Chapter 2: Labor of Nearly Sven Minutes

When the Citadel ceased from its rotation, the gates of the Citadel closed. Only one remained open, the one toward “Earth”; yet from it no more waters poured forth, as if its waters had crystallized. At the same time, the lake and the sea of living waters which surrounded the Throne and the Mountain crystallized at the surface. The lake became as crystal and the sea became as crystal. On that occasion, the Scarlet Shekinah, together with her cherubim, departed toward “Earth” to be prepared as a habitable planet. This preparation was achieved every time one year before the habitable planet was to be populated; yet, given the new conditions, this preparation began sooner and lasted longer, because the Jubilee had not yet arrived. The Jubilee always followed a Sabbatical year, a year wherein no planet was prepared to sustain life and no living planet was inaugurated.

The Sabbatical year had come. Normally, the Feast of the Beginning, starting with the third week of the first month, was to be celebrated by the planetaries within the Citadel and upon the Mountain; yet this thing could no longer be achieved, initially because of the war. During that period of war, the decision was taken that the Feast of the Beginning be celebrated by rotation for one week, starting with the third week, in turn, upon each habitable planet. Thus it had happened during the last three Sabbatical years. The Scarlet Shekinah and her cherubim were chosen as those responsible for the keeping of this feast throughout the Universe. In the second week of the first month, the Blue Shekinah and the Scarlet One observed this feast upon the Mountain, while the Purple Shekinah observed it within the Citadel.

When the Sabbatical year arrived, before the Jubilee, during the first week the Three Shekinahs met upon the Mountain. It was the feast of the Three, one week. Then came the feast of the cherubim, one week. The blue ones and the scarlet ones were upon the Mountain – those who were available; the purple ones, those recovered from among the ex-cherubim, were within the Citadel. These were named angels. Therefore, Prince Miha-El was also called the Angel-before-the-Face-of-the-One-who-Is.

It was the opportune moment for ex-Lucifer and his ex-cherubim (demons) to “visit” “Earth”; it was the only place they could go since their banishment from the Citadel. None were present save for the guardian cherubim left behind by the Scarlet Shekinah, who had departed to celebrate the Feast of the Beginning together with the inhabitants of the habitable planets. The “Earth” found by Lucifer was prepared to be “born” out of a heap of waters. It was dark and cold, yet the waters were not frozen although they were not living waters.

The Sabbatical year had passed, the Jubilee year had begun, and the Scarlet Shekinah with her cherubim had already made several habitable planets... next was the planet numbered one hundred, the jubilee planet, Earth; so that, after Earth, the other planets would also be finalized, according to the law of the Jubilee, twelve in number.

Earth had been prepared to be “born”, in its own rhythm, within its own six days. The Purple Shekinah, together with her angels, attended to creation and life upon Earth within six days plus one of rest. Ex-Lucifer was also present, together with his ex-cherubim. This time they were simple observers, waiting for the planetaries, hoping to convince them to their side so that they might have a new home.

In the beginning, the Purple One induced a motion of rotation upon Earth and, at the same time, He made Himself light. This light was similar to that of the first day when the cherubim were made. Now it was the light of the Purple Shekinah. There was an evening, then a morning; it was the first day... according to the rhythm upon Earth.

In the second day, the Purple One made the atmosphere, an empty space between two waters, the waters above and the waters upon Earth. The waters above were taken from the waters upon Earth. The cherubim performed an act of magic: at a considerable distance from Earth, waters were lifted up and, at the same time, from the Citadel the scarlet cherubim brought a gift for the earthlings: a piece of the Citadel – a gift of Eden. The waters above enclosed the atmosphere. They were like a sort of floating ocean. Earth was being built as if inside a “soap bubble”, the “soap” being the waters. The thickness of those waters was sufficient to retain some of the heat from the Sun and, at the same time, to allow the stars and the Moon to appear to swim within them. The waters were both a protective layer and a magnifying glass. The entire starry sky was to be seen as if through a telescope. Thus passed an evening, then a morning; it was the second day... according to the rhythm upon Earth.

Although a very significant quantity of waters had been taken from Earth, the waters still covered Earth. In the third day, the Purple One caused the dry land to appear, lifting a plateau of dry land from beneath the waters. Earth was a single continent, it appeared to be floating, its surface being one third of the surface of the waters... Upon the earth, at the commandment of the Purple One, the cherubim cast seeds, and the earth brought forth greenery, grains, legumes and fruit trees. Being masters in the manipulation of matter and the hastening of its natural processes, by a new evening, the earth had transformed into a garden filled with flowers of every kind, blossoming legumes and blossoming trees. Thus passed an evening and a morning; thus was the third day... according to the rhythm upon Earth.

In the fourth day, the Purple One and His angels removed the clouds from above the expanse of the waters above and, thus, the stars, the Moon and the Sun were seen... viewed from Earth. They were there, but the thick clouds and gases prevented the light of their presence. “Earth”, when the Scarlet Shekinah was preparing it beneath the waters, appeared – viewed from the Citadel – as what we today call a gaseous planet. In the fourth day, all the surplus material that was now no longer necessary was removed. Thus were seen the Sun, the Moon, the stars... even the Citadel was visible from Earth. Thus, it had been a Moon swimming apparently within the waters above; a sunrise had come, then a noon... toward evening the fourth day was finished... according to the rhythm upon Earth.

In the fifth day, the Purple One and His angels moved on to more serious things... as we say. A part of the angels, out of the waters and earth, molded all kinds of living creatures of the water; another part of the angels, out of the earth and air, molded all kinds of birds of the heaven. They made them pairs, after their kind; then, the Purple One breathed life upon them, commanding them: “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas; and let birds multiply upon the earth.” The evening had passed, the morning had come; the noon had passed... the day was drawing toward sunset. Thus it was in the fifth day.

The sixth day had come. It was evening. The sea was filled with its living creatures; the sky was still streaked with birds of every kind... the earth seemed desolate, the grass did not fully achieve its purpose, and the grains, the legumes and the fruit trees with their fruits of every kind appeared to be sad. Then, out of the earth, the angels molded all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things and beasts of the earth; they were pairs, two of each kind. After the cherubim finished their work, the Purple One, looking upon the result of their labor, well pleased with all, breathed life upon all that had been made so far in this day, commanding: “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the Earth.” In that very moment, the cattle, the creeping things and the beasts of the earth, all were alive.

