Genesis 5:5

Science Rendition

And the ADM-ic consciousness expands and consolidates its many productions into a relative unity of mind, and then undergoes a transmutation of state.

KJV: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Key Words: YWM ADM THSHE MAH SHLWSH SHNH MWTH


TH-SH-E – ‘consolidation’

  1. תשע, nine. The root שע, which signifies literally, lime, cement, draws with it all ideas of cementation, consolidation, restoration, conservation, etc. The verb שוע, which comes from it, expresses the action of cementing, plastering, closing carefully. Therefore the name of this number, being visibly composed of this root שע , governed by the sign of reciprocity n, should be understood as cementation, as mutual consolidation. It maintains with number three, a very intimate relation, containing like it, ideas of preservation and salvation. (Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet)

 

 

Genesis 5:4

SH-M-N-H – ‘accumulation of forms’

VIII. שמנה, eight. This word springs from the double root שום and מון. By the first שום, is understood the action of placing, of putting one thing upon another; by the second מון that of specifying, of distinguishing by forms. It is therefore, the accumulation of forms that should be understood by this number. This signification is made obvious by that of the verb שמון, which means literally, to fatten, to make larger. (Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet)

NOTE RE: BN BTH ('sons and daughters')

Both terms (‘sons’ and ‘daughters’) are derived from the same root, baw-naw, “a primitive root; to build (literally and figuratively)” – Strong’s Concordance – representing the masculine-feminine antithetical unity involved in Creation ‘at the beginning’. ADM goes on to ‘live’ another 800 years – that is, ADM lives via the accumulation of a great number of forms (multitudes), according to the symbolical meaning of ‘800 years’.

From Genesis 1 to 10, we are given the development of the romantic mind and consciousness of the Adamic unit (male and female), which is all about ‘sons’.

In Genesis 11 we learn that the primordial unity is broken and divided (‘Tower of Babel’), and of the generation now of both ‘sons and daughters’. After begatting ‘Arphaxad’, SHM gives rise to ’sons and daughters’.

In Genesis 5, we did learn for the first time of ‘daughters’ (BTH), the feminine of ‘sons’ (BN), forming an antithetical unity between the spiritual powers or entities and the emanated or corporeal forms.

B-TH – ‘physical form’

The root בן, from which comes the word בת, irregular feminine of the masculine בן a son, signifies in general, an emanation, a formulation, any edification whatsoever. The paternal sign ב, hieroglyphic symbol of creative action, united to that of produced being ו, leaves no doubt in this respect. Thus the plural word בנות, which in a restricted sense would mean simply, daughters, taken in a figurative sense designates corporations, assemblages, corporeal forms, corporeaties, etc. (Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet)

At that time, the ‘sons of God’ or the spiritual emanations of the power complex behind Creation, the Elohim (ALHYM), choose those physical faculties (‘wives’) that were most ‘fair’, or resonant to their desire and purpose on earth.

Gen. 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

What we can take from this is that at this point in the evolution of mind, the Adamic unit of consciousness gained the capacity to generate not only ideas (‘sons’), but also forms and structures (‘daughters’).

7121. qara, kaw-raw´; a primitive root (rather identical with 7122 through the idea of accosting a person met); to call out to (i.e. properly, address by name, but used in a wide variety of applications):—bewray (self), that are bidden, call (for, forth, self, upon), cry (unto), (be) famous, guest, invite, mention, (give) name, preach, (make) proclaim(-ation), pronounce, publish, read, renowned, say.

QR The compressive sign united to that of movement proper, constitutes a root which develops the idea of that which is incisive, penetrating, firm, straight; that which engraves or which serves to engrave ; every kind of engraving, character, or sign fitting to preserve the memory of things. From the idea of character and writing contained in this root, has come that of reading, and from reading, that of every oratorical discourse spoken aloud; thence the divers expressions of crying out, exclaiming, speaking, proclaiming, reading, naming, designating a thing by name, by expedient sign; to convoke, evoke, etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 444-445)

L-H-A-Y-R – ‘generate en-lightenment’

This is the root איר, light, or hieroglyphically, intellectual corporeity, which, having become verb, is employed here according to the excitative form: so that it appears evident by the text of Moses, that this hierographic writer regarded the celestial luminous centres, as sensible lights destined to propagate intellectual light and to excite it upon the earth. Physics of this kind offers much food for reflection. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 46)

R-A-H – ‘envision’

Moses continues to make the Being of beings, the universal Creator, speak in the future, by turning the expression of his will into the past by means of the convertible sign. The verb ראות which is used by Moses on this occasion, signifies not only to see, but to ken, by directing voluntarily the visual ray upon an object. The root רו or רי …develops every idea of of a stroke or ray…It is joined to the root או or אי , expressing the goal, the place, the object toward which the will inclines…and forms with it the compound ראי , ראת or ראית , that is to say, the vision, the action of seeing and the very object of this action. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet p. 34)

