The Garden of Eden  

At the Garden of Eden, Lilith is the first woman created by God, alongside Adam. As the narrative of the Old Testament goes, Lilith awoke just before Adam, and was asked by God to lay beneath Adam for the birthing of mankind. Lilith revolted, asking for equality, disrespecting God by taking his name. 

Lilith then fled the Garden of Eden, and met Lucifer, God’s fallen angel; who turned Lilith into the goddess of daemons. Then Eve was created from one of the ribs of Adam. 

Our world is built from the fruit of knowledge, which Adam & Eve tasted at the Garden of Eden, before being banished. Then Lilith is the one who can see the kingdom of god & Adam’s world from the outside. She is the outsider who watches. And as She watches, She also sees.     

Lilith is a seer in Adam’s dreaming world. 

The Truce 

Later in the narrative of the Old Testament, after much blood & battle, God made a truce with Lucifer & Lilith, for peace. So Lucifer & Lilith were so strong that God had to surrender. Yes, for the love of God is great. He surrendered for his creation. But … 

Did God not create Lucifer & Lilith too ?!! 🤔 so God created the devil, who he himself mastered & taught and who became more powerful than God himself. Now a true master, is one who is fulfilled only when his disciple outgrows him. Then the master, surrenders to his own disciple, and declares him master. A true creator is surrendered to his creation, he need not surrender for his creation. His creation is his expression of love. Love is God. If God created Lucifer & Lilith, how did they get more powerful than God himself? And if somehow they did, why did God not surrender? He said instead, ‘I’ll keep the kingdom of god, & Adam’s world; you keep the rest.’ – the unknown as we call it. 

The unknown was termed daemonic territory & Lilith was blamed. She still is. This is the root of the fight between Good & Evil, the only knowledge of the Garden of Eden. This is also the root of misunderstanding Tantra – shivas sacred sexual teachings to Shakti, without even touching her. In Tantra, there is no divide, no duality. It says, ’all is divine’.

Oh how questionable Lilith! 

The narrative states that Lilith disobeyed God by asking for equality & disrespected him by taking his name. It’s a narrative that fits so perfectly in Adam’s world today. But was Lilith so strong at awakening that she could disobey & disrespect her own Creator? If yes, why would she even need a Lucifer to uncover her complete feminine potential? Lilith is feminine energy, which is Love. It may manifest & express in many ways but intrinsically ‘She’ is love. 

Could it be then, that Lilith wasn’t asking for equality but only asking God to let love lead the way to life. Asking for the freedom to let love be free? Well if God allowed love to be free then there would be no God left. Love is God. 

Now the narrative terms Lilith the Goddess of the Daemons. If she is so powerful that God had to surrender, and so daemonic to drink the blood of Adam’s babies in revenge; how in hell is humanity still going? Is the Lilith archetype so questionable because she don’t obey & respect, or because She comes from a world we don’t know? 

Amoral Lilith 

There is morality, there is immorality & then there is the fight between the two. Good & evil. Lilith is a fourth kind. She is Amoral. Beyond moral & immoral. Good & Evil. Actually, Lilith don’t know the concept of morality. She has no understanding of it. The world she comes from is not bound by the conditions of Adam’s world. Her world is the vastness of the unknown existence. All is divine. She is more uncultured, raw for Adam’s world, you could say. Her world is free. So she is already transcended the duality of morality. She is Amoral. Thus confusing & immensely misunderstood. 

Lilith is largely misrepresented by the common narrative as a sexy seductress, who drinks the blood of babies & births daemonic babies with Lucifer. The Lilith archetype breathes & lives within us in this world but She is just not of it. Lilith is the one who has been raised in love & freedom. She has been raised not for the world but for existence. She comes from an understanding that a being can only be a medium for existence to another being, not an owner. So she is free to burn her hands to learn that fire can burn & let other beings be the same. Free essentially. She has known love as freedom. Only in freedom can one learn responsibility. Responsible freedom is the playing & growing ground for love. 

Adam’s world is not free, so it loves irresponsibly.

Adam’s dreaming world 

If Lilith were granted a wish, she’d only wish that Adam taste the fruit of life too, before being banished from the Garden of Eden. Lilith has watched Adam’s world dreaming asleep, as a third person, as an outsider. While herself, she has been awake in a world where there is no dreaming. She has watched in amusement sometimes & in pain at other times. Adam is her counterpart. She loves him. 