Yet something was still missing. The Archangel Miha-El asked His friends: “What is missing from all that you have made perfect?” And they answered: “Our Father, a son is missing, the man of this Earth!” And the Purple Shekinah answered: “You are right!... Let Us make a son in Our image, after Our likeness!”

Although it was not the White-Tricolor Shekinah, and although the Purple Shekinah was formed with cherubim – even three (apparently) –, its authority was identical to the authority of the Institution of Love on the day when the cherubim were created. Although the Three were separated by space, they were still in the same mind and were in permanent inward synchronization. When the Purple Shekinah uttered, through the One-who-Is: “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness!”, at that same time, the Blue Shekinah and the Scarlet Shekinah, each wherever they were at that moment, uttered the very same words: “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness!”

This time the Purple One molded the earth (man), not because the angels would have made him imperfect. No. The Purple One knew what was later to happen, He knew from eternity the entire history of this man, and not only his, but that of the entire Earth. He wanted in a way for it to be His responsibility, while on the other hand He was modeling Himself, yet not within the man He was making now...

He had just finished modeling Adam from the elements of the dust; he was exactly as he was meant to be. He appeared to be sleeping, for as yet there was no breath within him. He was kneeling beside him. He took his head between His palms, leaned over him, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and commanded him to live. Life took hold of him, just as the river of life departed from beneath the Throne, divided into four rivers, then into twelve smaller rivers, into rivulets almost without number, giving life to the entire Citadel. Adam first saw a white light, then a face: an Angel-Son of Love. It was the Purple Shekinah before him. Instinctively he worshiped Him, and the Archangel said unto him: “Adam, you are My son; today a Father unto you have I become!”

Ex-Lucifer and his ex-cherubim viewed the scene from afar. He was jealous and hungry at the same time for that worship. He kept telling himself that, if he were to succeed in obtaining the worship of men, his entire project would be crowned with success; that surely within the worship of the planetaries lay the secret of the One-who-Is; that man is his path to becoming like the One-who-Is; that surely for the planetaries and their worship the Purple One had made Himself as a Cherub. He was convinced. Already for him now it was less and less possible to understand Love; he himself loved less and less... his love was barely flickering anymore, it was like a candle wick ready to go out.

Before Adam had expressed his worship visibly, it was seen by all those present first within his heart. It was like an explosion of α-substance – the α-substance for which ex-Lucifer yearned. He was like a lion watching and scenting after its prey.

Adam was created alone, without a partner beside him. Perhaps Love knew something that was to happen later. He was created – just as the cherubim in their first day – in the noon of his youth. Adam was never a child. He was created to be a king... to study all sciences and to develop without limits. From every point of view he was perfect, holy and, unlike us, with access to the α-spectral and the α-material. From this point of view, he was dual. With the sensitivity of his heart he perceived the α-spectral and the α-material, while with his mind and empirical senses he perceived and analyzed the visible world, the material one. His empirical senses were far more developed than ours, and his range of study of the surrounding world and of the Universe was far broader... somehow we compensate through technology.

He was – just like the cherubim – clothed in a white garment of glory. Unlike them, he was a material being and could enjoy the savor of fruits and vegetables, and the freshness of water. He was limited, however, in the manipulation of matter, having no physical access to α-material. Within his “frequency” – just as we are – he was subject to universal constants; for him, 1 + 1 always made 2; H2O was always water; he was subject to gravity, to hunger; he had need of sleep and, at times, of rest; if he struck himself, it hurt him, and if he cut himself, he bled. Unlike the cherubim, he was a fragile and vulnerable being; he was man.

The Purple One took Adam – as if in an α-material rapture – to the edge of the sea and called all the pairs of living creatures from the waters, from the air and from the dry land. This was the domain of Adam’s dominion. They all came, two by two, and Adam gave them names. In those moments, Adam perceived both at a physical level and at the level of α-substance that he was alone. He perceived his loneliness in purpose both at a mental level and within his heart. He was both joyful and sad. He was joyful in the presence of the One-who-Is, yet he was sad in his loneliness as a species. Then, the Purple One came with a solution; He said unto him: “Rest assured, I will make you a woman.” A deep sleep was given unto Adam, the Archangel Miha-El took from the man’s rib and from the flesh protected by it and, through a miracle – out of so little material –, made a woman suitable for Adam. The woman was a marvel from the perception of Adam also, upon awakening from his sleep. If, before seeing the Creator, he had first seen a white light, now, before him he saw – as we would say – the rainbow... it was Eve.

Eve was made from Adam, who had been made from the dust; she too was from the dust. She was filled with glory, perhaps more beautiful; she was intelligent and, maybe, a little more curious. She was perfect. She was like him... man.

Adam was happy once more. If at the sight of the Creator he had reacted instinctively with worship, at the sight of Eve he cried out, mostly within himself, and said: “Behold, at last! Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh! She is Eve!”

It is said that, intentionally, the Creator proceeded thus; He took from the rib and from the flesh protected by it. The construction of Eve started from the heart and expanded throughout her entire body. It is also said that, intentionally, the Creator led Adam, as a son, toward discovering by himself the need for Eve. Eve was Adam’s first discovery, yet, unlike all the other discoveries that followed, the woman was not a constant (universal). She had something of the “frequency” of the cherubim; at times she was “something”, at times she was “nothing”... perhaps even for the cherubim it was too much; had they been given the task to make the woman as something constant, they all would have failed. It is easier to maintain the universal constants in balance than to put a constant into a woman... perhaps I exaggerate, perhaps the stars are smiling. Nonetheless, there is another aspect regarding the rib from which Eve was molded, a rather serious aspect: Eve and Adam were created equal from every point of view; Adam’s royalty was exercised only with Eve as queen beside him. Just as the Shekinah was of Three in synchronization, so the dominion of man over all upon Earth was achieved through the unity of the two. Their decisions had to be made by common accord.

After Adam and Eve had somewhat recovered from their inward state of rainbow and, probably, fireworks, the Purple One-who-Is gave them the blessing: “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the entire Earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the heaven and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Adam and Eve worshiped, and the angels gave glory to the Creator, singing as in their first day: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes!”, and Adam and Eve joined in the refrain, singing they too: “The Omnipotent One.”

The scarlet cherubim placed the Paradise within a specific place upon Earth. Such was the custom of the Three, to offer a wedding gift – for the blessing was a marriage contract of the two. It was not the first time that such a gift was offered. All the habitable worlds had been in possession of such a gift: a “little square” from the Citadel of God... a garden of Eden upon Earth.

