The Genesis Codex: Archetypal Metaphysics of Creation, Fall, and Ego

This paper argues that Genesis 1–3 should not be read as historical or anthropological narrative but as a metaphysical codex encoding archetypal dynamics. Drawing from philology, symbolic interpretation, and comparative philosophy, I show that God is symbolized as the masculine principle of order and form, while Adam and Eve function as archetypes of masculine and feminine, logic and intuition respectively. The serpent is the ego, which destabilizes balance by corrupting the generative field (feminine) first. Against Anglo-German historicist and gender-hierarchical overlays, I argue that the fall signifies the recursive misalignment of complementary principles, with implications for the psyche, society, and metaphysics.
