A term found in Chaldean scriptures which is, according to Helena P. BLAVATSKY, a personation of the two meanings of Adam: the heavenly Adam-Kadmon, and the human Adam, which represents the human race. The Chaldean scriptures are considered to be certainly earlier than the Mosaic Books (SD II:43).

“Adam-Adami is a personation of the dual Adam: of the paradigmic Adam-Kadmon, the creator, and of the lower Adam, the terrestrial, who, as the Syrian Kabalists have it, had only nephesh, ‘the breath of life,’ but no living soul, until after his Fall” (SD II:456).

See ADAM; ADAM KADMON.
