The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man "orange." It is the same with objective reality. If you want to say anything about it, you have to focus on its specific characteristics. The nefesh 49 is fixated on the plane of exclusive subjectiveness; one’s perception is blurred, obstructing the awareness of the greater realities which exist beyond oneself, to the point of even distorting the definition of objective truth and good. Everything in this plane is relative- only Elohim is absolute. EVIL IS BUT A DISTORTION OF THE OBJECTIVE REALITY, BROUGHT ABOUT BY A CONSTANT, OR EVEN MOMENTARY, SUBJUGATION TO THE RELATIVE AT THE EXCLUSION OF THE ABSOLUTE. Our present society is structured to place emphasis of legitimacy on objective reality, for it is only through having a concept of objective reality that we can have common ground for communication of a common reality. While the need for an objective reality is self evident, one must never use this as an excuse to deny the existence and importance of subjective reality. It is through our personal subjective realities that each and every one of us uniquely defines and interprets all aspects of life and thus it helps shape us and define for us our individuality. Without a sense of subjective reality there would not be a sense of individuality. Note: This is why certain types of political regimes and repressive cultures and societies always seek to place overemphasis on objective as opposed to subjective reality. When everyone is taught to think the same, then everyone will also act the same. This is the master-plan for domination and control. Without a healthy sense of subjective reality, one is left with only a sense of being a meaningless part of a greater whole, with no sense of individual worth. This is the greatest of evils. This is mental slavery and the true definition of exile. This is exile from one’s own self. 49 The animal-like lower soul of man 38
W The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man CHAPTER 4 ALL IN THE FAMILY Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; hatever exists above exists below. Yet, there is a principle called the “state of inversion “or reversal from the levels of holiness to the level of uncleanness. The world is closer to the levels of uncleaness than the higher levels. Yet, these two planes do interact with one another. It makes the world we live in a mirror image of the upper realms. It is similar to the concept of turning something inside out. Zoharic and Torah teachings say that our universe is but a reflection of the higher worlds. Since this is the case, then these worlds cannot be all that different from ours. They exist within the context of their own laws of physics and manifest differences. Somehow all is connected and one universe has an effect on the other. However different these worlds appear, they are all linked through some common format. • Soncino Zohar, Bereshith, Section 1, Page 110a-the Holy One imparts to His device a spin to the left, and all things now take a direction to the left, and the wheel gives to events a course unfavorable to the sons of men. So it goes on until they become penitent and retrace their evil ways. But the motive power of the wheel is centered in the works of man; hence the phrase, “by His device, according to their work”, there being no permanency. In this case too Elohim manipulated events so as to attain a certain end, and all that happened had its roots in the supernal sphere. Elohim had brought Abraham near to Him, and there issued from him Ishmael. Ishmael was born before Abraham was circumcised, that is, before he was made perfect through the sign of the holy covenant. Then the Holy One, blessed be He, so devised that Abraham circumcised himself and entered the covenant and acquired his complete name of Abraham, and was crowned by the supernal he with the symbolical issuing of water from wind. As soon as the symbolism was completed and Abraham was circumcised, there issued from him Isaac, who was the holy seed and who was attached to the supernal spheres as symbolizing fire from water 50 , and who was not in any way linked to the “other side”. From Lot, again, and from his daughters there came forth two disparate nations who became attached to the side appropriate to them. Ya’aqob, although born second, his soul was the firstborn in the higher realms. His soul originated in the realm of holiness and his twin, Esav, emanated from the source of uncleanness. These two forces were manifest here upon the earth unequally. This world became the “battlefield” for these forces to meet one another and engage in fighting. Since this world is closer to the lower levels, it strengthened the evil and weakened the good. Esav was born first because the forces of evil manipulated the children in the womb to manifest the reality more to their advantage. The reality of the fallen state of the earth was thus manifested first. Since Ya’aqob was the force of good, evil pursued him all of his life here upon the earth. Ya’aqob was given the gift of a great mind for him to combat these evil forces. He used their own weapon, deception, to gain the upper hand against those who opposed him (the measure for measure concept-midah k’neged midah). The nature of evil is to use the art of deception in order to stop souls from ascending to the higher worlds. This is the same tool that the Dark side uses today against the B’nai Yisrael 51 . 50 Yitzchak represents Gevurah (fire) which issues from Chesed (water). Ya’akov represents Tiferet. 51 The Children of Yisrael does not apply only to the people of Hebrew extraction, but defines a state of being above the animal level of Edom and the slavery in Egypt. It refers to the upper face of the World of Yezirah, called the entrance to the Holy Land, or the House of Yisrael. Born as a natural man under the laws of the World of Asiyah, or sin, everyone on earth begins as a child of Yisrael. The Children of Yisrael forget the memory of the other reality from which their descended, and sell their birthright for mineral possessions, vegetable comforts, and animal status. Like Esav, they turn away from their origin and forget that it ever existed. Thus, they become slaves in Egypt or the Children of Esav dwelling in Edom as animal men. Those who remain the Children of Yisrael retain their connection to the upper Worlds. Living in Egypt or Edom is very difficult because everyone around Yisrael is so involved in the World of Asiyah that they view Yisrael as dangerous. The Child of Yisrael lives in two Worlds at once. He cannot be satisfied with just the comforts of the World of Asiyah, and yet does not know how to enter and stay in the Paradise of Yezirah. This is why the 39
