Interesting. It's a commentary on the book of Genesis:
"Let us make man." God may be said to address the spiritual and the material elements thus: "Till now all creatures have been of matter only; now I will create a being who shall consist of both matter and spirit."
"In our form, in our likeness." "Hitherto there was but one such creature; I have now added to him another who was taken from him. They shall both be in our form and likeness; there shall be no man without a woman and no woman without a man, and no man and woman together without God." Thus in the words AISH VASHH ("man and woman") there is the word IH (God).
If they are unworthy the I from the word AISH and the H from VASHH is taken away, and thus IH, God, departs and there are left the words ASH VASH = "fire and fire."
Adam was created with two bodies, one of which was cut away from him and formed Eve...
Could there be some significance behind this, even as Abram was changed to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah? Notice that the yod and two hays are changed. The Yod and the Hay form the first two or shortened name of God, the tetragrammaton.