The Paradise was like a flowerpot of another world given as a gift to man and planted into Earth, in Eden. It resembled the Citadel Above, yet they were not identical; it was but a little piece from the Home of the Cherubim, the Garden Above planted by the Three. The garden of man was like a square plateau, higher in level than the place where it had been set, and at the entrance it had steps. Instead of walls, it had shrubs from Above and it was filled with trees and flowers. The trees appeared to shake hands with one another; their branches yearned for the branches of the neighboring trees, giving their fingers to one another in the breathing of the wind that seemed to be brought forth by their very desire to touch each other, as if, through their touch, they exchanged α-substances.

In the midst of the Garden, the One-who-Is had planted the tree of life; it was upon a hill or a smaller mountain. This tree of life was different from the one within the Citadel Above because the river of life did not touch it. In appearance, it did not look like the tree of life from the Citadel Above – a tree which extended upon both banks of the river of life – and it did not possess that property resembling the grapevine. Even so, the entire Garden was special. Its trees appeared to be of crystal or transparent gold; just as the water of life from Above had crystallized, such were they toward the outside. The entire Garden appeared to be of crystalline gold. Even its sand and gravel were crystalline. It was a semi-transparent Garden. Even the grass was of a living and transparent green. Only the flowers were of all kinds and of all colors. The Garden was filled with flying creatures, which, through their song, made an atmosphere full of life and charm.

From the midst of the Garden, from the hill, a river sprang forth which watered the Garden, dividing into four other rivers that watered the entire Earth. Within the Garden was also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It too, just like all the other trees, was pleasant to look upon and appetizing through the fruits that adorned it.

This was the Citadel of man, the place wherein man – Adam and Eve – exercised their authority. Back then, man did not know death. There existed no other authority greater than his, neither of the angels, nor of the cherubim, nor of the ex-cherubim. The only authority before which man bowed, out of respect and for worship, was the authority of the Shekinah, the authority of the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes, the authority of the Omnipotent One; the authority of the Creator, the authority of the Archangel Miha-El.

The Purple One had given a single commandment to man: not to eat from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was another formulation of the Law of Love. This formulation was chosen for two reasons: the text or requirements of the Law of Love in their initial form had been attacked by ex-Lucifer, and under these conditions, until the problem was clarified, no clear allusion to the Law of Love could be formulated; the second reason was that man had to, at some point, choose between one side or the other of the conflict; on the side of the Shekinah or on the side of ex-Lucifer. Ex-Lucifer claimed that the text of the Law was conceived in a selfish form of Love: “To love Love – by commandment – was an attack on free will.” It was agreed that the commandment should sound positive, sound like a choice, sound like an option. Thus was the Law formulated under the new conditions for man: “You may eat according to your pleasure from any tree in the garden, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat.”

Another problem raised by ex-Lucifer was that, in the initial text of the Law, the consequences of disobedience were not clearly specified. He said that, “had he known death was involved, he would have had other chances to avoid the death sentence. Had he known from the beginning what it was about, he would have renounced existence from the very start, because his freedom cannot manifest constrained by a Law that threatens him with death.” It was a fundamental contradiction in this formulation, yet he was capable of anything just to reach where he desired: the worship of man.

Thus was formulated the continuation of the commandment regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: “From the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Ex-Lucifer fought on two fronts. First, to obtain at all costs the worship of man, then he believed, in the depths of his being, that Love is incapable of going all the way with the execution of both his punishment and, eventually, that of man. He knew there was something special regarding Adam, but he knew not what. “Yet it was not in vain that, before the war initiated by him, the Face of the Purple One projected from time to time upon ‘Earth’”. And there was another aspect that gave him courage: the ex-cherubim who attacked the Mountain were not destroyed, but only imprisoned for a time. He thought that, if man should also sin, “it is impossible for the Archangel Miha-El to execute the punishment only in respect to his own self and his ex-cherubim, while forgiving man; it would not be just.” And then, “was it in vain that the Purple One-who-Is renounced His glory of Omnipotent One? For what? Surely for the angels, but also for man.” He smiled, saying to himself: “No chance for me to be destroyed!”

The Sun was bowing great and red toward the sunset. The Sabbat had come upon the Paradise wherein man dwelt. It was the first occasion of this kind for the newlyweds; with butterflies in their stomachs and pink hearts in their heads, Adam and his Eve. They were upon the hill in the midst of the garden. With them was the Purple Shekinah – the One-who-Is, between the two cherubim. There was also a great multitude of angels... ex-Lucifer and the ex-cherubim were missing. There was singing, they all worshiped several times; they spoke of the Citadel Above, the one which now illuminated, among the stars, its crystalline colors. They spoke of how it was Above before the war, of the Three in synchronization, of the river of life, of the dream of Love, a dream from which everything began. They spoke also of the Law of Love, of the accusations brought against it and its Giver... they spoke of the Shekinah of the Three broken by the evil context that had appeared and of how the Purple One took the likeness of a Cherub. Like a moment the Sabbat passed, for once more the insolent Sun turned red and cast itself into the horizon... time passed differently within the Garden of the two.

Indeed, there was a difference in the way the Sabbat passed upon Earth compared to how it did within the Citadel. For the two young people, this difference was imperceptible, because they had not known the passing of time from within the Citadel; yet for the Purple One, His angels and cherubim, this difference was evidently felt... and their Sabbats upon Earth appeared to be moments.

Nothing was made during the Sabbat nor during a Sabbatical year, only those things made were sustained. It has been said that within six days the heavens, the earth, and the sea were made, and all that is within them, and the Creator on the seventh day rested. Many understand this statement wrongly. I write unto you so that you may understand. Many believe that everything was made within exactly seven days. It is completely wrong! The statement does not refer to exactly seven days, but to a principle: six days for labor, followed by the seventh day, the Sabbat established by the Shekinah. This matter of seven days is as if someone were to ask me: “How do you work (at your job)?”, and I were to answer them: “I work six days out of seven.” These seven days do not mean my entire job, as if my labor contract were to end in seven days; I can work an entire lifetime for six days and on the seventh rest.

The idea is the following: the Universe was made like a symphony of seven notes, but this does not necessarily mean something short, only seven notes, nor the fact that the symphony was made within only one octave. No! It is only about the musical interval and the key in which the symphony must be sung. The interval is of six days with a rest of one. There can be different times within the Universe, such as the time from within the Citadel compared to the time upon Earth. Although the metrics differ, the symphony is the same.

