In Lurianic Kabbalah (Isaac Luria, 16th century Safed), Adam Kadmon is the first configuration of divine light that emerges after the tzimtzum (divine contraction) and the shevirat ha-kelim (breaking of the vessels) — a vast primordial being whose bodily structure maps onto the ten sefirot. The concept takes the tselem elohim formula with cosmological literalism: if the earthly Adam was made in God's image, then the divine ""image"" itself must be an Adam-form. The biblical Adam is thus the earthly reflection of the cosmic primordial human. Scholem (1974) traces the Adam Kadmon concept through Neoplatonic, Gnostic, and Kabbalistic strata.",SRC_SCHOLEM_KABBALAH,reviewed,PER_ISR_SECOND_TEMPLE 2562,ENT_SUF_INSAN_KAMIL,aligned_with,ENT_JM_ADAM_KADMON,medium,The Perfect Man parallels the Kabbalistic primordial Adam Kadmon as the macranthropos.,SRC_SCHIMMEL_SUFISM,reviewed,PER_ISL_CLASSICAL 6192,ENT_JM_LURIA,reveals,ENT_JM_ADAM_KADMON,high,"Adam Kadmon, the primordial man, is a foundational Lurianic figure.",SRC_VITAL_ETZ_CHAIM,reviewed,
