The True Man
(Hebrew אדם aleph, daleth, mem)
Literally, “The first.” In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the name of the first human being. The name Adam actually has many esoteric meanings that are unknown to the public. Primarily, Adam can refer to different levels of the inner Being, such as Adam Kadmon, the perfect human being, in contrast to the sinning Adam or terrestrial person expelled from Eden.
(Hebrew אדמה) “ground, earth.” Genesis 2:7 says, “God [Adonay Elohim] formed man [Adam אדמ] out of dust of the ground [Adamah אדמה], and breathed into his nostrils a breath of life. Man [Adam אדמ] became a living creature.” The Hebrew word for ground or earth, Adamah is related to Adam, the Hebrew word for man. Both words are also cognate to adom, meaning red, and dam meaning blood.
Wine is a symbol of the blood of the Christ, a symbol of that fire or that energy we need in order to sustain ourselves.
So, the three wise men who come to worship the child represent the colors of the great work.
