The Garden <strong>of</strong>Eden 129<br />

In many respects, it could be said that since <strong>the</strong> vessels 1Z5 were <strong>the</strong><br />

androgyny <strong>of</strong> Adam and Eve, that <strong>the</strong>y were made imperfect. Therefore<br />

<strong>the</strong>y could not mate to perpetuate <strong>the</strong> species. It appears that <strong>the</strong>y could<br />

have carried on <strong>the</strong>ir own existence though rhis would have got mankind<br />

itself nowhere fast. The separation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> female from <strong>the</strong> male was <strong>the</strong><br />

force that shattered <strong>the</strong> vessels and also prevented <strong>the</strong>m from knowing<br />

God as <strong>the</strong>y once did when <strong>the</strong>y were a complete form. This was <strong>the</strong> banishment,<br />

<strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge with God that <strong>the</strong>y once had, that was<br />

<strong>the</strong> Fall <strong>of</strong> Man, for <strong>the</strong>y left <strong>the</strong> Garden <strong>of</strong> Eden through a lack <strong>of</strong> communion<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Divine. This did not happen overnight, nor in <strong>the</strong> 42<br />

days as given by Jacob Boehme, but over a period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

Going to a completely different type <strong>of</strong> approach, it appears that<br />

man, in <strong>the</strong> beginning, had control <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shaping <strong>of</strong> his body, or was not<br />

yet quite flesh. In Genesis we find Adam saying 126 "This is now bone <strong>of</strong><br />

my bones and flesh <strong>of</strong> my flesh." Psychics such as Edgar Cayce have stated<br />

that man in this early time was much aligned to semi-matter, and once<br />

<strong>the</strong> flesh was formed so was <strong>the</strong> urge to procreate, and <strong>the</strong> sexual urge<br />

between Adam and Eve began to polarize. 127 The Qlippoth that Metatron<br />

l 28 had to protect <strong>the</strong>m from was in fact <strong>the</strong> pull <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth and its<br />

desires in <strong>the</strong> material form, for this pull made <strong>the</strong>m more dense, and as<br />

such, <strong>the</strong>y lost <strong>the</strong>ir state as energy or semi-energy. Metatron was a man<br />

who could rise above <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> material and could guide <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

to follow in his footsteps. The Zohar states that Adam and Eve ate<br />

from <strong>the</strong> vine and suggests procreation attempts that were made were<br />

unsuccessfull/" at first. It may be, however, that <strong>the</strong>y were simply not<br />

ready for it, for <strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>mselves had not yet fully formed, let alone could<br />

<strong>the</strong>y procreate <strong>the</strong>mselves.<br />

125The Torah considers <strong>the</strong>se vessels <strong>the</strong> Kmgs <strong>of</strong> Edom, though this <strong>the</strong>ory will be dealt with in <strong>the</strong><br />

Garden <strong>of</strong> Eden after <strong>the</strong> Fall.<br />