T-W-B – ‘resonant generation’

The sign of resistance united to that of interior action, image of all generation, composes a root which is applied to all ideas of conservation and central integrity: it is the symbol of healthy fructification, and of a force capable of setting aside every corruption. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 356)

B-D-L – ‘action of separating, distinguishing, particularizing’

The verb springs from two contracted roots   בד–דל. By the first בד, should be understood every idea of individuality, of peculiarity, of isolation, of solitary existence: by the second דל, every kind of division, of opening, of disjunction. So that the verb here alluded to, signifies literally the action of particularizing, of isolating one from another, of making solution of things, distinguishing them, separating them. etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 34)

B-Y-N – ‘indeterminancy principle based on individuation’

The schema Beyn or Veyn (2.10.700) does not mean “divide” in Hebrew, but “between” or rather “among”, and according to the code it has a far greater significance. Its letter-numbers show that 2 and 10 (containers in existence) unfold a cosmic 700 which is the first and ultimate principle at stake in the universe: the freedom of indetermination. This is granted by the action Yavdel to both Awr and Hhosheykh…

This “darkness” is swarming with all that could be, and its living power transcends all human thought. From it, the action of Yavdel Veyn, in time, order and measure, gives birth to all that can become and be.

The same action of Yavdel Beyn upon Awr bestows to such elements of Awr as can be stirred into organic motion the blessed bounty of undetermined freedom.

How, when and where this liberality is taken advantage of is explained in the following chapters of Genesis…What we need to know at this point of our reading is the contradictory characters, which appear in Yavdel, of Dallet (4) and Lammed (30). Dallet expresses the resistance that any given structure opposes to that which tends to destroy it. Lammed is the organic movement that results from the overthrowing of obsolete structures. All organic structures have a necessary quality of resistance which deteriorates into rigidity and self-preservation. Evolution, according to Qabala, is a series of simultaneous destruction-construction or resistances, the biosphere being an interplay between structured and unstructured energies (analogically Awr and Hhosheikh). (The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 89)

A-M-R – ‘conditioning creative causality; plastic, formative faculty’

As the judicious Maimonides said, it is necessary to spiritualize the sense of this word and to guard against imagining any sort of speech. It is an act of the will and as indicated by the hieroglyphic composition of the verb אמור, a power which declares, manifests and reflects itself without, upon the being which it enlightens. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet p. 32)

AM …a root which develops all ideas of passive and conditional causality, plastic forces, formative faculty, maternity. Mother, origin, metropolis, nation, family, rule, measure, matrix. In an abstract sense it is conditional possibility expressed by the relation if. But when the mother vowel א, gives place to the sign of material nature ע, then the root loses its conditional dubitative expression and takes the positive sense expressed by with. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 295)

MR …a root whose purpose is to characterize that which gives way to its impulsion, which extends itself, usurps or invades space: but when this same sign is linked by contraction to the root אר symbol of elementary principle, then the root which results is applied to all the modifications of this same element. That which extending and rising, affects the empire, the dominion; as a potentate: that which exceeds the limits of one’s authority; as a tyrant, a rebel: that which is attached to the idea of elementary principle, as an atom, a drop. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 393)

H-Y-H – ‘allow to come into being’

1961 hayah, haw-yaw; a primitive root (compare 1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):

This is an example of changing the future into the past tense using the convertible sign, in this case to depict the birth of light, the symbol of higher consciousness “with an animation that no modern tongue can render except the Chinese.”

[Moses] writes first ירי–אור there-shall-be-light; then repeating the same words with the single addition of the convertible sign .ו, he turns suddenly the future into the past, as if the effect had sustained before-hand the outburst of the thought וירי–אור and there-(shall be)-become light.

This manner of speaking figuratively and hieroglyphically, always comes from the primitive meaning given to the word בראשית: for the heavens and the earth created in principle and passing from power into action, could unfold successively their virtual forces only as far as the divine will announced in the future, is manifest in the past. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 33)

A-W-R – ‘elemental principle of light (en-lightenment)’

I cannot repeat too often that all words of the Hebraic tongue are formed in such a way as to contain within themselves the reason of their formation. Let us consider the word אור light: it is derived directly from the word אור fire. The only difference between them is, that in the word which designates fire, it is the universal convertible sign ו which forms the link between the sign of power א, and that of movement proper ר: whereas in the second it is the intelligible sign וֹ. Let us proceed further. If, from the words אור and אוֹר , one takes away the median sign ו or וֹ there will remain the elementary root אר composed of power and movement, which in all known tongues signifies by turns, earth, water, air, fire, ether, light, according to the sign joined thereunto. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 33)

Genesis 1:2

Science Rendition

The compressive, descending, densifying power is as yet only a potential within all potentiality of Being: and the power of dark energy phenomenalizes the potentiality of the depth of dynamic, resonant power. And the power of light energy of the progressively expansive, elevating power complex generates the phenomena by means of passive, plastic, creative formative movement.

