The Seed of Cain
    #28564166 - 12/01/23 06:10 PM (1 month, 26 days ago)

Please share with ye what you know of the Son of Adam named Cain?
…they say he was accursed with Serpent Skin. That Cain’s seed will be destroyed because the Blood of Abel defiled the land?

Quote:

The brothers are two sides or aspects in each one of us. We all have in us both
Cain and Abel. Abel’s name literally means “breath,” that is, “spirit”; and Cain’s
name means “he who is created.” Abel is the individuality in us, that aspect of our
being which is a Good Shepherd, the divine Christ spirit, or higher nature. Cain, on
the other hand, is the personality that is created each lifetime and produces “fruit of
the ground,” rather than of the spirit; it is our lower nature. Cain is the elder brother,
because our higher nature is derived from or built up out of the experience of the
earthly self; in each incarnation we absorb into the permanent individuality the good
fruits of the personality, which thus become permanent by being incorporated into
the reincarnating individuality.

The personality cannot make offerings directly to the divine, but only through
the individuality. The personality’s offerings are not directly acceptable to the divine
nature, but must be mediated by the higher nature. Cain’s slaying of Abel is a
dramatic presentation of a personal life that is severed from its guiding individuality.
The “slaying” in this case is like that of The Voice of the Silence, in which we are told
that “the Mind is the great Slayer of the Real.” Abel is the Real, which is “slain,” that
is, rejected and abandoned by Cain, the physical mind.

Who would Cain have married, being the first generation from Adam?

Although there was no firmly established prohibition against incest, at the time, it is also suggested that humankind might sometimes have interbred with angelic beings, the illicit sex act creating demi-humans.

It is argued that only mankind was made in the image of God, that God became as a man and walked among men, and died as a man for the sins of humankind, only.

Demons and their offspring were presumably irredeemable.

(There is now superstition against tampering with one's germline, having originally been made in the image of God.)

Some people (not in the usual 66 books of Scripture) believe that Lilith was Adam's first wife but would not submit.

Then, there are these occasional accounts of descendants of Adam peopling the continents and finding these unexplained humans / humanoids.

In one iteration, those fallen ones are instructed by Enoch to repent before God, although there was no formal procedure established for remittance of sin.

Does God accept, on a case-by-case basis? Is there a zero-tolerance policy?

An interpretation of Genesis 6 is that the great flood was meant to cleanse the Earth of genetic monsters.

On peopling Canaan, the Israelites are supposed to genocide the demi-humans.

Or, God is supposed to drive them out.

Or, after the 10th(?) generation of bastards, they are regarded as fit to rejoin religious life in the temple.

Babylonian Talmud
Midrash
The Alphabet of Ben-Sira
Zohar


I think ,people have been disusing and possibly invoking Lilith in the modern era, so there would be alot more contemporary writings.
