God created Adam and Eve in His image and likeness. In the beginning, they did not have a body like ours. They were made as He is: spiritual beings. The flesh we know today—skin, organs, mortality—did not exist in that original state. What we are now is the result of what changed after the spiritual fall. We were clothed with a material body, destined for corruption, so that through it we could be saved from the spirit’s eternal death—if we choose it. The choice is voluntary: the death of the body was preferable to the definitive loss of the soul. The spirit itself does not cease to exist; fallen spirits still exist, but instead of living in God’s light, they dwell in eternal darkness. Our Creator did not want that perpetual death to reach us, and that is why He gave us this opportunity to return to the origin through transformation.
And then the question arises: What is transformation? The beginning of transformation is reconciliation with the Creator. When that happens, God gives us a new spirit—His Spirit—so that we can overcome malice day by day in our lives. With the Spirit of the Creative Source, it is not difficult, because He Himself rejects malice within us. Although our eyes cannot see that inner change, it occurs. And the complete change—in our body—will be fulfilled at the time appointed by God.
If we understand the story of the beginning correctly, we understand everything. When the fallen angel, taking the form of a serpent, told Eve that they would be like God in their capacity to judge good and evil, he planted a seed of rebellion in her mind without her realizing it. We, as created beings, do not possess within ourselves a perfect standard for what is good or evil. We can only learn it from the Creative Source. In other words, not independently of God—which is precisely what the serpent made Eve believe she could achieve. In that matter, our dependence is total. That is why, when we enter covenant with God, there is only one requirement: to remain faithful to His Word with commitment, because we are free and that decision is always voluntary. Submission to God protects us from evil—plain and simple. Dealing with evil is not a children’s game, because evil destroys like death. Evil is death.
What the serpent did was manipulate Eve’s mind. That was the beginning of manipulation and deception in human history, and to this day it continues to manifest itself so that we do not see evil or master it. Since then, the Conspirator has kept using the same strategy to darken the truth and keep humanity under his foot—when it is humanity that has the power to put him under ours. And that manipulation is not limited to spiritual matters; it extends into every area of life.
A perfume advertisement does not simply sell you a fragrance; it sells you the idea that with it you will have success, beauty, and acceptance. That is manipulation—deception and illusion—bright, shiny wrappers. The same happens in political speeches: people are told that if they do not support a certain candidate, they will lose their safety or their future. A woman in a romantic relationship or friendship can also use the charm of manipulation to achieve her own interests, just as a man can. In every case, a false idea is implanted that looks like truth and leads a person to act against their own freedom. The manipulated person’s behavior responds to the design of the manipulator, not to an autonomous choice. And when there is no autonomous choice—because the mind has been maneuvered by thoughts that serve the interests of the one manipulating—freedom is lost.
History also shows how manipulation reached massive proportions. During the Nazi regime, Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels perfected the art of controlling crowds. Through constant repetition, the use of fear, and the exaltation of symbols, they convinced an entire people to accept lies as truth. But it is important to remember: they did not invent that technique; they only refined it. Its true origin is at the beginning, when the serpent deceived Eve by planting in her mind the illusion that she could become “higher” without dependence on God. Today those same techniques continue to operate in many areas of life. Recognizing their true origin invites us to reflect on which voices we listen to, which messages we believe, and which seeds we allow to grow in our minds and hearts—because in doing so we create our reality, and we could lose our freedom without realizing it.
Eve did not realize it. She ignored—or rejected—the possible danger alarm of her discernment, which could have warned her about that thought the Conspirator casually placed in her mind. Her mind was being worked on. The seed should not have fallen into fertile ground; it should not have taken root. Eve had the opportunity to abort the idea, but she did not, because her discernment was inactive. She allowed it to grow, believing in her heart that the serpent’s words were true, and the transgression was consummated. That unchallenged thought grew until it convinced her she would be like God—but without dependence on Him for discerning good and evil. In separating herself from Him, she broke the covenant of faithfulness to God’s Word—specifically, the covenant not to join ourselves to evil, because we were not created for that. We were created for communion with the Good, with the Light that is God.
We can become like Him in nature, but we will never be God in the sense of possessing inherent attributes, because God is uncreated. It is true that, as His children, we can participate in His divinity—but that participation is not automatic. What happened in the beginning requires a process: transformation, which begins when we reconcile with the Father.
