Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
I. The “Unknowable” referred to in various ways in Rig Vedic verse, such
as “_Nought_ was,” called, later on, Parabrahman—the אין, Ain, No‐thing,
or Ain Suph of the Kabalists—and again, the “Spirit” (of God) that moves
upon the face of the Waters, in _Genesis_. All these are _identical_.
Moreover, in _Genesis_ i, verse 2 is placed as verse 1 in the _secret_
Kabalistic texts, where it is followed by the Elohim “creating the Heaven
and the Earth.” This deliberate shifting of the order of the verses was
necessary for _monotheistic_ and Kabalistic purposes. Jeremiah’s curse
against those Elohim (Gods) who _have not created_ the Heavens and the
Earth,(301) shows that there were other Elohim who had.
II. The Heavenly Manu‐Svâyambhuva, who sprang from Svayambhû‐Nârâyana, the
“Self‐existent,” the Adam Kadmon of the Kabalists, and the Androgyne
“Man,” of _Genesis_ i, are also identical.
III. Manu‐Svâyambhuva is Brahmâ, or the Logos; and he is Adam Kadmon, who
in _Genesis_, iv. 5, separates himself into two halves, male and female,
thus becoming Jah‐Hovah or Jehovah‐Eve; as Manu‐Svâyambhuva, or Brahmâ,
separates himself to become “Brahmâ‐Virâj and Vâch‐Virâj,” male and
female. All the rest of the texts and versions are “blinds.”
IV. Vâch is the daughter of Brahmâ and is named Shata‐Rûpâ, “the hundred‐
formed,” and Sâvitrî, Generatrix, the Mother of the Gods and of all
living. She is identical with Eve, “the Mother [of all the Lords or Gods
or] of all living.” Besides this there are many other Occult meanings.
What is written on the subject in _Isis Unveiled_, although scattered
about and very cautiously expressed at the time, is correct.
Explaining Esoterically Ezekiel’s Wheel, it is said of Jodhevah or
Jehovah:
When the Ternary is taken in the beginning of the Tetragram, it
expresses the Divine Creation _spiritually_, _i.e._, without any
carnal sin: taken at its opposite end it expresses the latter; it
is feminine. The name of Eve is composed of three letters, that of
the primitive or heavenly Adam, is written with one letter, Jod or
Yod; therefore it must not be read Jehovah but Ieva, or Eve. The
Adam of the first chapter is the spiritual, therefore pure
androgyne, Adam Kadmon. When woman issues from the left rib of the
second Adam (of dust), the pure Virgo is separated, and falling
into “generation,” or the downward cycle, becomes Scorpio, emblem
of sin and matter. While the ascending cycle points to the purely
Spiritual Races, or the ten Prediluvian Patriarchs, the Prajâpatis
and Sephiroth, led on by the creative Deity itself, who is Adam
Kadmon or Yodcheva, [spiritually,] the lower one [Jehovah] is that
of the Terrestrial Races, led on by Enoch or Libra, the seventh;
who, because he is half‐divine, half‐terrestrial, is said to have
been taken by God alive. Enoch, or Hermes, or Libra, are one.(302)
