Man was never to eat of the tree of life.

Man was never to eat of the tree of life.

I do not think man was ever intended to eat of the tree of life and you will note that nowhere in scriptures is it’s lose bemoaned.

We came out of Eden being as Gods and knowing all that he knows. God’s own words in this myth. They have become as Gods.

We are then denied the ability to have that knowledge live forever as it would make man stagnate at whatever level of knowledge he had then, or even now if we extrapolate the story to where we are all Adams. Our knowledge continues to evolve.

The archetypal God in this myth does not want man to idolize his own knowledge as that would stifle progress. We are to perpetually raise the bar and not make an unchangeable immortal idol of what we know. We are to deny ourselves the immortality of our ideas and knowledge. They, like man, are to evolve forever.

I bet you never thought of this myth that way.

Can you see it?

No. "God" wants people to rely on the church for knowledge instead of figuring things out on their own. The earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth, etc

I was actually thinking the same thing this weekend during a smoke session.

How far we have strayed.

Led astray intentionally by churches.

Not church. Big business is large and in charge.

There's a huge void in their pockets if they have a conscious population.

That's why they have all of you eating cloned beef, cloned chicken along with those GMO's. Keep the dumb ditty dumb and the rich richer.

Pretty soon you'll be ordering your water from Coca Cola.

I agree. Some think we live in democracies or other types of governance but we all live in Oligarchies. Money rules and governments are just there to make us think we have a say in things.
