11. "The name of this woman WNIEsha, is the
feminine element of cosmic fire, inasmuch as she
springs from Esh [tug] fire. Notice the spelling
of Eesh for man: pH]. Adam discovers this,
his new name. (The addition of Yod to the name
of fire indicates that this 'fire' comes into
existence in man). A remarkable feature of this
ideograms is that Esha does not really exist
although she is alive (she has no Yod but has the
Heh of Life). This fire, Esh, from which she
proceeds, has neither life nor existence. It is a
pure archetype Nfft. As to Eesh, the man, he has
the Yod of existence but no Heh: he in not really
alive. When we deeply investigate the notions,
existence and life, we can discover that these
schemata [words] are an excellent and well-
observed description of what our humanity
actually is. [Suraes, 1992, p. 1 13.1 see 3 1 1.
111. "A symbol of the emotion-nature of the soul,
which is to be transmuted from the astral
[emotional] to the buddhic [intuitive] state ... and
the love-wisdom within the soul [In Genesis
2:21-211 cause a state of latency to overtake the
mind (man), so that it was for a time unable to
carry on its activities. And on the mind plane,
one of the higher sub-planes (rib) was
specifically selected in accordance with the
divine scheme, as the abode of the higher soul
related to buddhi, and thereon was the emotion-
nature (woman) evolved; and this new factor was
brought into relation with the lower mind. And
the mind acknowledges the better half of itself to
be now of its own substance, and recognizes the
mind-emotion that which is apparently dual
within the mind itself." [Gaskell, 1981, pp. 821-
822.1
IV. Swendenborg assets that "by the woman' is
signified man's own, may be known from the
fact that it was the woman who was deceived; for
nothing ever deceives man but his own, or what
is the same, the love of self and of the world. The
rib is said to be 'built into a woman', but it is not
said that the woman was 'created' or 'formed', or
'made', as before when treating of regeneration.
The reason for this is that to 'build' is to raise up
that which is fallen; and in the sense it is used in
the Word, were to 'build; is predicated of evils,
to raise up of falsities; and to 'renew', of both ...
'bone of bones and flesh of flesh', signify the
OWN of the external man; 'bone', the OEN not
so much vivified, and 'flesh', the OWN that is
vivified. Man (vir) moreover, signifies the
internal man, and form his being so coupled with
the external man.. . the OWN which was before
called 'woman', is here denominated 'wife"'.
