THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ The multiworld interpretation will provide some additional insight Adam Kadmon is a phrase meaning "Primal Man" or the “First Man” who extends into all dimensions of existence with Kether as the Crown of Creation. The same concept was transmitted through Apostle Thomas to Indian Christianity which later appears in the Purusha Suktha and in the Isavasya Upanishad.. Adam Kadamon is the Manifest Absolute itself, the eternal 'Adam Soul', the “Primeval Soul” that contained all human souls and in fact all sentient existences. He extends into all the dimensions even beyond the divine into the unknown dimensions of Ein Sof. The appearance of Primal Man was itself was an act of kenosis. “God "withdraws himself from himself to himself" in order to make creation possible. His creative activity outwards is preceded by this humble divine self-restriction. In this sense God's self-humiliation does not begin merely with creation, inasmuch as God commits himself to this world: it begins beforehand, and is the presupposition that makes creation possible. God's creative love is grounded in his humble, self-humiliating love. This self-restricting love is the beginning of that self-emptying of God that Philippians 2 sees as the divine mystery of the Messiah. Even in order to create heaven and earth, God emptied himself of all his all-plenishing [i.e., pervasive] omnipotence, and as Creator took upon himself the form of a servant.” Jürgen Moltmann God in Creation (1985) (p. 88) 54
THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ Creation of material universe is a restrain and self restriction, but the creation of beings with their own freewill and therefore an on going creativity and process of growth out side of the control of the Omni was in itself a willing surrender and self-emptying reality. Ein-Sof gave up and risked his supremacy by allowing a totally independent being to come into existence. This is the kenotic love which caused the creation of Sons. God created Sons – with the independence and possibility of doing things on their own which may go against the Father’s will and may even usurp the omnipotence. Only an infinitely kenotic creation can create a cosmos with beings that has the ability to evolve, make decision, grow and attain. That is exactly why God created his Sons to evolve and grow, even make mistakes instead of creating man in perfect completed zombies. Only a kenotic God wills the otherness of the world that it is not frozen into finished perfection, but permit growth and creativity and in that process allow mistakes. 55
