to be alive: to experience; to make known, declare, pronounce; a homestead,
farm, ranch; an announcement; Mother of all Living

The cubit of the Tree of Life is the “rib” of which Eve was formed. A selfless partner j who passionately devotes herself w to all the details of life h, Eve is that hard-working mother j who embraces w all within her reach h. As Adam’s wife, she complements her partner’s physical labors and spiritual endeavors j and temporizes his judgment, as she fuels his aspirations w, and explores and amplifies his vitality h. Adam’s fitting counterpart j, she will slake his thirst w or fan h his passions j by means of the prism w of her own experience of life h; for her maternal qualities, except they suffer great damage, are guardrails j of fairness w and propriety h.

In serving the needs of the family, Eve is a humble y peacemaker who resolves disputes between divergent factions f.

Ordinal 19 fy > 10 y > 1 a:
Whether mother of all living, or simply the caretaker for any who visit her table, Eve serves y her station f with humble y, single-minded efficiency a.

Targum: Adam’s acknowledgment j of Eve as his wife w is a pledge of their mutual satisfaction and fulfillment in days to come h. Bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, he is confident that she will honor her duties j, and that she will offer welcome w relief h as he labors j to meet his own particular obligations w to the living h.

Wheels of thought spiraled within their minds as the couple monitored the firmament between heaven and earth; for as concepts were received, they were absorbed and stored as ideas. Expanses devour clarity; and so far as the spiritual aspects of the temporal realm were concerned, the couple had been schooled in the mysteries through the ministry of the Light Bearer; but the woman had become confused by the subtleties of mortal reasoning. Unable to weave garments of the conceptual threads she had gathered above, she had stumbled in her efforts, losing her way; and she had earned for herself the penalty of death without understanding its reason or its significance.

Adam had not been deceived or confused, however, and he could have endured forever among the hosts of immortals as a living soul; but faithful to his wife, who he saw as himself, Adam had loved her more than his own life. With trust in God’s righteousness, he had no fear of death; and his love for Eve equaled his love of hla. He could not distinguish between them in his mind, and he had willingly laid down his life before the father and the hosts of heaven, so that he might not be separated from his love.

His wife would not be left to face the consequences of error on her own. Claiming responsibility for her deception, Adam confessed that he had not been deceived, and that if he had shared his knowledge better, Eve would not have been confused. He had known the truth about the two trees and had assumed that Eve also understood because she spoke of them as a single tree. Nevertheless, he had not spoken up at the crucial moment and had failed to explain the prophecy to Eve with the clarity she deserved.

Not a martyr or a hypocrite, he had eaten the fruit because of love; and he surrendered sterile perfection for a mortal’s love, in silence and without complaint, trusting in the mercy of HaShem. That Adam ate of the fruit in this manner and for these reasons is the way of escape that would be mentioned in the gospels so many years later; and the Light Bearer, now fully invested in the temporal realms because of the danger afflicting Eve’s core being because of the stain the forbidden fruit had left on her mortal soul, had taken his place within mankind as ImmanuAL, serving as their interface to the eternal realm by virtue of his eternal root in the father.

Not long before these things, that dramatic first day of creation had approached its close; and it had been fitting that a rakia oyqr should be formed—a firmament, an expanse, a pause, a hiatus, an interface, a buffer zone; for the rakia would facilitate orderly instruction concerning unity within the apparent dualities of creation, where wheels turn within wheels.

The king r of heaven q establishes y a covering o for those whose minds r become clouded q by the cares y of earth o; and the beauty r of its dynamic configuration q provides y comfort o and knowledge r of the holiness q that comes y with silence o, as HaMashiyach r rains down q the gifts that accompany y comprehension o of the authority r of heaven q over the affairs of the world o.

The energies of night and day present a duality only by surface understandings; for the difference is one of perspective, not of principle. There is no night or day without rotation. If the one’s position is stationary, there is only a constant stream of light. It’s the spin of the earth that puts the difference between night and day. The duality supports life, but it does not guarantee life.

Day is as the inhale of the planet, and night is as its exhale. Without this duality, earth could not breathe: half would bake while the other half froze. Earth would be a moon, not a planet. Duality favors life, but it does not define life; for light of la is unwavering, during the day and during the night. Creation is a parable, and we understand that the spirit of HaShem is constant, whether we perceive ourselves as being of the day or of the night. If the perspective of the son makes you free, you are free, indeed.

Thus, it’s taught that all things are lawful, but not all things are expedient; all things are lawful, but not if they bring one under the power of any, making moons of those HaShem designed to be planets. In HaMashiyach there is no disorder. We are to emulate messiah; for all is of the light.

HaShem “puts” the difference between elements of every dichotomy. He therefore “put” the difference between the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. What would life be without the gifts of knowledge, even though we know nothing as we ought?

The knowledge that comes with witness of the spirit holds no error. Error occurs when knowledge is pursued as though it is something apart from life: as though data that is measurable is intrinsically superior to spiritual knowledge, which is intuited from the mist arising from the ground and then affirmed by revelation that comes by the early or the latter rains. Without proper focus in the life that is in HaMashiyach, all that seems to be knowledge will prove to be falsehood as the faces of HaShem become visible.

Only the minds of fallen man would choose to serve knowledge over life; and there are factions within humanity willing to die or to kill for one arm of a particular duality over another. These latter days demonstrate the peril that results from pursuit of knowledge apart from life, itself, which is to say, apart from the spirit of la.

Likewise, there is also a peril in denying the validity of knowledge because it is not perceived to be fruit of the spirit. Who made man a judge over these things? The halves of any dichotomy are in error, and Moses prophesied of the remedy saying, “You shall have no other la before me”; for with a focus fixed in HaShem, duality begins to break down and the unity of all things begins to appear.

HaShem “put” the difference between the trees in the garden, so that man would seek both to know and to understand, even as he “puts” the difference between cattle and cattle, embracing one to provoke jealousy in the other, so that both can be established and perfected as one. Acknowledging duality but maintaining separation in the spirit of HaMashiyach, one is able to stand apart, living in the confluence of opposing energies. To be good or to be bad is really irrelevant. The command is, simply, to be.

By conjecture and reason, the confluence of opposing dynamics is not easy to grasp. Judge not, and it will appear: you will see the good peeking through the lattice of evil, and you will see error peeking through the lattice of Truth. Whether you see or don’t see, error is still error and truth is still truth; and because of their distinctions, the work of messiah as deliverer begins. That work will accomplish the resolution and the restoration of all things.
