On the day that God created Adam, God made him in God\u2019s image.\u201d The Creator showed Adam HaRishon all those generations that were to come to the world, all those leaders, and all those sages that were to be in each generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>63) \u201cThis is the book.\u201d There is a book and there is a book. There is a book above and there is a book below. The book below is called \u201ca book of remembrance,\u201d which means the book of that remembrance, and he is one righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. It is called \u201cthis,\u201d and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is its book. To not separate them, for they are always together, in one unification, it is written, \u201cThis is the book,\u201d two degrees that are one. They are the whole of male and female, for \u201cthis\u201d is male,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, and \u201ca book\u201d is female,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>64) It is one law, that all those souls and spirits in people\u2014and which are the whole of all the generations\u2014are certainly the generations of Adam, meaning the generations of the upper Adam,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. This is so because these souls come out of this righteous in one craving. And this is the potion of the garden, which waters the river that comes out of Eden, as it is written, \u201cAnd a river came out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d It means that the&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>&nbsp;gives the souls [<em>Neshamot<\/em>] and the spirits [<em>Ruchot<\/em>] of the garden,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. This is the meaning of Adam, as it is written, \u201cThe generations of Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>65) Afterwards, it is written, \u201cOn the day that God created Adam,\u201d it is Adam below. Two Adams are written in this verse. One is the Adam above, and one is the Adam below. Adam above,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, is in the concealment, who concealed the text in male and female as one, as it is written, \u201cThis is the book,\u201d which is the whole of male and female together.\u201d When they produced offspring together, the text calls them Adam, as it is written, \u201cThe generations of Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>66) After the matter was revealed\u2014out of the first, upper hidden one in the text, it is a book that concerns the upper Adam, whose generations are souls and spirits of people\u2014He created Adam below. It is written about it, \u201cOn the day that God created Adam, God made him in God\u2019s image.\u201d \u201cIn the image\u201d means that Adam has this appearance, that the forms are seen in him, and the forms do not stand in that appearance in sustainable forms, but pass away from him. So it is here with the image of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>67) \u201cIn God\u2019s image\u201d means the form of the organs male and female, as it is written, \u201cBehind and before.\u201d \u201cBehind\u201d is the \u201ckeep,\u201d the&nbsp;<em>Nukva<\/em>. \u201cBefore\u201d is the \u201cremember,\u201d&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. And all the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;of the Torah depend on those, the 613&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;of the Torah, which are everything. Adam was created \u201cbehind\u201d the act of creation, and before the work of the&nbsp;<em>Merkava<\/em>&nbsp;[assembly\/structure], and everything is interdependent. \u201cIn God\u2019s image\u201d means in this very form of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>62) It is written, \u201cThis is the book of the generations of Adam.
