Ish et Isha were naked but did not feel shame. It must allow some conquerors of Truth to accomplish the miracle awaited for millions of years, that of the joining of spirit and matter so as to open the way for a “divine materialism”.

And they live untouched by sorrow in the islands of the blessed.” (Works and Days, verse 156). Prometheus, the Lightbringer, is the one to whom the Greeks attribute the discovery or bestowal of fire for humans. On the other hand, the lineage of Protogenia makes explicit the realisations of the “adventurers of consciousness”, the guides of humanity. Even if the inner being, Prometheus, knows that he is being misled, the identification seems inescapable. The name of his wife Clymene, “the Famous or Celebrated”, implies that this is a question of the “victories” of man in this ascension. Prometheus – Pro + M + Θ (eus) – would by this analysis be “he who puts at the forefront his submission to what is born and expressed inwardly”, while his brother Epimetheus would be “he who remains at the surface of this submission”, in other words at the level of appearances. This seems to be confirmed by Ovid’s view, as he describes the four ages (gold, silver, brazen and iron), but does not at any point mention an age of heroes. Warning: Major spoilers for Alien: Covenant ahead Ridley Scott's Alien prequel series is in full swing, with the esoteric Prometheus now followed up with the more expository and horror-tinged Alien: Covenant, and up to four more movies in the pipeline.

According to the theory of cycles discussed in the previous chapter and considering the succession of generations in the lineage of the Titan Oceanos, we can situate the entry into the process of “rebirth/renaissance” of the great cycle at the end of the Neolithic period, at the time of the first civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Shame and guilt appear from the moment when the consciousness of the dividing rupture manifests itself. The evolutionary impulse manifests itself through Prometheus as through the snake of Genesis. Instead, it pushes the act of interpretation itself into the fore- During this endeavor, the seeker is warned of possible false starts by a feeling of inner unease.

Although he thus separates earth and sky he is also the path of their reuniting: when all the stages represented by his children the Pleiades will have been surpassed, the lost unity will be regained. Although Hesiod perceives signs of this in the first stages he seems to have given up all hope in the Iron Age in which he lived. And Yahweh symbolically protects with the flames of a burning sword the access to the tree of life, for it seems that Adam and Eve had no wish to touch it: the vast majority of humankind, dominated by the process of separation necessary for the formation of the ego, does not in fact worry about finding the path of lost unity again.

As fearsome as they were, death carried them away and they deserted the shining light of the sun.” (Works and Days, verse 140) In the story of Genesis,”Yahweh caused a deep sleep to fall upon man”, and the first awareness of duality was manifested: Yahweh created woman from one of Adam’s ribs (actually, from a pillar (rib) of the Tree of Life).

For this reasoning mind originating from the movement of separation, the only ultimate expression possible is a frozen desert in which each being is fixed in his solitude, cut out from the warmth of life. Later on, Aeschylus wrote a version of “Prometheus unbound ” which we know nothing of, but later tradition ascribes the account of the liberation of the Titan to Heracles. The nature of the two brothers describe the two aspects of man which come in contact with the mind: an inner being still connected with the Absolute, Prometheus, and a surface personality, Epimetheus, which cannot resist seizing “the fruit of knowledge” symbolised here by Pandora, the woman fashioned for him by the gods.
