Carlo Suares (1892–1976)

THE CIPHER OF GENESIS

UNDERLYING THE LITERAL, interpretations of Genesis,
there exists a level of meaning that transcends the notion
of a personal God and transforms the significance of the
creation myth: woman does not issue from a rib of Adam;
she is not called Eve; she does not disobey; there is no
question of sin. Carlo Suares presents here a profound
interpretation of the Bible based on intimate knowledge of
the Qabala and its relationship to biblical revelation. The
Qabalistic code, or "cipher," that he uses originates in the
Hebrew letters and words. The letters are dynamic symbols,
which represent aspects of energy that shape the forces of
the Universe.

Suarès goes back to the original Hebrew "number-letters"
in which the Old Testament was written, removes myths and
stories that resulted from mere translation of words, and
presents a psychological experience that is not historical
but is evolving for each one now.
