H-A-D-M – ‘dynamic, natural (nether) pole of man’ (Genetic Entity)

It is assuredly difficult to read attentively this verse without finding the convincing proof, that the figurative meaning given to the initial word בראסית is of rigorous exactitude, and that it is indeed, only in principle, that the [Elohim] had at first determined the creation of the heavens and the earth…It would seem that Moses, wishing to make this profound truth clearly understood, has written designedly the beginning of this chapter. In the first verse, he speaks of the natural law which must lead this creation of power in action to its highest development. He repeats carefully several times, that this creation has been made according to the efficient action of יהוה אלחים IHOAH [Elohim]. Finally he gives the word and says openly, that every conception of productive Nature had been created before Nature existed, and all vegetation, before anything had germinated; furthermore, after having announced the formation of Adam, he declared expressly that Adam did not exist, ואדם אין.

…the Hellenist translators have wished to see in the natural law…only an embellishement.. and in the conception of productive nature, only an herb of the field…as well as making [IHOAH Elohim] say…let us make man, instead of we will make Adam, נעשה אדם as is given in the original text, which is very different. The determined resolution of veiling the spiritual meaning of the Sepher, and above all of the Beraeshith, place them at every turn in difficult positions and forced them to distort the clearest phrases. A single word badly disguised would have been suficient to make their preparations crumble away. They preferred to risk the grossest mistranslations…

What, for example, could be more incoherent that what they made him say? According to their version, man, already created in v. 26 of the preceding chapter, does not exist in v. 6 of this one; and presently in v. 7, this same man comes to be created anew. How can this be?

The first creation takes place only in principle. The days, or the luminous manifestations, are only the efficient epochs, the phenomenal phases; Moses states it in a manner so precise that one must voluntarily close the eyes in order not to see its light. The conception of Nature had been created before Nature herself; the vegetation before the vegetable; Adam…, universal man had been made in power. Soon he appears in action, and it is by him that effective creation begins. Profound Mystery!… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 71)

ADM must be a spiritual entity, as we are told it was made in the image of God. HADM, in contrast, was ‘formed of the dust of the ground’ and ‘became a living soul’. HADM is ADM, but with the addition of life, H. Thus, HADM must be a particular life form connected to the earth. We could say that the first creation involved an upper ‘man’, a spiritual being, and the second a nether ‘man’, an earthly, genetic entity.

Thus, what we term ‘man’ in English consists of a profound duality of an earthly and a spiritual nature as set out symbolically in the letter-symbols of Biblical Hebrew.

If we read on, we can see clearly that the actions related to the ‘garden’ or organic sphere involve HADM. The garden is the enclosure for the activity of this nether aspect of man’s being.

Gen. 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the HADM whom he had formed.

Gen. 2:15 And the LORD God took the HADM, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Gen. 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the HADM, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Gen. 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the HADM should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