KJV:: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

TH-H-W B-H-W – ‘chaos; potential within all potentiality of being’

It is the famous [kaos] of the Greeks, that chaos which the vulgar have also gradually materialized…

We know that the sign is that of life. We have seen that this sign being doubled, formed the essentially living root הה, which, by the insertion of the luminous sign, became the verb, to be-being. But let is imagine now that, wishing to express, not an existence in action, but only in power, we restrict the verbal root in the sole sign of life and extinguish the luminous sign י to bring it back to the convertible ו; we shall have only a compressed root wherein the being will be latent and as it were, in germ. This root הו, composed of the sign of life, and of that which, we know, is the link between nothingness and being, expresses marvelously well that incomprehensible state of a thing when it exists no more, and when it is, nevertheless, in power of existing…

Moses…expressed a contingent and potential existence contained in another potential existence…in another seed-producing power, which must be developed in order that it may be developed. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 30)

Aleph is buried in Eretz. To allow it to spring forth alive in us is the absolute function of every human being [objective desire]. In whomsoever the Aleph lives and functions is the very Revelation itself…The word encompassing every variety of container is Eretz, which all translators have reduced to one word, earth.

What, then, is the aspect of these container-elements in which Aleph is buried? The life in them simply swarms, uncontrolled in a state of (says the verse) “Tohu and Bohu”, which is a jumble, a confusion, a hurly-burly, a chaos. It is a fantastic whirlpool of life, not limited to the planet earth, but cosmically including all that exists in the Universe. And, at “the face of its very self”, in its very “deepness”, that chaos is totally fecund, abundant, prolifically fertile. Such is the “darkness” referred to in the accepted translation. (The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 81)

CH-SH-K – ‘darkness, enchainment of inner heat by compression’ [Finsterniss]

This word is…in its figurative sense…a compressing, hardening movement; in its hieroglyphic, it is a combat, a violent opposition between the contrary principles of heat and cold. The root expressed a violent and disordered movement caused by an inner ardour which seeks to distend. The root depicts on the contrary, a sentiment of contraction and tightening which tends to centralize. In the composition of the word it is the compressive force which prevails and which enchains the inner ardour forced to devour itself. Such was the idea that the Egyptian priests formed of darkness. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 31) [darkness = desire enchained]

PH-N-H – ‘phenomenological manifestation’

6437 panah, paw-naw´; a primitive root; to turn; by implication, to face, i.e. appear, look, etc.:—appear, at (even-)tide, behold, cast out, come on, x corner, dawning, empty, go away, lie, look, mark, pass away, prepare, regard, (have) respect (to), (re-)turn (aside, away, back, face, self), x right (early).

6438. pinnah, pin-naw´; feminine of 6434; an angle; by implication, a pinnacle; figuratively, a chieftain:—bulwark, chief, corner, stay, tower.

6440. paniym, paw-neem´; plural (but always as singular) of an unused noun (h‰RnÚDp paneh, paw-neh´; from 6437); the face (as the part that turns); used in a great variety of applications (literally and figuratively)

PHN – The face of anything whatsoever, the front of a thing, that which is presented first to the view: that which strikes, astonishes, frightens: every idea of presence, conversion, consideration, observation, etc.

The aspect of a person, his countenance, face, mien, air, sad or serence, mild or irritated: action of turning the face, expressed by the relations before, in the presence of, from before, etc. Action causing the face to turn, expressed by beware! no! lest! for fear of! etc. That which imposes by its aspect: a prince, a leader, a star, a ruby, a tower, etc. That which is the cause of disturbance, of hesitation. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.427)

This elusive term would seem to contain the idea of taking a potentiality of being and bringing it into being, rendering it phenomenal in the sense of Heidegger’s definition of phenomenology: “to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself.”

