THE FIRST SECRET

The Almighty finished assigning the Orders of Angels tasks for the day, but told Michael to remain behind.

"Michael, I have a special assignment for you, one that I want to keep secret for now. It's the experiment that I have been conducting on the Earth and in the First Heaven."

"I will do whatever you desire, my Lord," Michael responded. "How can I be of service?"

"I have fashioned creatures out of the Earth that resemble smaller versions of the Angels, but composed of Earth and not Light. I have named them Simians."

"Yes, my Lord," Michael responded. "I had tried to fashion something similar when we were on the Earth creating the first earthen beings with lord Luciferael. But he grew concerned about creating such beings, and had me alter them so they were not like us."

"I know," responded the Almighty. "And that is the main reason I am asking for you to assist Me in this experiment."

"Will that not be a problem with lord Luciferael?" Michael asked.

"He has no reason to feel threatened, as I intend for all creatures to live in harmony. But I do have concerns about the dinosaurs he has created; they may be beautiful to look at, but they are too primitive to assist in creating things on Earth."

"Yes, my Lord, they seem to be destructive to the things around them and to each other from what I have observed," Michael said, nodding in agreement with the Almighty.

"The Simians I have created are more intelligent than the dinosaurs, but they still lack a real creative ability," continued the Almighty. "I want you to observe them if you would for Me. No interference with them. I want you to stay hidden while you observe. I fear that they will not create if they know there is a superior intelligence around. I started by creating a few of them, but not much came out of it, so I have increased their numbers. I hope that they will become more creative simply because there are many more of them interacting with one another. And I have placed them in different regions on the planet hoping that they could become more creative based on their surroundings. But so far that has not occurred."

"Observe and not interfere then, my Lord?"

"Yes, Michael. There is one more thing though. As you remember, Luciferael assisted me in creating all of the Beings of Light, you and the rest of the Angels."

Michael again nodded as he remembered his own creation.

"I want you to be directly involved in the creation of an advanced form of these Simians."

"How so, my Lord?"

"I have created a place in the First Heaven that is attached directly to the Earth. I have kept it hidden from all of the Angels' view as I have been developing it. I intend to create a pair of Beings that have a greater part of My intelligence and Spirit, just as each and every one of the Angels does. And I want you to directly assist Me in their creation and am interested in any ideas you may have about making them better. If they become as wonderful as I imagine, I eventually want to put them in charge of the Earth, and they will become My creators on that planet. Are you interested?"

"I would be honored, my Lord," Michael responded, smiling to be selected for such an important task.

"Good. I will expect you to be protective of My secrets in this regard and of the existence of these new creatures."

"Of course my Lord."

"Come then, Michael. Join Me as we fly down to the First Heaven." The Almighty then turned to the Seraphim and motioned for them to accompany Him.

Sudaphim of the Order of the Seraphim then led their departure from the Throne Room, followed by the Almighty, with Michael flying beside Him, with the Thrones bringing up the rear. As they neared the exit of the Throne Room, the Almighty turned to Michael and said, "I do not want us observed by any of the other Angels," and then He made a circling gesture and they were all turned invisible.

As they flew down through the Heavens, they remained silent so that they did not call attention to their presence as they passed through each of the lower Heavens and the gateways between them.

Once they arrived in the First Heaven, the Almighty turned to the Seraphim and said, "Go forth and collect the clay from the Earth as instructed and meet us back here."

The Almighty then indicated for Michael to follow him as he continued to fly down into the sky above the Earth. Below them Michael could see the vegetation that carpeted the landscape, dotted here and there with various creatures, dinosaurs being the largest.

As they flew to an area near some mountains, the Almighty grabbed Michael's hand and said, "Look to your left. Those are the Simians."

Michael could see these creatures emerge. They were two legged with two arms, similar to Angels, but covered mostly with hair, shorter than the Angels, and without wings. Their faces had an intelligence to them as they engaged in various tasks, mostly gathering fruit and vegetables from trees and plants.

The Almighty broke Michael's attention when He said, "They look like they can create, but I have been observing them for a while now and they rely on the caves for shelter and don't seem to have any sense that they can stray far from where they are. They have made no attempt to build any structures on their own, not like you Angels, who commenced making palaces in the Heavens right after you were created. I haven't totally given up on them, but I want to do something more advanced."

Michael responded while still looking at them. "There is gentleness about them, my Lord. Much different from many of the dinosaurs that Luciferael and the Auxilium created."

"True," responded the Almighty. "That's one of the reasons I would like you to keep an eye out on them. I am afraid they will not do well if the dinosaurs discover them. We should return back to the First Heaven, the Seraphim should be returning soon."

Staying invisible, they flew back up through the Earth's sky and into the First Heaven, slipping through a gateway hidden from the normal view of the Angels. They then descended through the cottony clouds that floated above a lush green paradise, veined by four rivers that ran through it. Bright colors from plants and flowers offset the green vegetation and highlighted the area with brightly colored fruit hanging off the trees.

