THE STATE OF EDEN

Adam, according to the letters of his name would not have been a biological man but a threshold creature. “Man” would be his kind but because of metamorphosis due to the sin of the woman, she became dominant as the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20), replacing Adam as the father of all living. The first male of here kind was Cain, an “ish” man (Gen 4:1). The seed of Cain would have had the mitochondrial-chromosomes of Eve resulting in common mortal Enos-man. To this day, in the Hebrew males are ish and females isha. (i.e., men are not Adamic but Ish-kind.)

Because something got into the female of Adam’s kind, a metamorphosis seemed to have occurred — the two seemed to have morphed angel-like elohim into beast-like ish for the male and isha for the female.

The pictographs aleph-yod-shin in the word “ish” describe a beast-like being with the aleph a source of cellular reproduction, heredity, and physical strength, the yod signifying functional capacity, dexterity, and motor function, and the shin signifying digestion and metabolism. All those functions pertain to biological creatures — beasts — but not to Adam’s kind which are clearly threshold beings. (Of course, AI might not be able to draw a distinction between Adamic man and common man today because of hidden things of the Bible.) We are not Adamic man, but as the Jews realize, Ish men and Isha women.

The habitat of Adamic man was Eden, but the habitat of Ish man worldly, with us not living in the spiritual realm. Adam’s kind as threshold men would have came out of the hedge of safety into the real world. Sin would have been for Adamic kind, them both cast out of a threshold state (Gen 3:24) into the ecological world as living biological organisms in a physical environment. They would not have been driven from any place but would have lost their threshold existence; them caught between the states of heaven and earth in a liminal state of existence.

Scripture points toward Eden, as not just existence in either heaven or earth, but in both or in between, enjoying access to both states of existence.

With God no longer in their once glorious bodies, gravity would have overcome them and as biological creatures after sin, they would have been subject to gravity as the consequences of sin revealed; as an example, “Cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life… in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread…” (Gen 3:17:19).

With the Power of almighty God in them — the aleph in Adam — in the Garden of the Lord, gravity would not have affected them. The two lost that Power because of the decoherence of sin. Adam’s kind were surely transformed from glorious to biologically ordinary with sin. Once angelic-like creatures, they seem to have become merely biological creatures.

No longer was Eden, Eden, but a geographic existence centered around what would become Israel.

Using the metaphoric hidden knowledge in the Edenic pictographs, “Eden” would mean that a perceptual threshold-realm from which emergent beings come forth. It would have been an existence in a state of heaven-earth with all things of each visible to Adam’s eyes as the letter ayin in Eden implies.

The first Book of Adam and Eve (chapter eight) reveals that after being removed from the state of Eden remaining only in the physical world, the two had lost their bright natures, and with it their ability to see heavenly things. They once were in a threshold state between heaven and earth and found themselves alone in the physical world with life already in the womb of Eve (Gen 4:1-3). With that time would have begun for time only exists in the physical world.

Adam would have originally been a threshold creature in the threshold of Eden. Eden was perhaps not a biological habitat but a state of existence. That would mean that all the creatures of the Garden of Eden would have been threshold creatures, and perhaps the visions of UAP which people see in this era.

Any other beings would exist in cognate but non-flesh forms. The other forms of life would have been “cognate” or would have shared the same origin as Adam; meaning that they would have all been God’s creatures, but Adam the dominant one (Gen 1:28) because he had the substance (Elohim) of God in his person.

Eden would not have been in Iraq nor even Israel, but a state of existence between the spiritual and biological. Israel was as much Eden as Iraq, but neither would have been the “Promise Land” (Exod 12:25).

The Promised Land (דָבַר dabar) would be Eden. The Word of God is “Dabar” in the Hebrew. God spoke and all things came into Existence (John 1:1-3). The spoken “land” would not have been physically territory but Eden. Eden would surely have been the real Promised Land and would include both land and Word, or Spirit.

God was surely not speaking of territory of which men still fight for, but His Estate of Eden — a threshold realm, neither here nor there, but of two parts as Enoch revealed (2 Enoch 20).

Common Man vs. Adamic Man

What is known about Adam comes primarily from the Bible and sacred texts. What is important is that the genus of Adam was neither gorilla, ape, or monkey and that he came from God, not some lower form of life.

Sinless Adam was not as we imagine; he would not have been a being like us. Repeated, because we come far short of the glory of God, common human beings would look nothing like Adam.

Adam was perfect, called “very good” in the English translation (Gen 1:31). In fact, Adam was created in the divine Image of God would be very much like God in the shape of a man-being. Adam was not only the man’s name but his substance.

Adam: אָדַם — Sinless Adam would not have been a biological being but a threshold intelligence capable of crossing or inhabiting multiple domains, or realms. Adam, before sin, would have been a threshold being and not strictly a biological one.

Sin would have morphed Adam into a biological creature when God changed his habitat from threshold to worldly: God “drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the Way of the Tree of Life” Gen 3:24).

If a threshold being, Adam would not have been driven from the Garden, but his threshold existence changed from a heaven/earth to strictly an earthly existence.

He had not gone anywhere but would have lost his threshold state of existence while keeping the substance of the ground (adama). Adama would not be just material ground but a substance of both worlds. Adama would have been a state of being between objective and spiritual, and so would Adam. Adama would be a threshold substance.

In short, because Adam was of Adama he would have been conscious of all things within that threshold existence; including God, the heavens, and the earth.

The pseudepigrapha Book of Adam and Eve supports that notion:

 

Then Adam cried and said, "O God, when we lived in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we can't see like we used to; no, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

Then God the Lord said to Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things far away. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things far away, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish."

When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.

And God ceased to commune with them. (1 A & E 8:1-4)

 

That God ceased to commune with them comes from Genesis 3:24; they were no longer privy to either God or heavenly things. No longer would Adam and his kind be threshold beings that were privy to both realms but merely biological beings in the world.

