I have been writing since the age of 18, having now about 40 books published. Mostly about the mystery of being human and the life of humans, their dreams, passions and the wonderful opening to the MORE that we can all achieve. I have worked and taught in many parts of the world, and seem to be, at 83, still exploring and discovering. I hope my writings share that with you.

The Hidden Meaning

Simple stories can hold within them enormous depths of meaning and wisdom. In our heritage of such stories, we could find some of the deepest commentaries on life's meaning and human existence, if only we would look, or had the key. Take the story of Adam and Eve for instance: is that a primitive fantasy to explain life? Was it created by the ignorant to placate the superstitious? Millions of people have said it was. But popular opinion is not always right. Let us look a little more closely and find out. In this closer look I must first acknowledge the scholarship of F. J. Mayers as expressed in his book The Unknown God - Ain Soph. This is my source for much that is quoted.

To start with we need to understand that Hebrew, an ancient language, is quite different to English. This becomes obvious when we remember that the Greek letters alpha, and omega, mean ‘beginning’ and ‘end’. We still say ‘alpha and ‘omega’ to mean the beginning and the end of something, but perhaps without knowing that in a similar way, all of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet have a meaning quite by themselves.

Just as the Greek - Alpha - means the beginning so does the Hebrew Aleph mean primal creation, for it is the inaudible out-breathing preparatory to making a sound and only made audible by the vowel pointing that underlies it. Daleth as a letter means multiplication, becoming many, and Mem is the sign of unlimited plurality. If we put these together, we discover something interesting. ADM - Adam.

Symbolism of Adam and Eve

Here, staring us in the face, is the possibility that the word Adam is not singular. It is not referring to an individual. It says - the first creative cause multiplying and becoming many. If anything, it is referring to a force or process in nature, certainly not some physical forebear. Yet for generations this is what we have been led into believing. But we might find it helpful to add recent findings of science and weave it into the story.

But let us take the story from the beginning and see the wonderful wisdom it unfolds. It would take too much space to do this word by word as has been done with the word Adam, so I will only give a synthesis of this deeper translation, with occasional notes. To make this understandable without too many notes, I will have to enlarge on the actual words used. For instance, a general translation of the first verse of Genesis is. Firstly, Elohim created the heavens and the earth.

Now, several things will be misunderstood if we leave it at that. A little word ‘eth’ that is the combination of the first and last - aleph and tau - letters of the Hebrew alphabet,
