It is said in Genesis : ‘God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them ; male and female he created them.' Which means, according to the Zohar, that God created Adam, primordial man, as male and female, in other words having both principles. You will say : ‘And what about Eve ? It is written that then God created Eve.' Yes, God took the feminine principle from the masculine principle. He objectified her before Him. The meaning of this image of God taking one of Adam's ribs and making it into Eve has greatly preoccupied theologians. Adam and Eve are not a man and a woman. They are symbols. Adam is the masculine principle, who begat Eve, the feminine principle. And what does that mean ? That the first principle came out of his state of extreme subtleness in order to condense, and in so doing he created another principle, Eve. It is said in Genesis that Adam was created before Eve because Moses, who was an initiate, knew that the masculine principle always manifests first. He is first because he is the creative principle : he is the basis of creation and therefore also the basis of all matter. Matter is a condensation of the power of the spirit which Moses describes by means of an image : Eve drawn from one of Adam's ribs. Matter is a condensation of the forces of the spirit and that is why, symbolically, the feminine principle always comes after the masculine principle.
