Türkçe English Deutsch Italiano Français Ελληνικά Kurdî Español The True Face of the Myth of Adam, Lilit, Eve In order to understand myths, it is necessary to comprehend mythology very well. With urbanisation and the transition to state civilisation, human beings are separated from their social essence and pushed out of sociality. The transition to state civilisation brings with it a great rupture. It builds itself on the legacy of the first "Social Village-Urban and Matriarchal Golden Age" that preceded it. A war begins between the city-state order of the masculine mind and the sacred and rural matriarchal social order. According to some written sources, this war lasted for three thousand years; the first occupation, the first slavery, the first Ziggurat, the first rupture began with this process. Bloody processes take place between the Magi (Mak Priestesses) and City Priest Administrations. And this war continues to this day in various forms, in all its burning intensity. Perhaps I will not exemplify and explain all forms here, but I will explain the deviations, veiled and distorted aspects of the Epic of Creation in my own way. The subject in this mythos, which is told in the creation story and which is a fabrication of the city priests, is a distortion that the masculine mentality has shaped according to itself in order to exist. This creation myth, which is reflected in all four Abrahamic religions, takes its origin from the story of the slavish city of the Sumerian civilisation. A wide variety of ideas have been written and drawn about the subject of this myth, which is transmitted to society in a veiled and distorted style. However, we can state that it is directly related to the contradiction and conflict of two opposing social structures. God first created seven angels. Then He created jinns, fairies, and jinns. And then God decided to create Adam, a being similar to himself. He gathered all the angels, jinns, fairies, and jinns and commanded, "Prostrate to Adam". Angels, jinn and fairies immediately prostrated themselves before Adam. Only Azazil (Satan) did not fulfil this command of God. And Azazil's defence was as follows: "O God! You created me first. And You created me from Your own light. You created me from the light of the scorching and burning fire. When I first opened my eyes, I looked at You and lost one eye from the beauty of Your light. It was not the darkness that blinded me, but Your light. I fell in love with you and promised you that I would worship nothing but you and bow down to you. And you, O Lord, created Adam in your likeness, who was not God, but only in your likeness, and I said, I will not worship him, for I have made a promise to God, and I have kept my promise to God." Hearing this defence from the mouth of Azazil, God accepted him as the highest and most faithful of all creatures. And He chose Azazil as the angel of His will. And God's first command to Azazil was as follows: "As long as 'Adam and the sons of Adam' exist, you will test their will. You will play with them, confuse them, play tricks on them and pour out all the poison in them. You will accept this as a duty. And then God gave to Azrael the task of death, to Gabriel the task of revelation, to Israfil the task of blowing the trumpet, and to Michael the task of ruling over nature. Adam was enjoying all the blessings of the Garden of Eden and enjoying almost without limit all that God had created. God had given him everything, but Adam did not know how to use his mind. God told Azazil to test him constantly. Azazil was teaching him all the doors and mysteries of paradise. Adam, who had no mind and will of his own, acted only with his heart. When he laid eyes on Lilit, a beautiful, beautiful, vicious, spoilt and intelligent fairy from the garden of Eden, he ran after her. And he fell in love with her. There was a secret love between the two of them in the garden of Eden. God had given Adam only one prohibition in paradise: You shall not taste or eat that fruit. Why did God put the forbidden fruit in paradise? In fact, there was no such fruit in paradise. Although some describe this fruit as an apple, some as a pomegranate, some as a fig and some as a grain of wheat, in fact this forbidden fruit was a child! God had forbidden Adam to create, to be like him. Only God had to create. Therefore, Adam was not to mate with any female and have children. Lilit and Adam had a child from their secret, evasive love, and Adam had broken God's commandment. But since Adam could not fully use his brain, how did this happen? Lilit, a fairy girl, with the help of Azazil, had her horizons opened and her sexual feelings were fulfilled. Lilit almost bound all his feelings and thoughts to herself and dragged Adam after her. Realising the child born of this secret love, God, in great anger, turned Lilit into a snake and condemned her to darkness, and expelled our foolish Adam from paradise and decided that he should live in his own world. God said to Adam: "Since you did not like my paradise, since you did not obey my commandments, then go live in the godliness of your own world. I give you permission to build a false paradise of your own world and show your creativity there as much as you want. But you will never forget me and you will know my superiority over you." God, who expelled Adam from paradise, addressed Azazil, who was a spectator to this situation, as follows: "You will test them and show their loyalty to me in the world where Adam and Adam's children live until kal û bela. You will take their greatest wrath upon yourself as punishment. And you will be the judge of hell. For you will be part of that fire. Fire turns to fire. That world will not be a place of punishment for you, but it will be a place of trial and duty for you..." God sends Adam and his daughter Eve to the earth. According to the mythos, he sends them to two different parts of the world. They search for each other for forty years and finally find each other and get married. Adam marries Eve, his daughter in heaven. The children born to them are of different colours and sizes. But Lilit, born in exile, prevents Eve from harming him by kidnapping the children born to his daughter, but one of whom belongs to her... The mythos is transferred to the present day in the form of different variants according to the perception of life of the society by changing from flow to flow. This Mythos, which is reflected in different versions until the Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian and Assyrian civilisations, becomes more veiled and distorted in celestial religions. This story, which has been passed down to the present day, becomes the fearful dream of the modern human mind by being put into a sheath in the sovereign mouths within the framework of their own power. Through this and similar myths that form the stereotypical framework of the masculine mentality, everything related to the social and mental world of women, half of the society, is tried to be destroyed, boogeyed and denied. The coding that Eve was created from Adam's left rib is actually true. And it confirms this story. That is, it proves that Eve was Adam's daughter and God's forbidden fruit. But how can we read this historically and sociologically today? How can we establish a correct analysis of this story and give it a correct explanation? I leave this to the perspective of gynecology and believe that the most accurate and true explanation can be made by them. We can read the analysis of these myths in the writings of many women comrades. The academies of gynecology are the most important social centres of our time, carrying and reflecting the unique perspective of women's history. They play an enlightening and creative mental role in the re-emergence of women on the stage of life and in the creation of the utopia of freedom. We wish them success in this new social construction of women who lead us, in their endeavours and works that bring life together with the truth by reconsidering history in a more realistic way, and greet them wholeheartedly, stating that we owe them a debt of gratitude.