The rule for the keeping of the Sabbat within the Universe was established very simply: from sunset to sunset; regardless of the duration between the two sunsets... and each being relates to the sunset with which it was born. Those within the Citadel, to its two sunsets; those upon any other planet, related to its own sunsets.

From the beginning, when the cherubim visited a habitable planet, they took into account the Sabbat of that planet out of fraternity with those planetaries, regardless of whether within the Citadel Above it was the Sabbat or not; yet they bore no guilt for breaking the Sabbat of the planet they were visiting. The same was not true if a planetary came into the Citadel; as long as he was within the Citadel, the planetary was obligated to keep its Sabbats... the Shekinah was present; the planetary had to be upon the Mountain, yet he was not obligated to stay for the entire Sabbat... because a Sabbat within the Citadel meant several days (perhaps months, years or millennia) upon his own planet.

After the Purple Shekinah descended upon Earth, it was agreed that, as long as the presence of any Shekinah is upon Earth, whether Purple, whether Scarlet, whether Blue, those of its color – angels or cherubim, men or ex-cherubim – should keep the Sabbats of Earth. It was an additional law to the Sabbat; not all the cherubim or angels present upon Earth were obligated to keep the Sabbat of Earth. When the Purple Shekinah was governing, the purple ones kept the Sabbat of Earth; when the Scarlet Shekinah was governing, the scarlet ones kept the Sabbat of Earth; when the Blue Shekinah was upon Earth, the blue ones kept the Sabbat of Earth. This law was applied from the moment the Sun set over Eden for the first time, bringing the Sabbat, and Adam and his bride, together with the angels and the two cherubim of the present Purple Shekinah, worshiped the One-who-Is, the Archangel Miha-El.

The additional law regarding the Sabbat brought permanent obligation for man, and his sons and daughters, their sons and daughters, regardless of the color of the Shekinah that was to be upon Earth, because the entire history of Earth was to be illuminated by a Shekinah without even a single moment of interruption.

Of the first Shekinah upon Earth, the Purple one, I speak to you now; then I will speak to you of the Scarlet one (temporary, short, of nearly one day); I will continue to tell you again of the Purple one (two weeks and a half); then I will speak to you of the Blue one (nearly six hours). I will then speak to you again of the Scarlet one (nearly two weeks); and at the last I will mention the Purple one (nearly one week)... viewed upon Earth, but within the rhythm from Above, from the Citadel... I hope you understand... I know you will.

The Sun had hidden behind the horizon; along with it, the Sabbat had also gone. The two, the fresh couple of earthlings, were still found upon the hill within the Garden received as a gift from Above. The Purple One-who-Is was still with them; there were also purple angels and cherubim. They had not finished speaking, and the newlywed pair was amazed by the things heard. Ex-Lucifer watched the family discussion from a certain distance. He was disturbed and troubled by the combination of the Sabbat with the Shekinah; they reminded him of the Sabbats spent Above, upon the Mountain, when he led the choirs from Above in song and praise toward the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes, the Omnipotent One; yet, nonetheless, all these were too little for him now within the remembrance of his heart. This time he was disturbed by the fragrances – and the α-material savor – brought forth by the presence of one of the Three within a Sabbat near him; that α-material savor literally burned him with its perfume. The holiness of the day sanctified by the Shekinah and the presence of the Shekinah upon Earth disturbed him enormously; they produced within his being powerful and unprecedented adverse reactions.

The only relatively peaceful moments for ex-Lucifer and his ex-cherubim had been when “Earth” had been left without any presence of the Shekinah. Those were the moments before the Purple One came and gave birth to Earth out of the waters left behind Him by the Scarlet One, when He had departed in the Sabbatical year to visit the planetaries. He had grown accustomed to the quiet of an empty “Earth” and, although he had been eager to meet his prey, the innocent man, now he yearned for that undisturbed state of the presence of any Shekinah near him... He was now watching the hill of the Garden from afar, making plans on how to obtain not only the worship of man, but also man’s right of the firstborn of this planet, the right of a son of the One-who-Is.

The Archangel Miha-El (/Α\), from the midst of His cherubim and together with other angels, spoke to the pair of Eden – to His first-made son and to Eve, his wife, she too being considered a first-made daughter (through marriage) – of the problem of the angels, of their fall, a fall that came following the repeated insinuations brought against the Law and implicitly against its Giver... He also told them of the return of the angels from the wrong path of doubt and rebellion upon which they had departed, enchanted by the intelligence and charm of Lucifer.

They were told that, just as within the Citadel Above, so too upon Earth, death (or nonexistence) is the natural consequence of breaking the Commandment of the One-who-Is. Just as the laws of matter are governed by cause and effect, likewise the Laws of amaterial are governed by cause and effect; and that the effect of breaking the Commandment is inevitably nonexistence; nonexistence within both spheres, both within the α-material and within the material one – and that, unlike the laws governing matter, the α-material Laws affect in effect matter as well. A material law can be broken without affecting the α-material, yet a broken α-material Law always affects the material too; for the material – all that is naturally perceptible by man – derives from the α-material.

In the present situation, the angels, although they had returned from their fall, were guilty of breaking the Law of Love – a Law which required toward the Institution of Love love, attachment, total trust. The fact that the angels and the ex-cherubim had not been executed on the spot was due to the fact that a solution had been found for their pardon or forgiveness. Although the effect of breaking the Law – death – could not be avoided, for it would have led to the death of the entire Universe, since the Law of Love was the foundation of existence, and love – the water of life – was the basic α-material from which the cherubim and then matter (the masons and bricks of the Universe) derived, the solution found was for the One-who-Is the water of life to die in the place of those guilty. Love died for all, yet from the effects of His death – pardon and forgiveness – only those who chose to turn back from their path toward the abyss could benefit. Due to free will, those who will not to be saved (pardoned and forgiven) shall not be. It is another cause with its effect.

The two were told that the solution to the problem of the Universe passes through their home; that He, the Life, even in this present condition – under the likeness of a Cherub – cannot give His life for many; that the only solution found obligatorily involves an incarnation. They were told that even upon the Mountain Above the moment had been established when the One-who-Is was to be born as a Purple Man of woman. Thus, a sacrifice was requested of the two – newly married and in love –, for the One-who-Is had to be the firstborn of the woman, a woman who was not to be known by man. From the first daughter of Earth, adopted by One of the Three, there had to be born a Son-of-Man and, implicitly, a Son of Love.