A human being who lives only at the level of the animal does not participate in that divinity. As long as a person remains in that condition, the journey has not even begun, because they have not come into agreement with their Creator. It is true that human beings have qualities animals do not—language, consciousness, moral capacity—but what brings us into God’s kingdom is not those natural differences. It is reconciliation and inner transformation.
Until that process begins, we continue living in a lower order, subject to matter and its limitations. Until transformation starts, we remain in the common human condition, governed by what is visible and temporary. Without that beginning, we continue living in what is earthly, not yet participating in what comes from above.
Transformation does not eliminate the body; it makes the body participate in another reality. We are no longer subject to the same limitations, because the Spirit opens in us another way of existing. This body we live in now will also be transformed when God’s plan is completed—a plan in which we have active participation if we desire it, precisely because we are free beings. In a passage where God speaks to Adam, He says: “…if you keep hardening your heart in transgression, you will remain under a curse forever.” So yes—our participation matters in the fulfillment of God’s plan. If we do not understand and recognize this cycle, it does not close. Together with God, we have the power to close it. The day humanity keeps the Word—meaning, the day we stop doing evil—we will dominate evil, we will crush the serpent’s head, and bingo: a new spiritual cycle. The earth restored—not destroyed—the Garden opened, and we with spiritual bodies that do not die, suffer, or grow weary.
God is in the business of saving souls from darkness. With regard to us, that is His number one interest. In the Spirit, the physical body does not disappear, but it no longer rules. By this I mean: the animal mind and the animal self step aside to make room for the spiritual mind and the spiritual self, with its incredible power—power that goes beyond the physical. It begins to reflect the spiritual nature of light that dwells within it, creating an equilibrium between spirit and matter, where we live and move daily. They respect one another so we can live in harmony—so that we may have peace and contentment while our feet are still on the earth.
Transformation, then, happens right here, in this body. It is not about “dominating the body” or “controlling it,” but about the body harmonizing with the Spirit—about it reflecting the life from above, even while our feet remain on the earth. Jesus showed this in an extraordinary way, for example when he walked on water: he was not a spirit; he was in his physical body, and yet gravity did not sink him. Why did he not do that constantly? Because it was not about living as if floating, but about showing us that such capacity exists when the body and the Spirit are in full unity and harmony. And he himself said that those who believe in God will do the same works—and even greater. We live in a body and on the earth, and the earth is equipped with gravity so that matter does not wander aimlessly through the universe. But when we live a life in the Spirit, there are moments when we can be released from those limitations—just as Jesus was.
After the transgression, our first parents were commanded to leave the Garden and live on the earth:
“And Elohim said to Adam, ‘I have appointed over this earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall stand upon it until the days and years are fulfilled, until the Words that created you, and the Words that brought you out of the garden after your transgression, are spoken—yes, until the Word is kept again, after five and a half days, and it is fulfilled.’”
This passage shows something essential: God established a time framework so that Adam’s descendants would have the opportunity to choose salvation and light—or not. And the completion of that decree will come when humanity—those who choose it—keeps the Word again. That means learning to dominate evil by no longer obeying it. The days of the earth as we know it are numbered, but a glorious renewal awaits it when the children of God close the cycle of the time appointed. When that day comes, we will go out with joy and be led in peace. The mountains and hills will break forth in singing before us, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of thorns, cypress will grow; myrtle will rise in place of nettles. This will be for the Lord’s renown, an everlasting sign that will not fail.”
The Garden was the state of unity with God. By transgressing, that unity was broken, and they were clothed with skin and flesh. Expelled, they lived standing upon the earth, subject to time and death. It is important to note: the punishment was not only “leaving the Garden,” but becoming subject to the adamah, to the earth itself. Before that, Adam was in a spiritual, luminous state, not governed by gravity or physical limitations. After the transgression, he was required to live “standing”—that is, in a heavy body, upright on the earth. No longer as a light being of Eden, but as a being of earth, supported by feet that tread dust, under the law of time and gravity.
God had already said it: the day they disobeyed by breaking the covenant, they would die. And that death is not the one we experience in this body, but the spirit’s death in eternal darkness. Here mercy appears: so that we could be saved from darkness, God gave us a material body. It was the first incarnation. That is why, when Adam saw the change from his spiritual body to one covered with skin, he said to Eve with sorrow: “What is our body today compared to what it was in former days, when we lived in the garden? Our eyes once beheld angels praising in heaven, and they also beheld us without ceasing. But now our eyes have become flesh and cannot see as before.”
