Kabalanın Açılışı

Adam Kadmon, The Primordial Man. This is the first emanation of Aziluth, the World of Emanation, sent from the En Sof, the Light of the Infinite, into the evacuated space. From him, all subsequent levels and systems took their origin. 2. He is also called the Adam who is prior to all first things. 3. In him are given ten spherical enumerations. Later, the rectilinear figure of a man emerged in its decade of Sephiroth, the Divine emanations, serving as the diameter of those circles. From the Etz Chaim, the Tree of Life, part Ozaroth Chaim, the Treasuries of Life, treatise on Adam Kadmon. 4. He can be called the Axis of these Spheres, reaching from their highest point to their lowest depth. All systems depend on him. 5. Since the En Sof, the Light of the Infinite, was too excellent and great, it was not possible for it to be endured or received except through the mediation of this Adam Kadmon. Even he, in his innermost nature, cannot be received or tolerated until his lights have emanated outside of him through certain openings, which are like windows. In him, these are called the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. 6. Furthermore, his parts are: Karkaphta, the skull; Oznayim, the ears; Chotem, the nose; Peh, the mouth; and Einayim, the eyes. 7. It should be noted that the Light proceeding from this Adam Kadmon is indeed only one, but the further it is removed from the source, the denser it becomes through the degrees of its descent.
