The days of creation



  1. Light cast upon a formless and waste earth
  2. The expanse – a dividing between the waters and the waters
  3. Growth of vegetation
  4. The "making" of the two great luminaries
  5. The creation of both land and sea creatures
  6. The incarnation of the creatures to the earth plane. Male and female created.
Above we have just briefly pointed out the main 6 days of creation. An argument that many Bible critics point out is – how can vegetables have grown without the sun which wasn't created until the 4th day? The answer is quite simple if you understand the duality and the style in which Moses wrote. For instance, the immaterial element of the duality is not reliant upon the luminaries as the sustenance of life, but upon the light which appeared within the 1st day. The luminaries belong to the "formation", as they were made and not created.


You will notice that the creation of the land and sea creatures began on the 5th day but did not reach its completion until the 6th day, as on this day Elohim 'made' the bodies that were to inhabit the creatures of the 'creation', as without these bodies being 'made' there could be no incarnation. You will notice also that the days of creation fit neatly into our scientific theory of evolution: first the seas, then vegetation, then sea and land creatures, and finally man himself.
But this theory is somewhat contradicted when Moses discusses the aspect of the 'formation' during the making of the Garden of Eden. To understand these contradictions we need to bear in mind that he was speaking solely on a symbolical perspective. In the formation scenario we find Adam being formed out of the ground and the spirit enters, symbolically, as the breath of life. In the next stage of this scenario Jehwah Elohim decides to form the animals to act as a compliment to Adam, as it is not good for man to continue on his own. It wasn't until some time had passed that the powers to be realized they had made a mistake as Adam proved dissatisfied with the animals and it was decided that man needed not animals, but a female to be his complement. As a result, Eve was formed from Adam's rib.
It is the telling of the "Adam and Eve" story that makes critics question the apparent intelligence of Moses. Not only does he contradict the creation scenario but he discredits the intelligence and wisdom of the creative forces responsible. For starters, in the creation male and female were created simultaneously and some time after the creation of the animals. Creation further shows the incarnation of animals before the incarnation of man. These variations, or contradictions can be overlooked, but not so the intelligence factor. For instance, what omnipotent power would think that man, himself subjected to animal instinct, would be satisfied and contented with the company of the beasts of the field, rather than the female aspect of his own kind? Did they believe that Adam himself, after continuously observing the beasts of the field, would himself not fancy playing piggy back with a female partner? To suggest that Adam himself possessed no animal sex urges would be ridiculous as his dissatisfaction proves otherwise.
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, {Be fruitful}, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
The above scripture itself shows that to be fruitful and multiply was the objective in mind at the creation of male and female. This commandment was given to them just prior to incarnating into a physical world at that moment inhabited solely by the beasts of the field and seas. Notice here that we also use the original term "replenish", which, due to the controversy it creates, is slowly being omitted from newer Biblical translations. The term means to "refill", suggesting that the earth had once been inhabited but had been previously emptied because of some catastrophic event.


Moses' story telling comes further under fire with his story of Cain and Abel, the children of Adam and Eve. In this story we find that Cain murders Abel because of jealousy where, after Cain's deed is discovered, he becomes a marked man and is sent into exile into the land of "fugitives". Here we discover that he has a wife, he builds a town, etc, etc, with no explanation of where she came from, or why there was even a need to build a town. It's up to each individual to reach their own conclusions of Moses' writing, and why he wrote these things, and just what manner of divine guidance he possessed during his time of writing.
We had already earlier pointed out the high intelligence that Moses possessed. Because of this intelligence we can only assume that the majority of his writing is cryptic, probably concealing some spiritual mystical insight which he decided should not be revealed openly to the masses gathered with him in the wilderness. It is an indication that we should not be reading his words literally, but be mindful of some hidden message, somewhere within the story, more than likely dealing with duality. If we take duality into consideration – how could we interpret the meaning behind Cain and Abel?
Now Cain was a cultivator of the ground while Abel was a herder of sheep. The dispute started with the two brothers making their offering to Jehwah. In this scenario we should regard Cain as the physical aspect and Abel as the spiritual aspect. This is simply that Cain was chosen by Eve because it meant "produced", a product of the earth, and hence also he tilt the ground: there is no definition given to the meaning of Abel. Cain's offering to Jehwah was simply "some fruits of the ground", whereas, Abel brought the "firstlings of his flock, even their fatty pieces." Because of Cain's lack of consideration, or selfishness, Jehwah favored Abel's offering. This favoring of Abel made Cain angry and his countenance fell. In other words, his brightness fell.
Mystics like to interpret the story of Cain and Able with some metaphysical symbolic representation. Cain, in this instance, symbolizes the physical man, the "produced" from the ground, where Abel is the spiritual man within him. The falling of his countenance resulted in the connection he had with his spiritual self to silence, or death, causing his spiritual self now to speak only as his conscience, as the blood calling from the ground. The suppression of the spiritual self caused Cain to be exiled from the face of Jehwah into the land of fugitives.
