To better feel the link between the words that manifest the Creation and thereafter the physical rules by which you live today – PLEASE DO NOT JUST WHISPER THESE WORDS, BUT RATHER, READ THESE IMPORTANT WORDS NOW OUT LOUD.

The key word and name ‘Adam’ (Adam, man), and the three words that are directly related to it: a•da•ma (earth, soil, ground); ‘dam,’ ‘blood’; and ‘adom’ ‘red’, sound almost identical, except for the addition of the ‘ah’ sound at the end of the word adama and the omission of that ‘ah’ sound at the beginning of ‘dan.’ With ‘adom’ you just add ‘o’ between the letter ‘Dalet’ and ‘Mem’ (the Hebrew ‘D’ and ‘M).’ It begins to look like a secret metaphysical formula that God has infused into the Hebrew language in order to mirror his Creation by uncontested, unarguable physical facts to which every human being can attest!

The emotional link to the story of creation and its key word ‘adam’ comes by the word ‘de•ma,’ tears. Doesn’t it sound surprising that tears ‘de•ma’ and blood ‘dam’ are almost the same word in Hebrew? Let’s look closely at the minute, but meaningful difference between the two. Blood ‘dam,’ is written with two letters: ‘Dalet’ and ‘Mem.’ Tears ‘de•ma’ is written with three letters: ‘Dalet’ Men’ and ‘Ayin.’ ‘Ayin’ means in Hebrew ‘an eye,’ almost the same as it sounds in English. Hence, tears are the ‘blood of the eyes.’ Note that emission of both from the body is called shedding. While shedding blood usually indicates an injury of the body, shedding tears depicts injury of the soul. This is the emotional link that connects between Adam-adama-dam-adom-dema. We were created with the capacity of crying and this connection was built in mankind and its Divine mirror tool − the Hebrew tongue! The close connection between the physical, perceptual elements defies now the slightest chance of coincidence. The chain: Adam-adama-dam-adom-dema, man-ground-blood-red-tears, is the metaphorical mirror of God’s language in the physical word.
