Why ?
While we are asked to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is Perfect.
I will answer: The cosmic incomprehension of humanity.
We got our hands on the problem.
First, we need to explore the spiritual boundaries here.
Do you know that Adam is not the name of the first man, but what determines the DNA of all humans, not only those who stand on two feet called man and woman, but all those who we received the same inheritance, the precious red Blood 🩸 which for lack of a better word is translated from Hebrew as Adam in man, which in reality in its original language means Red.

Preface
“According to the ancient Chaldean tradition, the Book of Adam or Nazarene Code, would have been sent by God to the first Man after his fall into Matter, so that he could guide and enlighten himself on the harsh path of life. terrestrial life, and manage to escape from it to reintegrate its original state.
Tradition also affirms that this sacred book would have been given to Adam by the ministry of the angel Raphael, tutelary power and ruler of the planet Mercury.
It is the Sabeans (1) or Mandaites, sect of the Christians of Saint John of ancient Syria (the Aram of the Bible), who have completely preserved this strange document, the discovery of which we owe at the beginning of the 19th century to Germano Conti, a Maronite priest from Aleppo.
The name Mandaîtes comes from Mandai, a word from the Chaldaic or Syriac dialect, which precisely means science, gnosis or knowledge. It is practically the equivalent of Gnostic (2) and we can deduce that it is probably one of the numerous sects descended from the ancient Gnostics.
We also find in the story, the name of Manda-di-haï (also called Yavar and a host of other names), the Prophet having the knowledge of Life, of Gnosis, of the Logos, and who addresses Adam to inform him of the destiny of the human race.
It is perhaps useful to briefly recall the origins of earthly life and that of Adam, in particular, to better understand the meaning of the story.
According to different sources, the literal meaning of the name Adam is “red”. Particularly according to Hebrew tradition, which refers to the red race or first race, that of the Atlanteans.
Adamah in Hebrew, from which Adam was derived, would mean “taken from the earth”, formed from red clay. There is also a certain relationship between the name Adam, taken as a type of humanity, and the Latin word humus, “earth”, very close to homo and humanus.
Note also that the Hebrew damah means “like”, and a damah, “like God”.
But it is much more certain that the name Adam takes its origin from the Hebrew dam, “blood” (which is common to Hebrew and Arabic), from the very fact that blood is specifically the red liquid which characterizes the human and animal kingdom. Especially since blood is the support and vehicle of vitality itself, that is to say of the life that animates us.
Blood constitutes one of the body’s links to the soul.
(nephesh haiah of Genesis; cf. Genesis IX (1), Leviticus XVII
(43), Deuteronomy XII (23); in the etymological sense “anima”, the animating or vivifying principle of being.
We will notice the importance of the color red in symbolism in general, and in Hermetic symbolism in particular. The color red and blood precisely characterize the animal kingdom, but also: Mars and iron, Fire and solar perfection. The red rose being the symbol of the alchemical Work carried out to the final stage of its realization (1), well after obtaining the “blood of the Dragon”. And saffron red powder, “projection powder” and “philosopher’s stone” being a condensation of life capable of revitalizing the sick and dying.
Let us also note that in heraldry, no one was entitled to the color red or “mouth” in their coat of arms, unless they were a prince or noble of high lineage. In coat of arms, red is a symbol of virtue, charity, greatness of soul, magnanimity, valor and boldness.
Let us also point out, among the derivatives of the root Adam, the word Edom, which means “red” and which only differs in writing by the vowel points. In the Bible, Edom is the nickname of Esau, hence the name Edomites given to his descendants. This is reminiscent of the “Seven Kings of Edom” spoken of in the Zohar, and Edom’s close resemblance to Adam may not be unrelated. »
