MAN ADAM

Adam is the name of the first man. But Adam is not one man. He represents the whole of the human race, mankind, summed up in an individual man-concept.

Adam came forth from God as Spirit. He is not a simple creation; he is a manifestation of God. This is why he contains all the Powers, all the Divine Capabilities, All-Knowledge, inner Harmony, as well as Harmony in dependence on the whole Universe.

Adam is an all-powerful Spirit who possesses all the prerequisites for his development, his Perfecting. This Spirit is divided into two and is manifested through two different external forms: the male and the female. His two-hypostases manifestation generates, for the first time, the dyad, and the attraction and the mutual complementation of opposites.  (…)

The Spiritual dyad is blessed by God. It can be manifested as God. The Initial Spirit has the ability to be split into others without losing in Powers and Divinity, but conveying these intact to Its Spiritual manifestations. "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply ..." (Gen. 1:28). It is, however, necessary for the Spiritual dyad to live through the Unity of God, in accordance with His Will. The Blessing which God gave them imposes the inner Unity of all Spiritual hypostases. God is Union, and His every movement serves this. When Adam the two-hypostases (Adam - Eve) questions and detaches himself from Union, wishing to differentiate his self, then he falsifies and distorts the Blessing of God. Adam and Eve refuse to act as a Monad. They each desire to have their own individuality. As a consequence of this, the human race lives in an unsuitable climate, serves division, and is transformed, in spite of the fact that within it, it bears Divine Elements, into monads which refuse to unite.

These monads have formed within them the Adamic consciousness. This is the consciousness of the fall. The consciousness which distinguishes another power besides God and accepts the ideas of Good and Evil, or God and non-God. (...)

Adam in the initial Creation was close to God. God provided him with inspiration and knowledge. His mind, raised up by the Divine Light, which he received without interruption, was harmonised, identified with the Divine Mind. 'Two' had no meaning for him. It was for him a different manifestation of 'one'. Everywhere around him he saw God. His thoughts depicted His thoughts, his hypostasis the Infinite Divine Hypostasis. Adam was a Divine reflection, up to the point when, of his own accord, he wished to escape from his own existence. Thus he allowed the microbe of the 'ego' to enter into him. He replaced the Divine Mind with the intellect, he limited his Spirit with his soul, and preferred experiential to spiritual knowledge, his material body to his Spiritual hypostasis. In this way he fell, dragging with him humanity, which existed in him, bequeathing to it also the creations of his error.

From then on, the Man of Heaven and of the Infinite becomes the man of the earth. The Adamic consciousness and its consequences (soul - intellect - body) bind him to the earth. The Heavenly places, where he was before, he cannot now enter. Because the Heavenly places were within him and in their place he has put the earth. (...)

Man, however, is content to deny his responsibilities and to remain untroubled by problems. Everything that happens in his life wishes to teach him, to show him his error. To help him to disengage himself from his Adamic consciousness and be led and enlightened by his Spirit, which is the only thing which can direct him, because it is his True Hypostasis and knows his True Origin and the road which leads to Ιt. (...)

The Adam of the fall, in order to return to the Father, must be united with Christ. The God-Man Jesus is the Last Adam, who will change man into God. "And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit" (I Cor. 15:45). (...)

There are only two roads for man: that of Adam and that of Christ. As soon as he leaves the one, he will follow the other. Even if he thinks that he is in a state of suspension, it is certain that he is walking on one of the two. The Lord knows this, just as He knows the Spirit of every man as well. He also knows that the end of every human course is the return to the Father. Because all things return to their Source and it is there, sooner or later, that man will be led. (...)