Thus, upon the shoulders of the two was laid the burden of the Universe; the two accepted the sacrifice of their love and, although they had never met with the explicit text of the Law of Love – “You shall love the One-who-Was, the One-who-Is, the One-who-Comes with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” – they were fulfilling it. Perhaps Omniscience, not in vain within the purple years, projected the Face of the Purple One upon “Earth”... projecting the sacrifice brought out of love: on the one hand, the choice of man, on the other, the choice of the Purple One-who-Is to sacrifice Himself for His friends... the angels.

Earth was born out of the waters on the first day of the third week of the tenth month of the second Jubilee. It was the rule of the Jubilee from Above that in each month of that year, during the third week, a habitable planet should be born or (as we say) created. Month by month, in the third week, one world was inaugurated. Earth was the tenth within that Jubilee, being at the same time the hundredth planet, the jubilee planet. It had been established that on the first day of the fourth week of the tenth month, immediately after sunset, One of the Three should inseminate the man’s woman in order to give birth to the Purple One.

Just as the Paradise was a gift from Above planted into Earth, likewise the Purple-Tree-of-Life was to be inseminated within Eve’s womb by the Blue One; it would have been something similar to what we are accustomed to today: “in vitro fertilization”; if we, fragile and material beings, can achieve this, what could have hindered the α-material Blue One?... probably ex-Lucifer.

In this context, just as the cherubim after the sunset of the Sabbat, upon the Mountain received their work tasks within the Universe, in writing and uttered by the One-who-Is, likewise Adam was also given a task in Eden, until the moment when Eve was to become a mother; the task was with respect to his Garden, Eden; and with respect to the “garden” of the One who was to be born: to dress it and to keep it.

Adam’s task was to ensure that within the home received from Above, wherein he had been placed, no agent of ex-Lucifer’s nor even ex-Lucifer himself would slip in, and somehow determine them to eat from the forbidden tree – the tree of the knowledge of good and evil –, because if such a thing were to happen, the entire plan presented to the two was to be compromised. A potential willful association of man on the side of ex-Lucifer, by eating from that fruit of that tree, would have led, according to the commandment, not only to the death of man, but also to the death of the angels of the Purple One. Lucifer and his brothers were also in the same condemned situation, only that he risked everything hoping that the worship of man would make him omnipotent, similar to One of the Three; and he also relied on the fact that Love cannot allow the death of those whom He created; he hoped, in the end, for the alteration of the Law.

Yet it was not only the Garden as of transparent gold that had to be kept and dressed by Adam; his task was more complex: Eve(!) had to be dressed and kept; Eve was to be the target of the attacks of the one who once was a guardian cherub. What a situation! The planetary had received the task of a guardian cherub; and his care was not a world, nor an astral system, nor a galaxy... it was a woman, vulnerable and fragile through her construction... she was like you.

Earth was born in the third week of the tenth month of the Jubilee; the rules of the Sabbatical year were observed also during the period of the Feast of the Renewal: the first week was set aside for the Three, the second was reserved for the cherubim (also called seraphim), and the third for the birth of a habitable world. The fourth week hosted, throughout its entire course, the visit of the firstborn sons of the entire Universe; it was their feast; each month adding a new arrival.

The plan was that, in the event that Adam and Eve were to accept the proposal of the Purple One to receive Him into their family – through birth from woman –, His planting within Eve’s womb was to be performed at the beginning of the fourth week, immediately after the Sabbat from the Citadel, so that by the midst of the week He, the incarnate Life, might give His life as a sacrifice for the expiation of those found guilty of breaking the Law of Love; in this manner, the effect of breaking the Law – death – was to be taken upon Himself. The Law could not be changed; its requirements had to be satisfied. The death of One resolved the problem of all. The pardon of the repentant guilty ones who turned back from their wrong path required the execution of an innocent one... it could not be just anyone, it had to be a Guardian, a Creator in the place of those who had been declared children; children through creation.

Adam and Eve had accepted this mission, this task; it was a sacrifice brought to Love out of their heart. Your life you can give for someone in a single moment; to place someone above yourself requires a constant sacrifice, and their sacrifice was for them a death day by day... not only for a few days, but for years, quite a many; within the time known by the One-who-Is and by the cherubim, it was less than one week, yet within the rhythm known by man it was more: hundreds of years... even more, a little more than a thousand.

The very fact of their positive response to the proposal of the One-who-Is was a fulfillment of the Law of Love – a Law which, despite the demands of the fallen cherub, had never been explicitly formulated either to Eve or to Adam. And yet, they were fulfilling the Law: they loved the One-who-Is with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their strength. The task which Adam and Eve had received, within this exceptional context, was a vow of chastity for them. It was a requirement in complete contradiction to the words: “It is not good...” and “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife”.

Only once more in history was this thing to be requested of any pair, for exactly the same reason: a special birth. Yet in any other situation, celibacy falls under the governance of the words: “It is not good that the man should be alone.” And when “man” is spoken of, reference is made to both the man and the woman. On the other hand, when the cleaving (observation, blessing, knowledge) of the two is mentioned, it is clearly stated what it is about: husband and wife (man-he and man-she; father and mother). These words have no need of any other addition... it is about man and woman – Adam as a father to all his sons, and Eve as a mother to all her daughters. As the One-who-Is united Adam and Eve, He will unite the sons of Adam with the daughters of Eve – pairs of “he” with “she” (from the biological perspective of their birth)... anything else is outside the commandment and the blessing that has to do with the family. The family of Adam and Eve was established as a framework of blessing: “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the Earth.”

The Law of Love within the context of the family restricts the commandment and redefines it: “you shall love your neighbor” becomes for the woman “you shall love your man”, and for the man it becomes “you shall love your wife”... each, one another, “as himself” or “as herself”. Only within this framework can children be made; for the love of this pair creates the framework of a home suitable for growth and multiplication upon Earth. By the manner in which this situation is managed, it will be known whether the man, whether the woman... whether man loves the One-who-Is with “all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their strength”.

Adam and Eve understood their mission... besides their care for Eden and for one another, they assumed the role of parents even before their first child was born. Eve was preparing to receive the Purple One at her breast, preparing to raise Him as well and as beautifully as possible, and Adam was preparing to be a suitable helper to her.

Later, after they became parents, they gave all their effort so that each child they brought into the world would be a son or a daughter of the Purple One; if it were a daughter, they raised a potential mother of the Purple One; if it were a song, they raised a potential Purple One. This was the mentality with which they took upon themselves their roles as wife and husband, father and mother... and after a time... grandmother and grandfather, great-grandmother and great-grandfather.

