(91) For when Man fell into Sin, he was removed out of the innermost Birth or Geniture, and set or put into the other two, which presently embraced him, and so mixed, qualified, or united with him and in him, as in their own Propriety, and so Man instantly received the Spirit, and all Generations or Productions of the astral Birth, and also of the outermost Birth or Geniture. [See v. 39. and ch. 21. v. 11.]

(29) Now as Man in his outward Being is corrupted, and as to his fleshly Birth or Getiture is in the Wrath of God, and is moreover also an Enemy of God, and yet is but one Man, and not two; and on the other hand, in his spiritual Birth or Geniture he is a Child and Heir of God, who rules and lives with God, and qualifies, mixes, or unites with the innermost Birth or Geniture of God; thus also is the Place of this World come to be.

(22) [paragraph continues] Of this fuller nature the mortal man has little comprehension. Just as spirit contains matter within itself and is both the source and ultimate of the state denominated matter, so Eve represents the lower, or mortal, portion that is taken out of, or has temporal existence in the greater and fuller spiritual creation. Being representative of the inferior part of the individual, Eve is the temptress who, conspiring with the serpent of mortal knowledge, caused Adam to sink into a trancelike condition in which he was unconscious of his own higher Self. When Adam seemingly awoke, he actually sank into sleep, for he no longer was in the spirit but in the body; division having taken place within him, the true Adam rested in Paradise while his lesser part incarnated in a material organism (Eve) and wandered in the darkness of mortal existence.

(130) For Man is made out of all the Powers of God, out of all the seven Spirits of God, as the Angels also are. But now seeing Man is corrupted, therefore the divine Birth does not always spring, qualify, or operate in him; no, nor in all Men neither: And though indeed it springs in him, yet the high Light does not presently shine in all Men; and though indeed it shines, yet it is incomprehensible to the corrupted Nature. [* See v. 69.]

(37) But when he saw that he was so fair and beautiful, and found or felt his inward Birth and great Power or Authority, then his Spirit, which he had generated in his Body, which is his ANIMAL (or animated) or Life-spirit, or Son, or Heart, exalted itself, intending to triumph over the divine Birth, and to lift up or extol itself above the Heart of God. Note, The Author calls the soulish Birth the ANIMAL Birth, from Anima, which signifies the Soul; but seeing the Scripture otherwise understands by the Word Animal the perished or corrupted Soul, or Animalem hominem, the Animal Man, or the corrupted natural Man, that is, the Adamical bestial Man, and so he being advertised of it, he altered that Expression, and used it no more any further. Here observe the Depth.
