Adam Kadmon

Primordial Man: in Lurianic Kabbalah, the first manifestation of the divine light after contraction.

Also: Adam Qadmon, Primordial Man

Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism

Adam Kadmon, the primordial human, is the first configuration of light emanating into the space left by tzimtzum, from whose eyes, ears, nose and mouth further lights stream. The idea expresses the kabbalistic conviction that the human form mirrors the divine structure.