The family established by the One-who-Is was governed by the principles from the Mountain: the Law of Love.

At the moment when the three Shekinahs separated, the Scarlet Shekinah departed toward “Earth” in order to prepare it for the birth which the Purple Shekinah was to realize within six days, days identical in their length to what we have today from one sunset to another. Ex-Lucifer came to “Earth” during the Sabbatical year. He knew that upon “Earth” there was no Shekinah. The Scarlet Shekinah had departed to celebrate the Sabbatical year, according to the ordinance adapted under the new conditions, with the inhabitants of the inhabited worlds.

Normally, within the Citadel this feast was to be celebrated, for one week by the planetaries of each populated world, or by the grouped planetaries of several such worlds. Since during the first and second week the Feast did not have the planetaries in view, the Scarlet Shekinah departed on a “marathon” tour, starting with the third week, visiting, within the limited time, populated worlds and groups of worlds. Upon the return to the Citadel, together with a part of the scarlet cherubim, the Scarlet Shekinah took over the place of the Purple Shekinah, which, starting with the first day of the third week of the tenth month, began to give birth to Earth. Up to this month, on the occasion of the Jubilee, nine more planets had been inaugurated by angels, cherubim, the Scarlet Shekinah and the Purple One.

Upon the completion of Earth’s construction to be a living ecosystem wherein Adam (and Eve) was to be installed as administrator and king, the Garden of Eden was “planted” into Earth, this being the beginning week of the governance of the Purple Shekinah upon Earth; it was a governance through representation, and Adam and Eve had received the blessing of dominion over everything that has life upon Earth. At the same time, within the Citadel the Scarlet Shekinah had installed itself within the Temple that had been rebuilt following the war between ex-Lucifer and Miha-El (/Α\), together with their hosts.

The Garden of Eden, upon Earth, had a double role: a home for Adam and Eve, but also an embassy of the Citadel upon Earth. The plan was that at the beginning of the fourth week, according to the time within the Citadel, the Purple One should take a human body (through birth from woman); by the midst of that week, He should give His life as an atoning sacrifice – for all those among the ex-cherubim who were repentant and turned back from their fall –; to rise again, to return to the Citadel with His rehabilitated cherubim, and at the end of that week ex-Lucifer and his ex-cherubim should be executed, according to the requirements of the Law – the wages of breaking it being death (nonexistence both on the material plane and on the α-material one).

In this manner, the problem of sin was definitively resolved, without Earth experiencing suffering and death. It was a plan that functioned only under the conditions wherein man observed the commandment not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The period of probation, established within the Citadel for Adam and Eve, according to the Emergency Plan, was until the moment when they were to give birth to their first Son – namely, the Purple One-who-Is, who, through birth from woman, becoming a Son of man... fragile and vulnerable, with the possibility of dying.

Until that moment, the Garden of Eden was upon Earth – although a gift from Above – with the value of a loan. It was under the regime of an embassy, it belonged to the Citadel Above. It was to become the definitive property of man and of Earth only after the first son of Earth presented himself within the Citadel. Within the Citadel all the necessary formalities were to be made, before the Shekinah of the Citadel. Adam had to go Above, according to the rules of the Jubilee, or the Scarlet Shekinah had to descend to him... given the new conditions of war.

It had been established that by the midst of the fourth week the Purple Shekinah with her cherubim should escort ex-Lucifer with his ex-cherubim and present themselves within the Citadel, and during this short time the Scarlet Shekinah should govern upon Earth. Until that date, from the moment the Scarlet Shekinah returned from the tour of the Sabbatical year, and the Purple Shekinah had come upon Earth, all twelve gates of the Citadel Above were to be closed. No one could enter the Citadel. Even the protocol of departure and return had been established; for, out of safety reasons for ex-Lucifer and his entourage, he and his own could not meet with the Scarlet Shekinah on their path; such a meeting would have meant the destruction of the guilty ones on the spot, for the One-who-Is-Holy is a consuming fire for sin... it is a natural reaction of a cause-and-effect type. It had been established that those who would go toward the Citadel should depart toward the east and the north, while the One who was coming with His scarlet cherubim should come from the west and the south – Earth being a “wall” between them. Then, and only then, the Citadel was to open its gate toward Earth... by the midst of the fourth week of the tenth month.

On the sixth day, when man was made, although given to man as a gift, the Garden of Eden, like any other gift from Above, was an investment capital, out of which nine parts of the profit returned to the administrators (man), while the tenth part returned to the Giver, the One-who-Is. This thing is valid in every aspect that intersects with His domain of governance throughout the entire Universe, He governing over matter, time and space.

As created beings, we owe to the One-who-Is ten percent of what we are (material body), ten percent of our time and ten percent of our space (the α-substantial being).

Regarding the body, the One-who-Is considers that the heart belongs to Him. Although we view the heart merely as a pump that sends life through the blood into all that we are from a physical or material point of view, the heart is far more than that. While the brain is the seat of processing information regarding matter, through sensory, empirical perceptions, the heart is the seat of the knowledge of the α-material, the α-perceptible, the α-substances; within it, the commandment finds its meaning: “You shall love with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength.” The heart and the brain have different operational systems. The brain works with (universal) constants, while the heart works with α-constants; within the brain 1 + 1 makes exactly 2, within the heart 1 + 1 makes relatively 2. Although the heart does not work with (universal) constants, the heart can reach better results: most constants (the most important ones) were discovered with the heart, being then demonstrated with the mind; the α-constants led to the definition of constants. The brain works with substances and with neurons, while the heart works with α-substances and with α-neurons. The brain observes: I see, I hear, I smell, I feel thermally and tactily... etc.; the heart knows: I intuit, I feel, I love, I hope... etc.

There are also “dual” domains wherein we live our existence, domains that are found, intersect, and pass from one sphere to another – from the material sphere into the α-material one and vice versa. These are merely examples, I do not intend to enumerate them all: music, we observe it as sound, yet we also know it as emotion; with the heart, some find the very same melody pink, while others find it gray; and sometimes, at a certain interval of time, someone who once found it pink now finds it gray. Time – although the hands of the clock are the same, following each other in the same constant rhythm – the heart succeeds in either dilating time or contracting it; and, depending on it, an hour sometimes seems like a gray eternity, other times like a pink second. Light – itself a photon and a wave following observations – yet the heart can give it other connotations as well: “When I saw you, you illuminated my life in pink” or “When I saw you, you ruined (darkened) my day in gray”. Personal history – the same situation, the same place, the same smell, the same view can be gray for some, pink for others, depending on the α-substances named memories. Space – sometimes someone can be as vast as an alien invasion long with gray, other times they can be as small as a pink cake, which you would wish would never end.

