CW14 P 556

At the midpoint where Adam was buried, the “four corners come together; for when God created the earth his power ran along in front of it, and the earth ran after his power from four sides like winds and gentle breezes, and there his power stopped and came to rest. And there will be accomplished the redemption for Adam and all his children.†Over the grave where the cross would stand there grew a tree, and there too was the altar of Melchizedek. When Shem laid the body on the ground,

‘the four sides moved away from one another, the earth opened in the form of a cross, and Shem and Melchizedek laid the body inside. And as soon as they had done this, the four sides moved together again and covered the body of our Father Adam, and the doors of the earth were closed. And the same spot was named the Place of the Skull, because the head of all men was laid there, and Golgotha, because it was round … and Gabbatha, because all the nations were gathered in it.’

“There the power of God will appear, for the four corners of the world have there become one,†say the Ethiopic Clementines. God said to Adam: “I shall make thee God, but not now; only after the passing of a great number of years.†The apocryphal “Life of Adam and Eve†says that the east and north of paradise were given to Adam, but the west and south to Eve. The Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer reveals that Adam was buried in the double cave Machpelach, and that Eve, Abraham and , Isaac and , and Leah were buried there too. “Therefore the cave was named Kiriath Arba’, the City of Four, because four husbands and wives were buried there.â€

Alice, fa, all,

The quoted paragraph is from the chapter Adam and Eve. Adam and the Arcane

Substance. CW14 is Mysterium Coniunctionus. Quoted in this paragraph is,

firstly, Carl Bezold; Die Schatzhohle, 'Cave of Treasure.?' The second

quote is footnoted by Jung: 'Dr. R Scharf points out that the cave is not

identical with the City of Four, since Kirjath Arba is a name for Hebron,

where the cave is.'

The quoted paragraph evidently is significant for you fa. But the gist

of of Jung's phenomenological riff on alchemy with respect to Adam and

Kabala unfolds in what came before. Jung is wondering " why it was that

Adam should have been selected as a symbol for the prima materia of

transformative substance. " (p552)

So, the following paragraph is begun with:

" I do not want to pile up proofs of quaternary nature, but only to give it

due emphasis. "

Later:

" We could say that all mythological figures who are marked by a quaternity

have ultimately to do with the structure of consciousness. "

Then the remaining chapter unfolds in MC, one of Jung's most speculative,

esoteric works.
