Man's Creation

Man's Creation

When man was created he was made two fold - that is there were no male or female beings - which was intended to make a perfect one without losing any individuality on the part of either. Their names were not Adam and Eve, but Aman and Amon, which meant the male Am and female Am. Am means the exalter creation of God.

These beings were made perfect physically and spiritually. But these souls were not possessing of all the qualities of the Great Creator Soul, and in that particular were inferior to the Greater Creator. But as regards this soul part of their creation, they were made in the image of their Creator. The physical or spiritual part of their creation was not in the image of their Creator, for He had no physical or spiritual body. But their soul part was only made in the image of their Creator - and not of the substance - but this image was given a potentiality of obtaining or receiving the Substance of the soul qualities of their Creator and provided, if they pursued that course in their existence or living which would cause their souls to receive in accordance with certain operations of the laws which their Creator Soul had prescribed, this soul Substance. And only in obedience to these laws or their operations could the Substance of the Creator Soul, be obtained.

Well, these creatures were not equal to the test, or requirements, and after living awhile they became possessed of the idea that they needed not to comply with these prescribed laws, but could of their own will and power obtain this (Substance of God) by doing that which had been forbidden by these laws to do, and so in their efforts to obtain this Substance or Divine Love they disobeyed these laws, and, as a consequence, these potentialities of obtaining the Substance of the Creator Soul were taken from them, and they became beings still possessed of spiritual and physical forms and continued souls, but not of these great potentialities- and this was the fall of man.

The story of the Apple is a myth. No apple or anything else that was intended to be eaten, formed any part of the fall. It was wholly the fall of the soul's potentialities.

So you see the story of Genesis is merely symbolic.

The disobedience was the great unlawful desire on the part of these two. The soul substance that these two forfeited was the Divine Love of the Creator, which had they by their obedience became possessed of, would have made them a part of His Divinity, and hence like Him not only in image but in Substance and reality.

The spirit world provides a spirit with the opportunity to develop their natural love to its purest level as it was originally given to man at his creation.

Therefore, no spirit before the coming of Jesus, could possibly progress higher than the highest sphere, in the spirit world, where his natural love and intellectual development existed in their greatest degree of perfection.