The brain and the heart treat reality differently; what for the brain is always the very same thing, for the heart can be sometimes pink, other times gray, “sweet” or “bitter”, “serene” or “darkened”, “joy” or “sadness”, “great” or “small”, “too little” or “too much”.

Regarding the time, the One-who-Is has set aside His Sabbat for Himself; it is valid upon Earth and throughout the entire Universe. Besides the seventh day, He requires ten percent of each day, 144 minutes; yet in order to be equitable, He gives us 21 minutes from each day back (percentages from His Sabbat). Adam and Eve and their children had set aside for the Creator two hours each day: one hour at sunset, another at sunrise. Later, when the system of sacrifices was formulated, first at the Tabernacle, then at the Temple, these two moments were found within the continual services of each evening and each morning, being given as a Law without end. My opinion is that He does not require much. In relation to Love, it is too little. Too little, not in the sense of hermitism, a breaking away from the world, but in a relational sense, for had Love desired us as hermits, instead of a Garden He would have made for us a pillar in Eden.

Regarding the space... it is more difficult to translate into material language. I formulate it thus: were I a rainbow, the One-who-Is expects from me that I give Him ten percent of each color; to recognize, I, the rainbow, that my water vapors would have no chance whatsoever to give color without Him, my Light; were I a monitor, He would require of me that ten percent of my pixels shine for Him, yet not the pixels from a specific place, but ten percent of my entire surface. In other words, He wants ten percent of my influence (α-substance) within the world; yet not from a specific place, but from my entire being... and this thing extends over my time, over my talents, over my income, over my love, over my thoughts, over my words, over what I write, over all that I am: vapors and dust of matter and α-material within His light; a rainbow within His world.

This matter regarding the ten percent is nothing other than the recognition of the authority of the One-who-Is over my body with all that is within it; over my time and what I do with it; over my α-substances – the recognition that I am not my own and that nothing of what I have belongs to me; that all that I am and all that I have, all are His; His, and no one else has any right, besides Him, over my body, over my time and over the influence of my α-substance within the world... throughout the entire Universe.

Just as man was given the commandment regarding Eden, to dress it and to keep it, likewise through that very same commandment we too are targeted. Although today the Garden of Eden no longer exists upon Earth, we have the duty and the privilege to develop and to keep what is most valuable within us: the heart. For without it all things lose their value, while with it enhanced everything acquires another meaning; a pure, strong, and good heart can make a Garden of Eden upon Earth.

Just as the Citadel is a beacon of Love within the Universe; just as Eden was meant to be a beacon of Love upon Earth – the place from where the Shekinah poured forth its α-substance into the world –, likewise we too can be (we must be!) a pouring forth of love among ourselves, for, through love, the Law of Love shines into the world through us... life.

Just as from the Mountain flowed the river of life – a material river and with α-substance –, likewise the heart has dual properties; although it is material, responsible for the blood, it is also α-material, responsible for the α-substance. Not in vain from the wisest man upon Earth, the commandment was left unto us: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the springs of life (α-substances)!”

It was the first day within the Citadel, while upon Earth it was a Friday, the sixth day, when Adam and Eve were made from the dust of this Earth. The sky was filled with the birds that sang and mingled it in flight with their wings, the ocean was filled with fish and creatures that delighted within its pleasant and calm waters, the earth was filled with all kinds of animals; man was missing. Intentionally he was made at the last, because he was to be a representative of Love upon Earth. In this sense, he had to be different and more than all that had been created until now; it is said that man was made after the “image and likeness” of the Creator. An image of Love? An image of a guardian Cherub? And what kind of likeness?

The very idea of “image and likeness” leads us to more than an evolution, for evolution would have meant “image and likeness” to what had been created before; but no, from the beginning we are told to look elsewhere: to the “image and likeness” of the One who gives life, to the Creator. This thought leads us to the attempt to explore (mentally) and to know (α-mentally) the likeness to the Creator and the lack of likeness to anything else alive upon Earth.

The likeness to the animals of Earth is that both we and they were created from the earth (matter); the lack of likeness consists in the fact that, following the action of the Creator of breathing into the nostrils of the man stretched upon the ground the breath of life, it is mentioned that “man thus became a living soul.”

There is a great difference between the action of the One-who-Is of giving life to all the other living creatures – regardless of the environment wherein they were to live – through the breathing of the commandment to live, and the breath of life breathed into the nostrils of man. Although the result was the same – the creatures acquired life and lived –, the difference between man and the other living creatures of Earth is of universal proportions; unlike them, man was a living soul.

The difference between man and the other animals consists in the fact that man is not merely material, he is also α-material. The difference consists in the breath of life (α-substance) and in its result upon the lifeless human-shaped dust: a living soul.

The living creatures of the heaven, of the earth and of the sea are creatures, while man is a living soul; in other words, the living creatures are bodies (matter) with breath (life), whereas man is a soul (α-material) with breath (life) inside a body (material). The emphasis falls, in the case of man, upon the soul (α-material), and within animals, upon matter.

Earth itself was created as a dual environment of α-material and matter, with α-substances and substances. It is, nevertheless, a part of the Universe wherein the α-substance from the beginning was the cause for everything that exists.

At the beginning, the first men perceived more intensely this dual reality; the man of the beginning had access to the amaterial world of the angels, of the cherubim, of the ex-cherubim and even of the One-who-Is. Today it is more difficult to define the living soul (the amaterial man). Yet it is essential to understand; it is about us, it is about the answer to the question: “What is man?” And the answer is suggested to us by another question: “What went you out to see? A reed shaken by the wind?” Yes, this is man, you and I: a reed (matter) shaken by the wind (α-substance). For of the “wind” (α-substance) it is said: “The wind (α-substance) blows where it wills and you know not (α-perceptible) from whence it comes, nor whither it goes... so is the man (Adam) born of the One-who-Is (α-material).”. For of Adam it is said that he was a son of the One-who-Is.

Probably this subject – the living soul – is the most discussed, controversial and poorly understood subject of all that the human mind has tried to encompass. Perhaps here was also the problem: it is impossible to fathom the α-perceptible, the α-substance, the α-material with the mind; this subject can be understood only through knowledge with the heart.

