And God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness… So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Genesis 26-27.

The essential form of knowledge…is nothing but a representation of truth: for the truth of being and the truth of knowing are one, differing no more than the direct beam and the beam reflected.

From this ‘mirror’ point of view the observer (God) would see the image as a mirror image, in which right and left-hand sides would be reversed. That is to say, the mirror image would not be the same as if seeing another person in front of you, facing you. The mirror image would not be another you, another person as such, but only a reversed picture of yourself. From this interpretation of Genesis i, 26-27 (quoted above), a whole neo-cabalistic philosophy has been devised, in which the cabalistic Tree of Life is turned left to right and right to left in respect of man, the microcosm, in his relationship to God, the Macrocosm.

Such a reversal has fundamental implications, for the right-hand of God, which cabalistically is described as Mercy or Grace and associated with the Wisdom or Word of God that crowns the right-hand side of the Tree, is made to correspond to the left-hand of man. Likewise, the left-hand of God, described as Judgement or Severity and associated with the Holy Intelligence or Understanding that crowns the left-hand side of the Tree, is made to correspond to the right-hand of man. Thus, because the LEFT-—hand side is traditionally considered to be the receptive, reflective, formative ‘feminine’ side and the right-hand side to be the forceful, initiating, creative ‘masculine’ side, mercy is considered in this viewpoint to be a receptive and feminine quality whilst judgement is seen to be a forceful and masculine one, in terms of man the microcosm.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

I think an article about this hypothesis was posted at FR a couple of years ago. It was around the time that Harvard was going to throw a million bucks at the question of the origin of life.

Another “just-so” story. It takes a great imagination to be a scientist these days.