According to this tradition, the Lord had made them fit to live in the Garden, and when they had to leave because of the breach of the covenant, He had to alter them to make them fit to live in a material world—because the Garden was a portion of the Kingdom or domain of God on earth, and that is spiritual. To make them fit, He clothed their being with skin. The text says: “But when I learned of your transgression, I deprived you of this bright light. Yet in My mercy I will not turn you into darkness; I have made you a body of flesh, and I have given you skin that can endure cold and heat.” In other words, God was helping them so they would not become eternal darkness.
The tradition that says they were naked and God covered them with skins can be correctly understood in light of this. At one point God told them they had descended into the animal world. God clothed them with skin, and their spiritual body was altered into flesh—and in this ancient tradition, “flesh” meant “animal.” They were naked of the light, the radiance of God with which they had been covered, and He gave them skin and flesh.
When Scripture speaks of their nakedness, it is not about lacking clothing the way we think today. Nakedness meant the divine covering of light around them had been withdrawn. Before, they were clothed with the glory of God; in transgression, that light departed and they were left “naked.” It was not that God killed animals to make garments, but that their bodily condition was altered: they passed from a spiritual, non-biological body to an animal, material body subject to hunger, fatigue, and gravity. In other words, they passed from the spiritual domain to the earthly—or animal—domain.
When the violation of spiritual law occurred, their form remained, but the “radiance,” the light that illuminated them, was removed. That was the light or Spirit of God within them. When the fallen angels transgressed, their bodies became darkness because God’s light departed from them. The text says: “But the angel transgressed, and I made him fall from heaven to the earth, and this darkness was what came with him.” But to Adam and Eve He said: “If I had let all My wrath fall upon you and upon Eve, I would have destroyed you, turning you into darkness, and it would have been as though I had killed you.”
If they had not been transformed into a physical condition, they would have received the fallen angels’ eternal death. Fallen spirits are not “dead” in the sense of physical mortality; they exist in an eternal spiritual condemnation, without God’s presence and light. But in this body, we have the opportunity to return to the Creator and attain spiritual transformation—to return to our origin, to the form in which we were created, and to recover the immense power we lost.
Our life can reach unimaginable levels in the power of the Spirit, but for that we must learn to overcome evil in daily life. And that is not impossible, because God gives us a new spirit, with the power and the will not to harm ourselves or others once we make peace with Him.
Jesus was not the only one who lived a life transformed by the Spirit. Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Deborah, and others also displayed clear signs of transformation and the power of God’s Spirit. However, Jesus was given the special task of teaching us how to live it and showing us that we, too, could experience it. That is why, when he said, “I and the Father are one,” he was not proclaiming himself to be God; he was pointing to the spiritual unity that every human being can recover by reconciling with Him. Something similar appears in the Life of Adam and Eve, where Eve, remembering her creation, says: “O Lord, he and I are one, and You, O Elohim, are our Creator.” This does not mean she or Adam were God, but that they shared the spiritual unity with which they were created. God created us from His Spirit so that we might participate in His unique nature. And just as He brought forth from His Spirit His son, He also brought Eve out of Adam’s spirit, so that together they would experience a unique and complete union. The creation of our first parents was the product of God’s immense love.
You have probably heard of the modern belief in soulmates and “twin flames.” This modern belief comes from Plato. The earliest known formulation appears in The Symposium, where the character Aristophanes tells a symbolic myth: in the beginning, he says, human beings were spherical, with two faces, four arms, and four legs. They were so powerful that the gods divided them into two halves. Since then, each half searches for its lost other half—its “soulmate.” This myth was not literal; Plato used it as a metaphor for the human longing for unity and inner wholeness, not for a predestined partner. Over time, however, it was interpreted in romantic or spiritual terms. Later influences also shaped the belief: Eastern ideas, Gnosticism, Christian esotericism, Romanticism, occultism, and the New Age. In other words, as time passed, human imagination added new layers to the Greek philosopher’s interesting and compelling presentation. Still, I am of the opinion that this belief comes, in some distorted form, from ancient memories—ancient as the creation of the first couple formed by God.
