Legend

Recordings possibly by Johannes Gottfried Wilhelm Schröder

In the beginning of the Earth, Elohim examined the Primordial Mother Heva. And she bore Cain. After that, Jahve-Elohim formed Adam and created him from clay and gave him a new living soul. Adam begat Cain with Heva.

Then Cain and Abel quarreled, and Cain slew his brother Abel. Since then, blood guilt has rested on Cain and his descendants. But instead of the slain Abel, Seth was born to Adam from Heva.

The priests and kings of the world descended from the Abel-Seth line. They were given the gift of divine wisdom by their progenitor [Yahweh]. The descendants of Abel were shepherds and tended flocks and peoples because what they needed now fell to them without labor through the gift of the gods.

Cain and his descendants were farmers and plowed the earth. From the bottom up, through the forces of the earth, they had to work their way up to the light.

One of Cain's descendants was Lamech. He invented the man of metal according to the sounds of the music of the spheres.

The last of the great enlightened priest-kings of the Abel Seth line was the wise King Solomon. He sat on his throne of gold and ivory and sent his messengers to the four corners of the earth.

By virtue of his divine wisdom, he conceived the plan for building the temple in his mind. But he could not carry it out himself. For this he needed a master builder named Hiram Abiff or Adoniram.

He was of the Cain race and knew the powers of the earth. He could oversee the construction and direct the crowds of workers with the blow of his hammer.

Then the wise Queen of Sheba came from the south, from the land of the streams, to King Solomon to admire the temple that the wise King Solomon had conceived and that Hiram Abiff or Adoniram had built according to his will. And she was very astonished. But she had given the wise King Solomon an engagement ring.

After she had dedicated the temple, she met the master builder Hiram Abiff or Adoniram outside the city. And the bird [Had-Had] came and sat on the right arm of Hiram Abiff. Which the queen's wise nurse interpreted as meaning that she would marry Hiram Abiff. King Solomon became jealous, and in his rage the ring was pulled off and given to Hiram Abiff.

But Hiram Abiff or Adoniram also had a great work to accomplish. He had been instructed by Solomon to create a large metal sea that was to be made transparent like glass. And a day was set for this work to be completed.

And the wise Solomon and the Queen of Sabah came with their retinue at the appointed hour to witness the completion of the miracle. There was only one more ingredient to be added to the mixture, and then the metal sea would transform and appear transparent. But there were three treacherous figures among the workmen of Hiram Abiff or Adoniram: doubt, superstition, and belief in one's own personality. They had secretly spoiled the mixture. When Hiram Abiff or Adoniram added the last ingredients before the king and queen, fire spurted out at him (Lemuria) and the brazen sea darkened.

When he then added water (Atlantis) to extinguish the fire, the mass began to boil even more violently, threatening to destroy everything and to devour everyone present. Then a voice was heard from the fire and steam, calling to Hiram Abiff or Adoniram to plunge himself with his hammer into the fiery mass and thus extinguish the flame.

He did so and then felt himself sinking down, deep into the interior of the earth. There he met his ancestor Cain. Cain gave him a new hammer with which he could complete the work. With this, he rose unharmed back to the surface of the earth and was now able to complete his work.

Solomon and his descendants, however, lost the divine wisdom and perished more and more.

The descendants of Cain, however, are called upon to work their way up to the light of divine wisdom.

These two currents have then mixed in many ways, and in every person of our time there is blood from both currents. But in those who can penetrate to the light, the blood of Cain predominates.

Another incarnation of Hiram Abiff or Adoniram is Jeshu ben Pandirah, the Essene, who lived for about 100 years [records break off].
