This morning as I sat for meditation I began thinking and “listening” to more on the mythology. To fill in the gaps when I started typing, I referred to my notes and the Internet.
Nothingness/Everything creates God, the qualities of the fruit of the spirit—”love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control”. All these qualities exist in the first vessel of the Kabbalah as intentions, subjects without objects, everything in potential and possibilities without time or space…what Franklin Merrell-Wolff experienced and called “High Indifference” and others have experienced as enlightenment.
Today we might refer to this state as quantum energy or Light before it becomes wave and particle, subject and object, observer and observed. For the qualities to be in material form there must be a sentient being to embody them. And for the religious mythology, there must be a God and humans, beginning with Adam in the Garden of Eden.
Adam embodies all the Godlike qualities and everything is blissful. In a sense, he is one with God. When told to name the animals, he does so but isn’t aware that it is the beginning of subject/object duality. After Eve is created from Adam, the snake enters the mythology to inform her it is necessary to eat the forbidden fruit so the world can be set in motion. In fact, God wants them to experience the world because it has been created for them to receive.
