Glossary and a General Overview of Adamic Kabbalah

 

      As explained in the Introduction and elsewhere, the Adamic woman does not fit into current archetypes. To whatever extent she is yet fully conscious of it or not, her direction is being inspired by the Torah’s vision of the future Messianic light. This light is the ancient “New Light” — the original primordial Light of the Seven Days of Creation. New consciousness requires a new language as foretold by the prophet Zephaniah (and others), “Then I will transform the peoples into a rarified language…”.  Although this glossary only addresses the terms used here on the website of the Adamic woman, it is also a general overview of Adamic Kabbalah.[1]

​

• Adam haRishon: Adam the First or simply Adam. Adam is his personal name, but Adam also refers to all humanity. Moreover, the term Adam refers to both masculine and feminine contained in one singular higher-dimensional form (In Hebrew, ish and isha are the terms used to refer to separate male and female genders). This Adam was not human as we now know human to be, but rather Adam was the original higher-dimensional meta-androgynous consciousness prior to the current paradigm collapse. As a great ape (in all aspects) is relative to a human being, a current human is to the original Adam HaRishon.

• Adam Kadmon: Primal or Archetypal Adam. The even higher, higher-dimensional, all-encompassing super-soul of Adam HaRishon — also known as “God”. More specifically Adam Kadmon is the initial emanation that emanates out of the Ain Sof.

• Adamic Time Body: Time, like space, has a “structure” that our existence is embedded within. This “structure” has ten parts (e.g., the cranium, the right and left hemispheres, the right and left arms, etc.,) of the human body, i.e., the Ten Sefirot. Historical time is moving through this “body”, the higher-dimensional “body” of Adam haRishon within the even higher, higher-dimensional “body” of Adam Kadmon. Our generation is now at the “feet” of this higher-dimensional structure, the Ekvot HaMashiach — the “Heels of the Messiah”.

• Aggadah, Aggadata: Lit., “telling”. Aggadah, comprising about one-third of the Talmud (in addition to a massive library of Midrash), is the non-halachic genre of the rabbinic transmissions. Within much of the Aggadata are camouflaged the secrets of the Kabbalah. This is the last frontier of Torah exploration and it has primarily been left for our generation to decode and apply. Many of the codes for the Adamic woman are contained within the Aggadah.

• Ain Sof: A more sophisticated and methodological term for “God” that encompasses even Adam Kadmon (which encompasses Adam haRishon, which encompasses us). Literally, “No End” or “The Infinite”, but really Ain Sof is not a thing, a being or even an existence. Rather, Ain Sof refers us to that which we cannot refer to. We can, however, refer to the Ohr Ain Sof, i.e., the bands of light that emanate out of the Ain Sof.

• Arizal (Lurianic Kabbalah): Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534–1572), also known by his anagram Ari (“Lion”) or Arizal, is the Grand Master of contemporary Kabbalah for the last four hundred years. As Einstein’s counter-intuitive laws of physics were to the natural laws of Newton, the revelatory cosmology of Rabbi Luria is to all the Kabbalah masters that preceded him (from the time of the close of the Talmud).

• Da’at: Numerous levels of meaning yet all from the same iterating thread. Da'at is the middle brain or consciousness (“knowledge”), the synthesis between the right (“wisdom”) and left (“discernment”) brain or consciousness. Da'at is the “knowing” of the Tree of Da'at/Knowledge. Da'at is also the length of the spine. When da'at is at the base of the spine it is call yesod and when yesod is at the top of the spine it is called da'at. Da'at is the name of the game and the secret of da'at is what da'at is all about.

• End Times, End of Days: Read: Edge Times, Edge of Time. See Messianic Era.

• Final Generation: This is the rabbinic term used to refer to those of us who will have lived or will still be alive at the edge of space-time, the final border of history, both human and cosmic. This is the edge of the current centrifugal (or centripetal, depending on from where one is looking, but who is it that is looking?) concentric wave-forms of the Ohr Ain Sof. The Final Generation is also known as the “Footsteps” or “Heels” of the Messiah, as we are literally the feet, i.e., the “bottom” edge of the Adamic Time Body.

• Flatland: A short satirical novel by Edwin Abbot written over a hundred years’ ago about how to “see” higher and lower dimensionality. By analogy, following the dimensional prolapse of Adamic consciousness and reality, we are now living in a “Flatland”, i.e., 2-Dimensional as opposed to 3-D or 3-D as opposed to 4-D.

