ADAMAS (HIGHER ASPECT)
A
symbol of the Archetypal Man.
" But Cyllenian Hermes summoned forth the souls of men mindful ' (Od.
24, 1 ff.). . . . That is, from the Blessed Man Above, or Original
Man, or Adamas, as they think they have been thus brought down into
the plasm of clay, in order that they may be enslaved to the
Demiurge of this creation, Esaldaios a fiery God, fourth in number,
for thus they call the Demiurge." (Gnostic.) - HIPPOLYTUS,
Philosophumena , Bk. V. Ch. 2.
The Divine Mind (Hermes) centralises the spiritual egos on the
mental plane, endowing them with mind. That is, the egos take forms
provided by the Archetypal Man, and are thus brought down to the
lower vehicles, in order that they may be enslaved to the lower
desire principle (Esaldaios), ruler of the lower quaternary.
"The rock ' means Adamas : this is the corner stone .' " - Ibid.
" The rock was Christ." Adamas ' signifies the Archetypal Man which
is Christ incarnate, -the inner God.
