Originally Melchizedek was known as Enoch, which means "the Initiate". In the bible Enoch was the only righteous (=rechtschaffend, redlich) man of an earlier and wicked generation. Enoch spend much time alone in deep meditation to avoid contact with this evil society. During meditation, Enoch was taken up, out of the body, to see the Higher Worlds, their structures, processes and their inhabitants. During one spiritual excursion, he was lifted into the highest and Divine realm and was shown secrets of which even the archangels had no knowledge. The whole history of humanity was reveiled to Enoch and he was instructed to found the first School of Soul (esoteric tradition). Many ancient cultures refer to a mysterious founder who strongly resembles Enoch. When Enochs mission on Earth was complete he was taken up into Heaven, without going through the process of death, and transfigured into a human archangelic called Metatron. Enoch / Metatron, as a human with archangelic powers, is a master of time and space, which can go anywhere and enter any period to aid and instruct worthy individuals. He filled the place vacated by Lucifer when it rebelled against God. Enoch / Metatron was the first fully Self-realised individual. Whilst Enoch / Metatron appeared as Melchizedek in Abrams case, he later manifested as Elijah. In other cultures he is known as Thot (Egypt), Hermes Trismegistus (Greek) and Fu Xi or Fu Hsi (China).