• Gaon of Vilna (Gra): “Genius of Vilna”, Lithuania, 1720-1797. Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman (also known as the Gra, an acronym for Gaon Rabbeinu Aliyahu — the Genius, our Master Elijah) is universally recognized as one of the greatest Torah authorities of the last several centuries. What is not widely known is that the Gaon was also a master of the entirety of the Kabbalah and a scientist of the first order. The Adamic woman is guided, in part, by his School of Kabbalah.

• Halachah: Lit., “walking”, i.e., along a path, laying out laws, rituals and rules of jurisprudence. Halachah, in contrast to Aggadah, is rooted in the sixty tractates of the Talmud and then codified in the various code books, Shulchan Aruch, Rambam (Maimonides), etc.

• Hasidim, Hasidism, Hasidus, Hasidut:  Eastern European religious-spiritual movement fathered by the Ba'al Shem Tov (1698-1760). Hasidism is traditional Torah, yet consciously infused with elements from the Kabbalah. The Hasidic movement, as taught within the context of traditional observant Judaism, is a spiritually therapeutic application of aspects of the Zohar and Lurianic Kabbalah, bringing those often-abstract teachings "down to earth".

• Hasadim and Gevurot: Abbreviated as HuG (pronounced hoog with a hard h). These are the polarized, expansive, masculine-like and contracting, feminine-like pulsations that together constitute the Ohr-Light of the Ain Sof.  HuG are the “yin-yang” of Torah-based Kabbalah but with an unexpected Jewish twist.

• Kabbalah: Authentic Torah-based Kabbalah is not “Jewish mysticism”. There is really no such separate and compartmentalized Torah field of knowledge. Kabbalah is simply the soul to the Torah — both the written and the oral — and the Torah is the body to the soul of the Kabbalah.

• Klipah (plural, klipot): A klipah is a covering, a shell or husk and it is usually associated with negative energy and evil, but a klipah is also a protective vessel or sheath which contains a substance or surrounds a fruit.  Klipot, although not evil in themselves, can become the breeding ground for the seeds of evil. It is the klipot that surround the kernels of truth, mixing the truth with distortions and “partial truths”. Without higher-dimensional Torah maps there is absolutely no way of knowing what is really good or really evil, what is pure or what an admixture is.

• Kol HaTor: “Call of the Turtledove”, one of the most extraordinary and revolutionary books in modern Jewish history. Originally composed by an intimate disciple of the Gaon of Vilna as a secret platform and covert strategy to prepare for and help stimulate the Messianic Era, it remained virtually hidden from the public for two centuries until it resurfaced in 1968. Many of its doctrines, especially that which requires the dissemination of Torah-based Kabbalah and its reunification with the New Sciences, are a bedrock upon which the Adamic woman is built.

• Mashiach ben Yoseph: In general, Mashiach ben Yoseph is the era that precedes the final era of Mashiach ben David, both being prerequisites that prepare for “flipping the lip” into the higher-dimensional Olam HaBah. (We are now on the “edge”, i.e., the “end” of the Josephic era). Specifically, Mashiach ben Yoseph is: 1) A super-archetype, i.e., an all-encompassing collective consciousness, which networks a vast matrix of smaller and distinct, yet interdependent, archetypal processes. 2) Any individual — man or woman — who is involved in the specific activities of Mashiach ben Yoseph. 3) An actual individual who potentially exists in every generation. Until the redemption process is completed by Mashiach ben David, each of the three levels of Mashiach ben Yoseph always work together with its counterpart of Mashiach ben David, hence together they are known as the Twin-Messiahs.

• Mashiach ben David: In general, Mashiach ben David is the era that follows the era of Mashiach ben Yoseph, both being prerequisites that prepare for “flipping the lip” into the higher-dimensional Olam HaBah. Specifically, the aspect of Mashiach ben David always works in the background aiding its Josephic counterpart.

• Matrix Movie: Go see it (again), at least the first of the trilogy.

• Messiah/Mashiach: Simply the original, higher-dimensional, meta-androgynous Adam haRishon coming full circle (a ‘tour de torus!’), which reveals itself to be the entirety of humanity and creation. Mashiach is a human being yet simultaneously Mashiach is the vortex of all consciousness, the pineal gland, as it were, the root of consciousness within the Body of Adam. Like a wishbone, the collective Adamic Mashiach subdivides into the Twin Messiahs in order to bring about the full and final tikun.