As threshold beings, they would have communed with God since God is also a threshold Being and privy to existence in heaven/earth.

Jesus was called “Immanuel… God with us” (Isa 7:14: Mat 1:23). Either on earth or in Heaven, God is with us. As such, that fits the definition of God as a threshold Being, and Adam, made in the Image of God, would have also been a threshold being inhabiting both heaven and earth and freely existing on the threshold to the world.

Adam and Eve would have been thrust, not out of the Garden, but from the threshold existence of the Garden. They had not journeyed anywhere but lost the communication with the once visible realm, now invisible to them. No longer could they see God walking as a man in the Garden but could only see God by the things that He had made.

God as a glorious man would have been lost to them, and God became just a memory to them.

The aleph-dalet in the name Adam: aleph – dalet – mem would indicate a vapor., hence Adam, with the letter mem representing dynamics, would indicate that the vapor was alive within itself. The substance of Adam would have been a vapor. To support that idea, when Jacob wrestled with the man-God the “wrestling” that was a vapor. Implied is that the Spirit of God was in both Adam and Israel (Jacob).

So, perhaps the substance of Adam was the vaporous Spirit of God in the shape of a lower state of man from among the beasts of the field. In other words, Adam would not have had bare naked raw flesh like the beasts but “naked” in the sense that he did not have raw flesh before he sinned. Sin would have morphed him into a beast with a soul within, and since God no longer communed with him, Adam would have undergone a metamorphosis from Spirit to flesh and hence only the earth realm of the Garden would have been suitable for both him and her.

With the onset of sin, the two would have crossed the threshold of metamorphosis and no longer like butterflies, they were more like their worms.

Adam was created in the Image of God, but so was Lucifer. About Lucifer, Isaiah wrote, “Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worm covers you” (Isa 14:11).

There are two manners of “worm” in that passage: Tola is the coccus illicis and rimma another species of worm with an exalted state of existence.

Jesus, according to the psalm was a coccus illicis type of worm; one that began as larvae but ended a lofty flying creature.

Lucifer was the opposite, a glorious worm that became an ordinary caterpillar-like creature that on its belly, it would go after a metamorphosis (Gen 3:14). Once a higher state of being, Lucifer was reduced to, not crawling, but to a lower state.

Like Lucifer, Adam would have undergone metamorphosis; thus, losing the lofty state, and becoming a frail and common man (Enos in the Hebrew) and so would have Eve from whom all of us came. Therefore, we are not Adamic but common, mortal men, who like the winged insects will soon die.

In summary, people today are not like Adam but like the Beast, Satan (John 8:44) but arrogantly we claim to be both Adam’s kind and children of God.

ABOUT THRESHOLD CREATURES

 This is a blurb from my upcoming book, The Hidden Things of the Garden" which I encourage you to buy at month's end:

As Jesus was approaching death upon the cross, He began to sing in agony as if He was being turned inside out — the 22nd Psalm that God had forsaken Him; that God had withdrawn from Him. That seems ambiguous but Jesus would have been a threshold creature who would have the Glory of Himself come out of its cocoon, as if it was a complete metamorphosis. The “agony of Christ” would have been that painful change which we suppose that insects do without any pain.

That does seem stretching it a bit, but earlier Jesus had been temporarily transfigured, but the cross provided a complete and lasting metamorphosis; Jesus, no longer God in the flesh of a beast, He became God in glorious incorruptible Substance — the “Angel of the Lord” (Mat 28:2).

Caterpillars use either trees or branches to hang from to undergo metamorphosis. Jesus was put upon His Tree (Acts 5:30) — the Cross — to change from one substance to another. Jesus shed His flesh to become the glorious “butterfly” and later “flew” away to spread His Glory to the world.

Why the 22^nd Psalm? He was singing about Himself a changing. He noted that He had God in Him, saying, “My God, why have You forsaken me?... But I am a worm, and no man…” (Psalm 22:1,6).

Using the tables in the Appendix, the “worm” is tola’ (תּוֺלָע) whose pictographs suggest a cocoon or similar thing. (CoPilot AI). A cocoon is a threshold existence prior to a transition as the creature undergoes metamorphosis. That was what Jesus was undergoing on the Cross.

The coccus ilicis which is believed to represent the “worm” in the psalm ready to undergo metamorphosis; the males “go through multiple nymphal stages and a pupal (cocoon) stage to emerge as winged adults, living only a few days in order to mate” (Grokipedia 2026).

Males undergo change but the female coccus ilicis becomes a berry-like thing from which crimson die is made. Coccus ilicis undergo a change like Jesus whose flesh bled crimson and His inner existence became the “butterfly.” God used His creatures to transform Himself. That is a smart move, God!

Jesus would have come into the world as a creature of flesh from the womb of Mary, just like any worm. His baptism would have been a stage of development with Him going from a divine “nymph” to an instar — stages between molts. The transfiguration would have been the second stage and the crucifixion the third. The final instar would have been the Resurrection of Jesus as an entirely new creature — the Angel of the Lord. (Instar simply means “likeness”).

In the same manner, Adam would have been a threshold creature going from a beautiful angel of the Lord to a beast, sort of a reverse metamorphosis due to decoherence from sin that reversed the normal process in defiance of God.

Stages (instars) of coccus ilicis development are much like windows catch the process in action. They are threshold creatures that look little like before or after. The same may apply to any of the hybrid sky creatures which take on different images: Anunnaki, watchers, Masikim, or even Adam, prior to becoming flesh-bearing creatures.

To understand the hidden things of God perhaps butterflies and their “worms” should be studied.

Jesus shed His flesh and became an Angel of the Lord. His life was much like the life of a butterfly.
