QUESTION No. 18.
// woman is an emanation from man, as per the rib story,
will she in the final return to unity be reabsorbed, losing
her individuality in the masculine divinity?
Answer: The "rib story" is one of those instances of
gross ignorance upon the part of the Bible translators
who possessed no occult knowledge in dealing with the
language of the Hebrews, which in writing was not divided
into words and had no vowel points. By inserting vowels
at different points and dividing words differently, various
meanings to the same text may be obtained in many places.
This is one case where a word pointed in one way reads
"tsad" and in another way "tsela." The Bible translators
read the story that the God had taken something from
Adam's side ("tsela"), and they were puzzled as to what
it was and so, perhaps, they thought it would have done
him the least harm to take a rib ("tsad"), hence the fool-
ish story.
The fact was that man had first been like the Gods,
"made in their image," male and female, a hermaphrodite,
and later one side was taken away so that he became divided
into two sexes. It may be further said that the first organ
which was developed as it is now was the female organ,
the feminine side having always existed in everything
before the masculine, which came later, and, according to
the law in evolution, that "the first shall be the last," the
feminine will remain a distinct sex longer than the mascu-
line, and, therefore, the inquirer is altogether wrong in
the supposition. It is the masculine that will be absorbed
in the feminine. Even now it is seen that the masculine