• Messianic Era: Picture time as traveling through a glass tube with a round lip at our end. “Flipping the lip”— is going from the inside of the tube to the outside of the “tube of time”. This process is the Messianic Era. The Messianic Era is not the “Next World”. It is only the transition from the inside of “This World” to the outside of the time tube, which is the true ‘Next World”. It has, however, two phases known as the two eras of Mashiach ben Yoseph and Mashiach ben David.

• Messianic Consciousness: What you need in order to go with the flow when reality flips its lip of the “tube of time”.

• Midrash: The genre within the Oral Torah containing all the non-halachic (non-legal) statements and episodes of the Talmudic Sage-Kabbalists. When Midrashic material is included in the Talmud it is called Aggadah or Aggadata. When Aggadata is outside of the Talmud it is called Midrash.

• Mitzvah, Mitzvot: Lit., “commandments”, but only in the sense of directives being transmitted and received from a “command center”, i.e., the higher-dimensional consciousness of the Mind of God. Mitzvah also shares the same root meaning of “connection” and “making tikun” and mending the chasm between our lower dimensional “Flatland” reality (3-D) and the higher-dimensional pre-collapse reality (4-D).

• New Sciences: Science, and not just technology, is not what it used to be. There has been a major paradigm shift beginning in the 19th century, and radically shifting in the 20th and now into the 21st century. These new discoveries and technologies have been prophesized by the Torah as imperative to the messianic process to help usher in the next stage of human evolution and unification”, i.e., consciousness.

• Nitzot, Nitzotzot: Fractal (fractured fractions) “sparks” of divinity, the infinite higher-dimensional particles of collapsed divinity. Nitzotzot are literally embedded everywhere, in historical time and in the space of every place. They are what constitute every person, place and thing. Our tikun — and for all of reality — is to return all the “fallen” nitzotzot to the higher-dimensional consciousness and reality of Adam before the collapse.

• Noahide (Ben Noah): Son or daughter of God’s universal covenant with the Patriarch Noah. Torah is not only for Jews. Torah was also intended for all mankind with truth and instruction for both Jews and non-Jews of any religion, belief system or persuasion. A non-Jew who recognizes the universal authority of the Torah, its living transmission via the Sages, and who observes basic laws of civility, morality and justice is ipso facto a Noahide.

• Ohr Ganuz, Ohrganuzic: “The Hidden Light” is the light of pure higher-dimensional consciousness. It is the Light of Genesis that Adam existed within before his paradigmatic collapse and it is the Messianic Light of the Messianic Era that is imminently upon us. As we are now at the edge of space-time the Ohr Ganuz is seeping into our reality, albeit unbeknown to much of humanity and it is coming in through the “back door”, i.e., in ways and places that we would least expect, but for the one who understands, they are truly “Organuzic”.

• Olam HaBah: “Next” or “Incoming World/Dimension” as opposed to Olam HaZeh. Olam HaBah is higher-dimensional reality/consciousness both on the individual level and on the collective global level. There are, however, many modes and aspects of Olam HaBah(s) and the Sages teach that aspects of higher-dimensional reality are here now. Being “there” now is the secret of “Seeing your world (i.e., Olam HaBah) in your lifetime”, i.e., now in this lower-dimensional reality.

• Olam HaZeh: See Olam HaBah.

• Oral Torah: The multi-leveled spectrum of the living transmissions of the Torah that, originally were not written down, but subsequently have been.

• P’shat: Lit., “stripped”, i.e., of any meaning other than the most exterior. The surface or simple narrative meaning of a Scriptural verse. The “outer garment” that we wear as opposed to the deeper levels, i.e., our bodies, our minds and our souls. See sod-secret.

• Qashe-question: A type of rhetorical Torah-based question where the answer (the “revolving-resolution”) is already subsumed to the one proposing the question. The end “answer”, as in a figure eight symbol, returns and loops back into the beginning “question”. An existential or cosmic qashe-question can be turned into a Torah Koan.

• Ruach HaKodesh: Lit., “Holy Spirit” (and “Holy Ghost”), but more correctly, Divine Transmission, i.e., lower consciousness interfacing with higher-dimensional consciousness.

