Adam Kadmon



Hebrew אָדָם קַדְמוֹן, "primordial man"

This term Adam Kadmon has many applications, including the first manifestation of the Abstract Space; The Archetypal Man; Humanity; The Heavenly Man, not fallen into sin.

"The body of Adam Kadmon is formed by the Sephiroth." —Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

Also:

The whole of humanity, the sum total of all human units, is Adam Kadmon, the human race, homo sapiens, the sphinx, which is the being with the body of an animal and the head of a human being.

The human being participates as a component part in many lives, great and small. The family, populace, religion, country, are living beings of which we form a part.

Within us there are many unknown lives, many “I’s” that quarrel amongst themselves, and many “I’s” that do not know they live among one other. All of them live within the human being, just as a human and all humans live within the great spiritual body of Adam Kadmon.

These “I’s” live within the human being, just as a human and all humans live within cities, towns and religious congregations, etc. In the same way that the inhabitants of a city do not know each other, likewise, not all the “I’s” which live within the city of nine gates (the human being) are known to each other. This is the great problem.

The so called human being does not yet have a true existence. The human being is still an unrealized being.

The human being is similar to a house occupied by many people. The human being is like a ship in which many passengers travel (many “I’s”). Each “I” has his own ideals, his own projects, desires, etc. —Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
