1188. So, it was not good that "the man should be alone". No, it certainly was not because if he had been alone, "Adam" would never have been transformed into the "perfect human being" who was to appear in "God's image after His likeness". "Adam" was of course, as previously mentioned, a being that certainly promoted the fulfilment of the highest laws applicable to its step or life experience, but only as an automatic function and not as a function of its "awake" day-consciousness. Its knowledge of "eating of the tree of knowledge" lay so far back in a previous spiral that it day-consciously remembered nothing of this knowledge, the experiencing of which as an automatic function had of course long since been superseded by the fulfilling of that spiral's highest laws of life, which were now the all-dominating automatic function in the being. It was thus merely a "being of instinct", which means, a being whose life was now formed by its previous spiral's "cosmic consciousness" at such an advanced state of degeneration that the being was no longer wakefully day-conscious of it. And since it did not have any physical thought function other than "inklings" on the physical plane, where it had just begun to gain an organism, it is evident that such an "Adam" was not a finished being; it was not the being that fulfilled the divine plan or the highest intention for the living being. And God could not of course consider anything that could prevent this plan being carried out. And this hindrance thus consisted of the circumstance that "Adam" (the being or the form of life) existed only as a "solitary sex". Such a species of being could never "sin", which means, that it could never experience beings whose nature was contrary to its own. All "sin" consists, as will be remembered, of the manifestation of phenomena contrary to the fulfilment of the laws of life.
