Adam Kadmon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the religious writings of Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon is a phrase meaning "Primordial Man," or "Primal Man," comparable to the Anthropos of Gnosticism and Manichaeism. However, in Lurianic Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon acquired much more exalted status, equivalent to Purusha in the Upanishads, denoting the Manifest Absolute itself, while Adam Soul, the primeval Soul that contained all human souls, is described in different terms in this variant of mythopoetic cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis.
Adam Kadmon is also mentioned in the The Shamen's song Destination Eschaton -
- And on, across the Rubicon
- So imminentised by Eschaton
- Unto Ragnarok or Nemeton and beyond
- In the name of Adam Kadmon you move on
- Ego gone be as one
- Transformation to solarisation
- Towards the final confrontation
- Eschaton is thy destination.