TH-H-W-M – ‘depths of dynamic, resonant power’

This is the root הו [being] modified now by the reciprocal sign ת, and endowed with the collective sign ם, which develops its power in infinite space. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 31) [idea of all desire, creative force]

HW …one of the roots most difficult to conceive that any tongue can offer. It is the potential life, the power of being, the incomprehensible state of a thing which, not yet existing, is found, nevertheless, with power of existing. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.329)

HWM This is the abyss of existence, the potential power of being, universally conceived. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.329)

TH This character as consonant, belongs to the sibilant sound. The ancient Egyptians in consecrating it to Thoth, whose name they gave it, regarded it as the symbol of the universal mind. As grammatical sign in the Hebraic tongue, it is that of sympathy and reciprocity; joining, to the abundance of the character ד, to the force of resistance and protection of the character ט, the idea of perfection and necessity of which it is the emblem…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.465-466)

8415. thowm, teh-home´; or thom, teh-home´; (usually feminine) from 1949; an abyss (as a surging mass of water), especially the deep (the main sea or the subterranean water-supply):—deep (place), depth.

1949. huwm, hoom; a primitive root (compare 2000); to make an uproar, or agitate greatly:

R-W-CH – ‘lightness, release of inner heat by expansion’

It is figuratively a movement toward expansion, toward dilation. Hieroglyphically, it is strength opposed to that of tenebre. And if the word [darkness] characterizes a compressive power, a compression, the word רוח will characterize an expansive power, an expansion. In both will be found this eternal system of two opposed forces, which the sages and savants of all the centuries…have seen in Nature, and signalized by different names…

…contains all the ideas of expansion and exaltation, of ethereal breath, inspiration, animation, etc… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.31)

M-Y-M – ‘principle of mutation, morphology; passive, plastic, creative movement’

The root מה, מו or מי, contains the idea of passive relation, or plastic and creative movement…The Hebrews…as well as the Chaldeans and Syrians, employed the verb מוט to express the mutation of things, and their relative movement…

Yet a very singular thing…is, that, from the Chinese to the Celts, all peoples may draw from the word which, in their tongue designates water, the one which serves as indeterminate pronominal relation. The Chinese say choui, water, and choui, who, what? The Hebrews מה or מי, water, and מה or מי, who, what? The Latins aqua, water, and quis, quo, quod, who, what? The Tuetons and Saxons, wasser, water and was or wat, who, what? etc.

I am taking up here, the etymology of the word שמים heavens, because it is attached to the one I have been explaining in this article, and because it signifies literally, the waters, raised, brillaint, and glorified; being formed from the word מים , waters, and from the root שם, which is united to it. This root contains the idea of that which rises and shines in space, that which is distinguished and noticeable by its elevation and splendour. The Hebrew and Chaldaic שמה means happy, transported with joy… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 41-42)

The so-called “heaven” in the first verse, the name of which is Shamaim, contains a Yod between two Mem. This sequence indicates the cosmic movement of Sheen acting against Mayim, the so-called waters: the two Mem (40) between which Yod is playing against its partner Aleph in the game of existence versus life…and it plays against its very destruction. And that which plays against it is the so-called Spirit of God, which is the tremendous vital energy of Sheen originated by Aleph…

Yod must always be in possession of two contrasting qualities; strength and softness…If Yod insists on one of these qualities against the other, what happens is a “dead death”. (This expression, Mawt-Hamawt, will be used in a later description of Adam in Eden).

Thus, the so-called Spirit of God acts like a steam roller every time Yod does not play the game properly. And that action is one of the facts of life that we know best: wars, destruction, disasters of all sorts…frustrations and failures; the annihilation of our achievements; and the terrible refusal of life in response to our hopes and our projects. But from these ruins, these misfortunes, rise the triumphs of ever-fertile life…(The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 81-82)

It is known that the Greek philosophers and Plato particularly, designated the Intelligent Cause of the Universe in no other way than by the absolute pronoun…composed of the pronoun and the absolute verb היה, to be-being…The verb itself, united to the pronoun אל, produces אלוה (Eloah), that-He-who-is, the plural of which Elohim, signifies exactly HE-they-who-are…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 28)

The Hebrew and Chaldaic שמה means happy, transported with joy… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 41-42)

A-R-TZ – ‘compressive, descending, densifying power’

…The primitive root אר, contains the united signs, almost always violent, of stable power and of continued movement proper…one adds the sign… צ, which expresses the term and end of all substance, one finds equally earth, that is to say, the element which is limited, figured, tactile, compressive, plastic, etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 40-41)

…the set which tends more to manifest and to call forth an outer effect, and the set which is inwardly active, tending to remain as an inner experience. Then we have the essence of hashamayim and ha’aretz.” (Genesis, Rudolf Steiner, p. 10)

Note: Thus, we have in verse 1, the beginning of Being as potential, the two tendencies of powers: that of an outwardly manifesting or expanding power and one of an inwardly developing or concentrating power, which we tend to call heaven and earth.
