Adam Kadmon
In the religious writings of
Kabbalah,
Adam Kadmon phrase means "Primordial Man," or "Primal Man." Comparable to the Anthropos of
Gnosticism and
Manichaeism. However, in Lurianic
Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon had acquired much more exalted status, equivalent to
Purusha in
Upanishads, denoting the Manifest Absolute itself, while Adam Soul, primeval Soul that contained all human souls is described in different terms in this variant of mythopoetic cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis.