Six years ago I had never heard of the idea of “twin flames.” In other words, this topic became familiar to me only recently. If you have heard the introduction to the channel, you may remember that I told you that what you would hear here are my own experiences and studies on this surprising path of the Spirit. I do not believe in “twin flames” or in Plato’s myth as truth, but as fantasy. However, I do believe in spiritual unions made by God. And I believe this because of what God showed me in a night vision. This is therefore a personal belief of mine, but I think that, given the theme of unity we are developing, it may bring light to some.
What I saw in that dream was wonderful—so much so that I did not want it to end. God showed me the very moment in which I was united to the being He had created for me, and therefore the one for whom I had been created. Spiritual unions are not like physical ones. It is a spiritual union. We were facing each other, very close, looking into each other’s eyes. God made me feel the intense sensations of love we had. I have no words to describe them, but they were marvelous.
What did I take from such a beautiful dream? First, I knew who that person was. Also, that spiritual unions are real and are made directly by God. Those unions are expressed in Eve’s words: “O Lord, he and I are one, and You, O Elohim, are our Creator.” The phrase “what God has joined together, let no man separate” applies to what God has joined, as I have just explained. It does not refer to the vast majority of earthly unions, which can end.
These unions, which are the most common on earth, often respond to human impulses, not spiritual ones. Most unions in this world arise from natural motivations, such as: physical or sexual attraction—what first draws attention and awakens desire, a biological and emotional impulse; the need for companionship or affection—the fear of loneliness or the need to feel loved; convenience or security—seeking economic, social, or emotional stability more than a deep bond; habit or social pressure—the idea that one “must have a partner” or “must form a family,” leading to unions that are not born from the soul but from the environment. These unions are not necessarily evil, but they are built on what is temporary, on what changes over time—and the love one believed one had can fade.
The union the Spirit makes, however, is not temporary but forever. Even if a person wanted to break it, they could not, because it is held together by the bonds of God’s love, which endure forever. That is why God told us not to try to break that union, because even if our bodies were separated, we could never stop feeling the intense love God placed within us for that person. As Eve said: God created Adam from His Spirit and then drew Eve from the “side” of Adam’s spirit. Eve could say with confidence: Adam, I, and the Creator are one—in a perfect union of love. Those who believe in God and have not yet found the love of their life should ask with confidence that God bring them the partner He created for them, because such a partner exists.
One more word about what I saw in the dream: spiritual bodies have a form like ours, but they are not made of flesh. I saw my body and my spiritual partner’s body filled with something that Eve calls “flesh” in her book, but it is not flesh. It is a translucent nature—not like clean glass you can see completely through, but not dense and opaque like our bodies either. I understand why the Life of Adam and Eve uses the word “radiance,” but human language cannot fully describe what the spiritual body is, though it gives us an idea. That is how I understood that true spiritual love is not searched for—it is revealed—because it was conceived by God from the beginning.
When the process of transformation begins, the body stops being an obstacle. Instead of blocking the spiritual, it opens and lets it pass. It is like glass: if it is opaque, light cannot pass through; if it is clean and transparent, light flows. The same happens with the body: without the Spirit, we live only in the material; with transformation, the body reflects the life from above—which is spiritual—and allows it to manifest.
Certain verses—such as those in John or Philippians that say, “Who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped”—were later used to teach that Jesus was God. However, if we follow the story from the beginning, we see that Jesus recovered what Adam lost: unity with the Father. These passages contain a half-truth, and that is why they are not clearly understood. Because when Adam and Eve were created, it could be said that they were “in the form of God.” That is why it is not strange that Psalm 82 says: “I said, ‘You are gods, all of you are children of the Most High; nevertheless, you will die like men; you will fall like any ruler.’” In simple terms, that psalm summarizes the story of the beginning: God created us from His Spirit, but by yielding to the manipulation of darkness, we lost our condition as legitimate children in that sense.
In Jesus’ time, this understanding was still clear. But over time, Jesus’ words were given a different meaning. Jesus could say plainly, “The Father and I are one,” because he had recovered the unity that belonged to us from the beginning—just as Eve spoke of being “one” with Adam: one in the spiritual and original sense, not in the sense of being God. Let us remember that transformation is not a miracle reserved for a few, but the path of return God designed for everyone. The incarnation of Jesus was not the only one, nor the first, because incarnation began with our first parents. What was truly exceptional in Jesus’ life—as an example for us—was his spiritual transformation and the way he lived it during his material life in this world.
