The Khaballa is Pre-Biblical...but it was passed by word of mouth and was never written down until a few hundred years ago...
Lillith was actually the second Bride of Adam...
Eve was the third.
Lillith went on to marry Cain and became the mother of all demons.
THis is very appropriate since the EVAs were made from the genetic material of Lillith in the series and are used to fight... angels....
Anyway... please feel free to e-mail me at
UncleMilo@yahoo.com and I'd be happy to talk about EVA.
However... I understood the show more on a philisophical and psychological level (as well as understanding the language of film)
My friend Taliesin, however, knows more about the Khaballa than anyone I know. He has this book that cost him well over $500 and is filled with ancient images and writings that all link amazingly with aspects of the TV show.
Taliesin showed me this ancient drawing of a symbol that had been designed back in ancient times... and then showed how that symbol and the meanings behind it were the basis for the design of that creepy tube you often saw Rei contained in....
Just blows your mind how much research went into creating the surface story for EVA.