• Sefirot: The Ten Sefirot are a structure that corresponds to the ten parts or aspects of the human body. When used as a transparent template, this structure reveals the often-hidden, inner design — Adamic holism— of people, places and things, the Bible, in the Talmud and Zohar, and in everyday life. The Ten Sefirot are a cosmic metric-system that the higher-dimension uses to “measure” and calibrate itself.

• Shechinah: Lit., “Indwelling”, i.e., the immanent manifestation of the transcendent Divine. Relative to the Ain Sof, the Shechinah is feminine, but relative to us, the Shechinah can also be masculine. The feminine Shechinah is the aspect of the Creator that goes into exile.

• Sod/Secret: The inner truth of a Scriptural verse. As the soul is to the body, so is the sod-secret to the p’shat.

• Talmid Chacham: Lit., “a disciple of the wise one”, i.e., a Torah scholar. To qualify as a talmid chacham one does not need to have mastered the entire Torah and to be able to know the answer to every question — that is the chacham. Rather, the talmid chacham must know how to think like a chacham, how to swim in the sea of the Talmud, utilize rabbinic methodology and actively aspire to know the Kabbalah from the inside out.

• Talmud: Talmud is the true heart and mind of the collective soul of the Jewish Nation for the last almost 2,000 years. Comprised of the Mishnah (the digest and codex of the core of the Oral Torah) and the Gemara (the extensive amplification and commentary on the Mishnah). Many of the most profound secrets of the Kabbalah, specifically for our generation, are concealed within the Aggadah, the non-legal aspects of the Talmud.

• Talmudic Sage-Kabbalists: Any Kabbalah-based rabbi who has received, as part of a living and unbroken legacy, Torah initiation from his teachers. The teachers may be from those living as well as from those who, although no longer alive, have written down their received traditions and revelations in book form. The school of Talmudic Sage-Kabbalists includes not only the rabbis from the period of the Talmud (the Tannaim and Amoraim), but also every patriarch, prophet and Biblical master. This unbroken chain extends back to Noah, to Enoch and even to Adam and Chava (Eve).

• Tikun: “Rectification” or “mending”, esp., “cosmic restructuring”. Tikun always follows tohu (its rhythmic opposite). Tikun (and tohu) is the name of the game.

• Tohu: “Chaos” or “void”, esp., the cosmic chaos that precedes the creation tikun of Genesis. The tohu/chaos referred to here is not the everyday kind of chaos, but rather it is the ordered disorder of modern deterministic chaos theory that is associated with fractal geometry. Tohu always precedes tikun.

• Torah: Torah has three meanings: Torah is first and foremost the Five Books of Moses (The Pentateuch). Secondly, Torah is the entire Written Torah, i.e., the Five Books, the Prophets and the Writings (additional Books, e.g., Esther, Psalms, Daniel, Job, Kings, etc.,), collectively called “Tanach”. Thirdly, Torah is the entire Oral Torah together with the Tanach.

• Tree of Knowledge: Not a wooden vegetation, but a higher-dimensional, dendrite-like super-cosmic structure, the cerebral-spinal neural network and sensorium of Adam HaRishon which, in turn, is iterating that of Adam Kadmon. The Tree of Knowledge forms the branches of the Tree of Life.

• Tree of Life: The trunk and root of the Tree of Knowledge. They are one single structure in the higher-dimensional “center” of the Garden of Eden.

• Tzadik: Lit., “righteous one” or “saint”, but much more. A tzadik is both a “pillar” and a channel or conduit, supporting and connecting.

• Y-H-V-H: The Tetragrammaton (“four-letter name”), erroneously pronounced as “Jehovah” or “Yahweh”, is fundamentally not a “name” of the God of Israel, but rather, it is a grand fractal equation, from which iterates the entirety of existence — self-replicating fractured fractions of Itself. These four alpha-numeric digits and their endless permutations and configurations are the roots of all existence and consciousness.

• Yeshivah: Lit., “place of sitting”, i.e., a school or academy where Torah and Kabbalah are studied.

• z”l: Pronounced zal – Hebrew abbreviation for “May his memory be for a blessing”. Often written after the name of a sage or tzadik, e.g., Arizal, but it can be added to any deceased person’s name, including, e.g., one’s own parents.

• Zohar: The most important source of the Kabbalah, the esoteric tradition of the Torah. Redacted by the second century Talmudic Sage-Kabbalist, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his academy. Not a single book, but rather a voluminous collection of various sections and strata. The Zohar did not appear in public until the end of 13th century.