The Almighty and His entourage of Angels landed in a brown clearing near where the rivers all converged in the middle of the greenery. The Seraphim landed a few seconds later, having returned with the samples of clay that they placed in two piles in the clearing and near the gurgling water.

"What do you think of this place, Michael?" the Almighty asked.

Michael was overcome by the beauty of this place, so different from the Heavens but yet so exquisite in a whole different element.

"It is beyond belief, my Lord. Earth may be beautiful, but the intensity of everything here is as if it was composed of a mixture of Light and Earth," he said.

"I wanted you to be here when I created My latest Beings," The Almighty said as He pointed at two piles of earth that had been collected and piled before Him. "See these?"

Michael moved closer to the two mounds of clay and answered, "Yes, my Lord."

"These samples of clay have been collected by the Seraphim from the four corners of the Earth. Norophim collected clay from the north, Sudaphim clay from the south, Ostaphim clay from the east, and Wertophim clay from the west. This represents all the different types of earth that are present on the planet."

"Yes, my Lord," Michael said, looking down at the soil.

"I want the Beings to be part of this planet. And see this here?" The Almighty asked, pointing to all the trees and bushes around the two of them.

Michael looked up from the mounds of clay.

"This is a place I have named the Garden of Eden, and it will be the home for the two new creatures. It is attached to the First Heaven as you can see, and I will connect this place with the Earth once these Beings are further along in their maturity, and then I will begin to expose them to the Simians. They can teach the Simians how to create and develop other skills. There will be much work for the other Orders of Angels to do in preparation of that event, but for now it shall be you, Michael, that is responsible for keeping an eye on these Beings. I also give you permission to bring along any other Archangel that you think could assist you monitor these Beings, but please keep in mind that Luciferael and the Auxilium may not like them, so this assignment needs to remain secret."

Michael was pleased that he was being given such an important assignment and responded, "I would be honored to do so, my Lord."

The Almighty turned Himself visible and said: "Let us then begin." He picked up the piled soil in His hands, and pulled in some water from the nearby river, blended it with the portions of the piles of earth and formed into a creature with a combination of the features of the Simians and the Angels, but still without any wings. Once fully shaped He set it down and created another going through the same process and using the rest of the piles of clay blended with more of the nearby water.

The Almighty then bent his head between the two molded figures and whispered something into each of their ears. Then He arose above them and called out, "Lillith come forth!" And the form that would be female came to life, her eyes blinking as she stared to look around and gain her bearings. He then called out to the other form, "Adam come forth!" And the male figure blinked as he too, awoke and tried to get his bearings. They sat up, and as they did, the Almighty reached out and touched each of them simultaneously on the forehead, which caused a flash of energy to pass into them. The clouded look of bewilderment in their eyes was immediately replaced with a sharpness in their pupils, the focus of cognition.

The Almighty looked off into the distance and then vanished for a moment. He reappeared in a form very similar to the two Beings He had just created. Michael assumed this was to make them feel more comfortable, they never would have been able to look upon Him in His natural appearance.

Michael observed that Lillith and Adam were evenly matched in beauty. The Almighty created them as equals. Lillith had long, flowing blonde hair that reached down to the back of her thighs, blue eyes so clear that they shone like blue tinted ice, plump red lips, full firm breasts, a slightly upturned nose, clear glowing pink skin, all atop a long slender body with sleek shapely legs. Adam was brown haired and brown eyed, muscular and strong, solid in form as the clay he was composed of, some hair on his body, but with a great deal more hairless skin than any of the Simians that Michael had observed earlier.

Lillith and Adam glanced around at the Garden where they were placed, their eyes taking in their surroundings, but Michael was unsure if they were able to understand much of it, as even he was still astonished by the beauty of this place. He observed the two of them without worry as only the Almighty was visible to them, Michael and the rest remained invisible to these new creatures. Lillith and Adam remained sitting up on the ground for a while as they absorbed their surroundings. It took them some time to begin to move even their arms as they were becoming accustomed to their bodies.

They remained silent for a long time, and there were just the sounds of the paradise in the background. Michael was able to hear the smaller winged creatures known as birds as well. He could watch their forms covered in colors and feathers that flew at will from one tree to another, making strange but soothing sounds as they communicated with one another.

The Almighty then reached down and pulled both of these new creatures to their feet. He indicated that they should walk around, and after a short while of unsteadiness they were able to balance themselves just fine. The Almighty then indicated for the two of them to look at one another, and after a brief moment a surge of energy passed between them that Michael could feel even though he was still invisible and standing away from them.

Michael had never felt a surge that accompanied creatures' attraction for one another before; it was a stream of energy that bounced between them, and that increased in intensity to the degree that he could feel its wake. After a few moments of them gazing at one another, the Almighty spoke. "Lillith and Adam, this is your new home, a place that is called the Garden of Eden."
