" Ea had created Adapa without a helpmate; he had endowed him with
wisdom and knowledge, but had denied to him the gift of
immortality." - SAYCE, Rel . of Anc . Egypt . and Babyl. , p. 383.
At this stage creation on the lower planes had not taken place, and
it is upon the lower planes that duality is involved . Man's
Prototype is endowed with " wisdom and knowledge ," that is , with
buddhi and manas, yet is devoid at this stage of those aspects of
the Self which shall entitle him to life eternal, and which justify
his individual existence in the manifested Cosmos.
" Man (Adapa ) remained mortal, and it was never again in his power
to eat of the tree of life ." - Ibid., p. 384.
Humanity in its lower nature so continued mortal ; nor was it
possible for man, i.e. man limited to the three lower planes , ever
to become more than man and immortal.
“Adapa is called the seed of man- kind .' " - DR. FRITZ HOMMEL