The cherubim, on the day when they were created, out of the cloud of water of life (α-material), at the commandment uttered upon them and through the breath of life (living α-substance) of the One-who-Is from upon the Throne, became living souls. Although they were and are α-material beings, the cherubim are not without a body – they are not a floating vapor; they have a head with a brain within it, they have a heart, eyes, nose and mouth; they hear and read, write and labor; they love and worship. Yes, they do not have a material body like us, yet they have an α-material body, just as the Three have an α-material body.

The cherubim can embrace one another and the Three, they sing with voice and with instruments, they bow down before the Shekinah; all these activities involve a body – not like ours, but like theirs; they are constructed differently, yet in essence they are like us, and we are like them. I speak only of likenesses.

I must add, however, a single difference, lest I be misunderstood: their body – from the way we view things – is dual, it is α-material with the possibility of materialization; and their materialization can be unconventional for us. Just as our heart is relative in the perception of reality, likewise their body is (can be) relative in materialization. They can take any form: they can be great or small, round or square, black or white, young or old, water or “metal”; they have no problem and no obstacle in the way of their materialization. I will expand upon this subject, yet now I speak of us, adding about them, as I have said before: they are the masons of the Universe, observed in part, and almost entirely unknown.

Man, on the day when he was made, out of the earth (matter), at the commandment uttered upon him and through the breath of life (α-substantial life) of the Purple Shekinah One-who-Is, became a living soul, an α-material being inside a material body.

The living soul in both cases depends on a body; for with the cherubim first there was the α-material modeled into an α-material body, while with man there was the matter modeled into a body; and these bodies were lifeless. In the absence of the body (α-material body or body), the being (the living soul) cannot exist; this is the formula of life as long as in both cases the very same method was used.

In essence, both the cherubim and man were created out of nothing, a nothing related to matter, time and space. They were nowhere until the moment they became a living soul. In essence, the very raw material from which they were constructed was nothing, because, before the vapor of life existed, there was nothing, and, before “Earth” existed, there was nothing.

If nothing + α-material body + breath of life = cherub; and if nothing + body + breath of life = man; it means that, in both cases, the cherub or the man without the breath of life (living α-substance) results in nothing (the nonexistent) + α-material in the case of the cherub or matter in the case of the man, which in essence is still nothing.

The living soul is a combination of two correlated elements, and in the absence of one it cannot exist or it is nothing. Body + breath of life = living soul. Living soul – body = nothing; Living soul – breath of life = nothing.

The death of the cherub or of man means nonexistence or nothing. All that the cherub was, from our perception, hundreds of thousands of years, and all that man was, from the cherub’s perception, a single moment, following death both one and the other become nothing, for out of nothing we were made, into nothing we go.

This is the reason why the One-who-Is did everything that depended upon Him, from the moment Lucifer began his fall toward the abyss... the fall toward nothing. Each being is of a value that we cannot comprehend, regardless of the time, space, or kind of matter wherein they live their existence. The dream of Love was, is and will be a Universe filled with living beings wherein love shall be the universal language. The fall of Lucifer, his wrong positioning toward the Law of Love, was an unimaginable tragedy for us; and what was more serious, along with him fell a great part of the cherubim.

The coming of the Purple One-who-Is upon Earth had as its purpose the recovery of as many ex-cherubim as possible, before it was too late for them... but they would not. Although a great part of those who had fallen repented and turned back, the loss of even a single living soul is an unimaginable tragedy because beyond a cold, mathematical calculation, a living soul is more than a combination of forms of matter with forms of substances and a distant and uninvolved Creator. After all, the purpose of creating each being was relationship-building, and relationship-building has to do with the heart – with the Father’s heart of the One-who-Is and the heart of children of those created by Him as sons and daughters.

It is said that “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. The created beings are, each and every one, the treasure of the Institution of Love, the heart of Love is within us, a little bit within each, and this little bit is called the breath of life.

The breath of life is more than a cold spark following which the cherub or Adam gained energy and began to live. The breath of life is an α-substantial kiss of Love. Love makes smaller loves; this is the reason why the foundations of the Universe and its bedrock rest upon the Law of Love. The Law of Love is a sort of traffic light for love, yet it is not like ours, with colors of red, yellow, green... because love has no brakes. The traffic light of the Law is of only two colors: a pink with an arrow pointing Upward and a pink with arrows among ourselves... arrows of love.

This is the reason why the Law of Love cannot be abolished; love has need of arrows, and without them it loses its meaning, it would only be like the breath of life without a body.

When Adam (and Eve later) was nothing, not even dust, the Purple One – Love – bowed upon His knees, took some dust; He modeled it between His hands and wanted to make it pink. But dust is dust, flowers He had none around, the only pink He had at hand was the pink from His lips... Thus He first made Adam’s heart: pink. From there He went further; He first made him a hand, He touched him, but he did not answer; then He made his face with tears in His eyes – those were His tears; from His image seen within them, He drew inspiration; He made him lips, He kissed them; then He continued weeping, as a man today weeps for his son or daughter within the coffin. In the end He made him complete; He drew a deep breath into His chest and into his nostrils He breathed all that He had best: it was life, it was endearment... For before Him, Adam was like a son come from among those who are no more. All that He breathed into man went first to the heart... Before his eyes could see, the heart had already seen the face of the One who breath of life unto him gave.

Adam was not born from the dust an orphan. He was born with a heart preheated by a kiss, with a sweet taste like that of milk upon his lips and with his large eyes wide open. Before his mind could perceive the surrounding reality, his heart was already filled with love... As if he had not been made within a few hours on a Friday, but rather as though he had been carried for nine months within the womb of Love.

The One-who-Is deposited love within the heart of the first man, so that, through dna, it would reach generation after generation, down to us. Within his heart we all were, because within everyone – regardless of the mutations suffered through which we became so different – within everyone there is a little bit of him.

In the love with which Adam’s heart was flooded, the One-who-Is added something else: His image – an extra measure of safety, a kind of protection system so that the heart would be very difficult to divert by the malicious ex-cherubim. This is another reason why we operate with two totally different operating systems – mind and heart – with totally different parameters, written in totally different operating languages. The tragedy was known; it was known that man would go on a wrong path, in a world dominated by ex-cherubim capable of anything, even magic, to rob the Father of children and to strike, through man (son and daughter), at Love.
