said:
I praise you, Father, Master of heaven and earth, because you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to children. 26 Yes, Father, because it was to your liking that way. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Matthew 11:25-30)
