33rd Degree Freemason and author, Manly P. Hall has written, “The word ADM signifies a species or race and only for lack of proper William_Blake_-_Elohim_Creating_Adamunderstanding has Adam been considered as an individual.

As the Macrocosm, Adam is the gigantic Androgyne, even the Demiurgus; as the Microcosm, he is the chief production of the Demiurgus and within the nature of the Microcosm the Demiurgus established all the qualities and powers which He Himself possessed.

The Demiurgus, however, did not possess immortality and, therefore, could not bestow it upon Adam. According to legend, the Demiurgus strove to keep man from learning the incompleteness of his Maker.

The Adamic man consequently partook of the qualities and characteristics of the angels who were the ministers of the Demiurgus.

It was affirmed by the Gnostic Christians that the redemption of humanity was assured through the descent of Nous (Universal Mind), who was a great spiritual being superior to the Demiurgus and who, entering into the constitution of man, conferred conscious immortality upon the Demiurgic fabrications.” – By Manly P. Hall – The Secret Teachings of All Ages
