Adam, as the supposed great “ Progenitor of the human race,” is, as Adam Kadmon, made in the ''image ''of God — a priapic image, therefore. The Hebrew words ''sacr ''and ''n''’''cabvah ''are, literally translated, ''lingham ''(phallus) and ''yoni'', notwithstanding their translation in the Bible (''Genesis i. v''. 27.) “ male and female.” As said there “ God creates ‘ ''Man in his own image ’'' in the image of God created he | Adam, as the supposed great “ Progenitor of the human race,” is, as Adam Kadmon, made in the ''image ''of God — a priapic image, therefore.

him, ''male and female ''created he them,” the androgyne Adam-Kadmon. Now this Kabalistic name is not that of a living man, nor even of a human or divine Being, but of the two sexes or organs of procreation, called in Hebrew with that usual sincerity of language pre-eminently Biblical, ''sacr ''and ''n''’''cabvah'' * ; these two being, therefore, the ''image ''under which the “ Lord God ” appeared usually to his chosen people. That this is so, is now undeniably proven by almost all the symbologists and Hebrew scholars as well as by the Kabala. Therefore Adam is in one sense Jehovah. This makes plain another general tradition in the East mentioned in ''Gregorie''’''s ''“ ''Notes and Observations upon several passages in Scripture ”'' (1684. ''Vol. ''1 ''pp. ''120-21) and quoted by Hargrave Jennings in his ''Phallicism : ''“ That Adam was commanded by God that his dead body should be kept above ground till committed to the ''middle of the earth ''by a priest of the most High God.” Therefore, “ Noah daily prayed in the ark before the body of Adam,” or before the Phallus in the ''ark'', or Holy of Holies, again. He who is a Kabalist and accustomed to the incessant permutation of Biblical names, once they are interpreted numerically and symbolically, will understand what is meant. Jehovah, from the two words of which his name is composed, “ makes up the original idea of male-female as birth-originator, for the {{Style S-Hebrew|י}} was the ''membrum virile ''and ''Houah ''was ''Eve''.” So . . . “ the ''perfect one'', as originator of measures, takes also the form of ''birth ''origin, as ''hermaphrodite one ; ''hence the phallic use of form.” (“ ''Source of Measures'',” 159). Besides the same author shows and demonstrates numerically and geometrically that (''a'') ''Arets'', earth, ''Adam'', ''man'', and ''H''’''Adam ''are cognate with each other, and are ''personified ''in the Bible under one form, as the Egyptian and Hebrew Mars, ''god of the generation ; ''and (''b'') that Jehovah, or ''“ Jah'', is | him, ''male and female ''created he them,” the androgyne Adam-Kadmon.

{{Style P-No indent|the Holy of Holies (now symbolized by the cow), in the beginning through the temple ''Hiranya gharba ''(the radiant Egg) — in itself a symbol of Universal, abstract nature — meant spiritual conception and birth, or rather the ''re-birth ''of the individual and his regeneration : the ''stooping ''man at the entrance of the ''Sanctum Sanctorum'', ready to pass through the matrix of mother nature, or the physical creature ready to re-become the original spiritual Being, ''pre''-natal Man. With the Semite, that ''stooping ''man meant the ''fall ''of Spirit into matter, and that ''fall ''and ''degradation ''were apotheosized by him with the result of dragging Deity down to the level of man. For the Aryan, the symbol represented the divorce of Spirit from matter, its merging into and return to its primal Source ; for the Semite, the wedlock of spiritual man with material female nature, the physiological being taking pre-eminence over the psychological and the purely immaterial. The Aryan views of the symbolism were those of the whole Pagan world ; the Semite interpretations emanated from, and were pre-eminently those of a small tribe, thus marking its national features and the idiosyncratic defects that characterize many of the Jews to this day — gross realism, selfishness, and sensuality. They had made a bargain, through their father Jacob, with their tribal deity, self-exalted above all others, and a ''covenant ''that his “ seed shall be as the dust of the earth ” ; and that deity could have no better image henceforth than that of the symbol of generation, and, as representation, a ''number ''and numbers.}} | {{Style P-No indent|the Holy of Holies (now symbolized by the cow), in the beginning through the temple ''Hiranya gharba ''(the radiant Egg) — in itself a symbol of Universal, abstract nature — meant spiritual conception and birth, or rather the ''re-birth ''of the individual and his regeneration : the ''stooping ''man at the entrance of the ''Sanctum Sanctorum'', ready to pass through the matrix of mother nature, or the physical creature ready to re-become the original spiritual Being, ''pre''-natal {{Style S-Small capitals|Man}}.

Carlyle has wise words for both these nations. With the Hindu Aryan — the most metaphysical and spiritual people on earth — religion has ever been, in his words, “ an everlasting lode-star, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night around him.” The religion of the Hindu detaches him from this earth ; therefore, even now, the cow-symbol is one of the grandest and most philosophical among all others in its inner meaning. To the “ {{Style S-Small capitals|Masters}} ” and “ Lords ” of European potencies — the Israelites — certain words of Carlyle apply still more admirably ; for them “ religion is a wise prudential feeling grounded on ''mere calculation ”'' — and it was so from its beginnings. Having burdened themselves with it, Christian nations feel bound to defend and ''poetise ''it, at the expense of all other religions. | Carlyle has wise words for both these nations.