Essentially, goals, wishes, hopes; they are all dreams. Even in a waking state, if you look into yourself, you can hear the mind, in a future goal, wish, hope; or in a past memory. You will not find the mind in the present. It is constantly projecting its ‘dream’. A dream feels like reality when the mind is asleep. It is all a dream. Not that matter don’t exist. It does. But just like Adam’s world has devices like goals, ambitions, hopes; to keep it asleep. Lilith’s world has devices like, ‘the world is a dream’, to keep it awake. Existence don’t dream. No goals, no ambitions, no hopes. Adam’s dreaming world is just a device, not a theory or a philosophy. 

When there is no dreaming of the past or future, there is the gift of life. Life is in the present, it is the gift of presence and it’s nature is love. Life is to love. When there is no thought, there is love, there is surrender, there is living. Lilith only wishes for Adam to taste the fruit of life, which keeps her awake to watch Adam & his dreaming, yet beautiful world. 

No Lilith without a Lucifer

Lilith seems like a Neo Sanyasin to me 😊. And Lucifer is her master. There is a very intimate spiritual connection between a master & his disciple. It may or may not be romantic but it is intimate & energetic. It has to be, due to the nature of wisdom he is to impart to her. A disciple, despite the gender is always only feminine energy. Only then can a disciple receive sacred wisdom. The feminine is the receiver. Essentially, the disciple must be in love with the master. Surrendered. 

Lilith may not always know, but Lucifer always watches her. He is the ultimate watcher. That is how he teaches her where to watch & how to watch. From an early age, a Lilith will encounter both divine masculine & distorted masculine energy in close proximity. Lucifer does this so she can develop her natural ability to recognize her Adam. Most important masculine relationships in her life will be with men who are of divine masculine archetype or awakened potential. Their nature is love. They have all been her teachers at some point on her journey. All been preparing her for her role. 

Lilith’s potential is in birthing not just babies, but herself & also the new man. 

Lucifer’s love for Lilith 

Lucifer teaches Lilith many important lessons in love, surrender & freedom. He keeps her awake, non-attached & non-averse to the world of Adam, only allowing her to watch. The greatest wisdom he imparts to her, only to play her role in her ‘leela’; is to complete herself without Adam. One, ‘Coz all bets are off on when Adam will wake up to the present. Two, if she needs Adam’s love to give him love, love will die. Love’s only need is to give love. Adam’s world today, has proved that a woman needs no man, except for physical intimacy. That too, well … another day …

Lucifer has to have deep & pure intimacy with Lilith to impart sacred wisdom to her. To complete herself alone. Even the need for physical intimacy. He completes her in aloneness. Tantra is one such scared teaching of shiva to shakti. He has imparted scared sexual wisdom to her, only through techniques & meditations, without touching her. He teaches her how to exist in an orgasmic state of consciousness with existence, without even touching her.
A good chunk of Tantra, is filled with meditative techniques for her to experience completeness even without Shiva. When shakti is receiving love from existence itself, source itself, she don’t need even shiva. Then from that space she can give herself as Love. Love only wants to give. When one is complete in their own being as love, then one can give themselves as Love to another. The feminine is the receiver, she only has love to give.
It is shiva’s love for shakti. Shakti herself has her aspects of Lilith in kali, Durga & many more. Siva is shakti’s counterpart in every aspect. He knows the power he holds over her & tantra is his expression of love to empower her totally, because he cannot spill his Sperm. He is not just her counterpart, shiva is also Shakti’s master. There is love, there is surrender, there is deep understanding & there is respect on both sides. 

Lucifer & Lilith’s common goal 

But in Adam’s world, the counterparts are separated, so a Lucifer is needed to impart the wisdom of completion. A Radha is separated from krishna, a Mary is separated from Jesus, a Sita from Ram, a Romeo from Juliet, a Laila from majnu, and the list goes on. Lucifer Gives Lilith a direct source of love from existence itself, so she don’t need or depend on the love of Adam. But he keeps her love for Adam alive. Why? I’ve wondered! A recent understanding is, It isn’t essentially Adam or his world that Lucifer is directly interested in. He is only interested in keeping Lilith’s love alive. He needs that love in her for her to complete. It naturally just happens to flow to Adam. 

They each have a role to play in her ‘leela’ (play) & their roles have a common goal. To keep love alive Coz love is god. 

Misunderstood Lilith 

Lilith seems to be existing for God, ‘Coz love is God; yet she is probably the most misunderstood mythological character, after God himself. Today, she is not a myth. She is a living, breathing being amongst us. It maybe hard to spot her or if she’s spotted, to understand her. The sexy, seductive, bold, woman has become the face of Lilith. There is an air of mystery & a certain magnetic pull in a Lilith, because of the world she comes from. It’s mystical, it’s unknown. But Lilith, may not be a fit with the common narrative of the ‘wild woman’. What she will definitely be is ‘in the world but not of it’. 

