Appendix to “Three Bodies”, Page 5

So Adam and Eve each became an earthly human being who could produce offspring. But already Cain was in etheric existence, just as they had earlier been. Now with the infection of the human “Bodies” consciousness began to dim (Gen 3,22-24) and human beings in time were to begin experiencing loss of consciousness through death (Gen 3,19) and implicitly through its younger sibling, sleep. But no death is said yet to have occurred when, immediately after the Garden story of Gen 3, we have Adam “knowing” Eve and producing Cain. Here we have the male etheric being of Cain brought down to Earth, not by sacrifice of an Elohim as had his parents, but rather by the earthly act of his parents. But his original etheric body was the creation of an Eloha (with Eve) other than Yahweh, that is, it was male. His earthly brother Abel, on the other hand, did not have such an etheric Body originally created by an Eloha, but being a male child bore a female etheric body (the etheric body is always of the opposite sex to the physical body in a human being). Since the female Yahweh had had nothing to do with the creation of Cain’s etheric body, Cain’s sacrifice was not pleasing to Yahweh.

Cain is given, literally from nowhere, a wife (Gen 4,17), which means that during that race, perhaps the sixth, probably by now that related to the Venus separation (see I-27), other human beings came into earthly existence, and Cain’s seven generations (see above listing) came and went. Then the final Lemurian race, the seventh, perhaps related to the Mercury separation (I-27), brought the Lemurian Evolutionary Epoch to an end.

Those human beings prefigured into human evolution by “Name” in the sevenfold Cain genealogy of Gen 4 were then reincarnated during the Atlantean Evolutionary Epoch, each bearing the same basic character, i.e., “Name,” as in the earlier stage. As we see below, one can detect the motif of seven generations, rather than ten, even in Gen 5. Several possibilities come to mind. The Enoch of Gen 4,17 becomes Enosh in Gen 5,6. The Enoch of Gen 5,18 is not a normal human being as are the others, but as the most exalted spirit from the Gen 4 Race merely enters the soul of another human being, cohabiting with the other its three bodies in an inspiring companionship (cf. the Elijah Individuality, as discussed in “Widow’s Son”; and as the same Individuality did with the Twelve, especially the Beloved Disciple, after John the Baptist was beheaded [see “Peter, James and John” below). It is to be noted that Enoch’s number of years is less than half that of the next shortest in Gen 5, and it has always been noted that he did not seem to die but merely “walked with God” and “was not, for God took him” (Gen 5,24). It seems plausible to consider the Enoch in Gen 5,18 to be also a reincarnation of the Enosh in Gen 5,6, but to have cohabited with Jared in view of the close relationship between Enoch and Irad in Gen 4 and Jared and Enoch in Gen 5, so that Jared gave birth to the reensoulment of Enoch and then in that condition sired Methuselah. Similarly, Abel might be considered as ensouled in Seth (cf. Gen 4,25), and since Cain and Abel were of the same generation, and Cain reappears as Kenan, one generation is thus eliminated in the reckoning. It seems more probable that Enosh was born to Seth in Lemuria, for it is after that birth that “men began to call upon the name of [Yahweh]” Gen 4,26, the event concluding ancient Lemuria and the Gen 4 account.

If this is true, the number of Atlantean generations then shrinks and Cain/Kenan begins that line just as he did in Gen 4. It seems powerfully significant that ages are not given in Gen 4 but are given in Gen 5, suggesting that with the Moon newly in the heavens time could be expressed in terms of years. The etheric master plan for this was laid in Gen 1,14. The Cain/Kenan line also ends with Lamech if Noah and his “three sons” are considered to be of the post-Atlantean Epoch, as suggested by the obvious seven motif, i.e., Cain is “sevenfold,” Lamech in Gen 4 is “seventy-seven fold” (Gen 4,24), and in Gen 5,30 Lamech dies at “seven hundred and seventy-seven years.” While born on Atlantis, we can treat Noah and his “three sons” as really post-Atlantean in character. He is said to have taken seven persons onto the “Ark” with himself (Gen 7,13; 8,18; 2 Pet 2,5), and we know that the guidance of the Ancient Indian Cultural Era, initiated by Manu (Noah), was through his “seven holy rishis.”

In the Bible’s numerology, Lamech’s dying at the age of seven hundred seventy seven years probably suggests that his existence during Atlantis (having previously existed in the sevenfold Lemuria) had spanned the full Atlantean scope of seven races (or Cultural Eras) of seven Archangelic regencies (see I-1, I-19, and the seven angels [Archangels] of the “churches” [post-Atlantean Cultural Eras] in Rev 2-3). Lamech had a part in bringing both Lemuria and Atlantis to a close. In Gen 4,24, Lamech is associated with the number seventy-seven, while in Gen 5,31 seven hundred seventy seven; first two sevens, then three. Moreover, the number seventy-seven comprises the pregnant number “eleven” times seven (see point #2 in “Peter, James and John” for a discussion of the significance of “eleven”). The importance of the sevens for both Lamechs (Gen 4,24 and 5,31) is recognized by 4 ABD 136 which, it suggests, “makes it difficult to avoid the impression that the number is intended to convey the idea of completion.” And can we not perhaps see this also in the very name Lamech which is so very like lamedh (or lamed), the twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