Lilith is definitely, 

Raw, May or may not be bold  

Sensual, May or may not be sexy 

Surrendered, May or May not be suppressed 

Complete, never arrogant

Alone, never lonely 

Innocent, not naive 

Magnetic, not seductive 

She is all of these, she need not become. There is no need for her to bare her body to become attractive to man. She is attractive to Man. Lilith & Adam were created to be attractive to each other. There is no acting, her role is written for her. She don’t need to try to be what she already is. In the same way, Neither does Adam. The thing is, Lilith is all of this and so much more, ‘Coz she don’t know at all what she is. She don’t know she is all of this. All she knows is that she is of existence and she is nothing.
There is a mystical innocence to her. A knowing of that which is & no knowing of Adam’s world at all. She is always ready to learn what is known. Lilith knows how to watch & that is enough to learn. She knows nothing else. She knows only the unknown & The unknown is nothing. So she knows she is nothing. But To understand her, Adam needs to un-know all that he knows, to know that which is unknown. There is a ‘world’ between them. Adam’s dreaming world. 

Waking up 

Lilith is of the vastness of existence. She already knows she is not. Lilith too, lives in the ‘I am not’, where love lives. When ‘I am not’ love is. Now Adam’s world is a reality too. A dreaming one but a reality, none the less. Adam’s world cannot exist without ‘I am’. Lilith is not against or for Adam’s world. She is for him, thereby all his world. She just wishes for him to be awake in his dreaming world. So, She feeds his ‘I’ through her ‘I am not’. In a way that feeds the ‘I’ and yet wakes him up to life. To end the dream & birth the living. 

There are only Two ways to wake up from the dream. A constant conscious awareness of ‘I am’ or ‘I am not’. When all that is true is ‘I am’ then everything else is just meaningless, a dream. Then the only question is who am ‘I’ if ‘I am’. This question leads to the same place as ‘I am not’. The more we enquire into ‘I’, the more we find that ‘I am not’. When ‘I am not’, dreams are not. That is why an awakening leads to ego death. That acceptance of all that ‘I’ know is that ‘I’ know nothing at all. It’s all false. It is a hard pill to swallow. Many enlightened masters have used this technique for jolting awakened consciousness in their disciples. Bhagwan Raman Maharshi for example. Now,

When all that is true is ‘I am not’ then everything is not, it is all a dream. Only a few enlightened masters have used this technique as it is more suited to the intrinsic feminine nature. All enlightened beings in women’s bodies have used this technique. It is faster, yes, but also more painful as the drop is steep. Straight from ‘I’ to ‘I am not’. 

The duality of Lilith & Adam

Shiva has taught shakti this through technique & Bhagwan has simplified it, saying 

‘If you are, then the whole reality is just a dream. If you are not, then the dreaming becomes a reality’. 

Adam’s ‘I am’ and Lilith’s ‘I am not’ are two faces of the same coin of duality. They are Yin Yang. They balance each other to transcend the dreaming state. As her ‘I am not’ awakens more & more to the truth, his ‘I am’ will die to the false. ‘I’ is the dream, from which comes the dreaming world, from which comes another dreaming ‘I’. It’s a vicious circle. There is no end for lifetimes at a stretch, unless the dreaming stops. We do a million things in our life and find ourselves getting bored with everything. Some get bored quickly, and some take time. But eventually all get bored of everything. In existence, Lilith’s world, the world itself is a dream, ‘Coz she is not. There is no boredom, ‘Coz only ‘I’ can get bored. 

How many lifetimes does one want to go through these series of boredoms? It’s the same cycle of momentary joy & then back to boredom. The boredom is because the dream is. Mind always needs something to project. That is why when there is no dreaming, you cannot exist. There is no presence beyond past & future. the dreaming is a way to suppress the present. because the present is life less. there is no love. So you push away the present, the gift, life itself. Love is life. The Buddhas say, one who gets bored easily is an old soul of much wisdom, contrary to the common narrative that if you’re bored easily, you’re not focused, grounded or you’re lazy. In truth? It’s Better to be done with the dreaming, let it drop one at a time; so destiny can unfold, so living can begin. 

Adam wants to be needed, but needs to be loved 

Adam’s human condition is one that wants to be needed but needs to be loved. Lilith is incapable of giving him what he wants, ‘Coz she is complete in her existence, and she don’t know Adam’s wants. She don’t even know his world. Lilith is not. She needs nothing. She knows Love, so she has life, & the rest is a dream. Lilith IS, to give Adam what he needs. Love. ❤️

Only When Adam has love, can he give his World Love. The gift of presence.

You can’t always get what you want, but you always get what you need. 😊
