Post #85 "Knowledge of Immortality"

continuing....................

The O.T., biblical, Garden of Eden story is a story of pre-civilization. It is a mythological story of and before Intelligence Chose. It is the story of where the Choice was made and how it all began. Here we will begin to search for the answers. In the story of the Garden of Eden there stand two trees. That there are two trees instead of one infers Choice. The story suggests that there is a Choice to be made. One of the trees is a forbidden tree, for to eat of its fruit is to bring about a KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE AND DEATH......KNOWLEDGE OF IMMORTALITY. The reason given by the author of this Genesis account, for eating the fruit of this tree, was the desire of Adam and Eve (at this point, amoeba) to become like God. To become like God is to have found the secret to eternal life...the secret to Immortality. This is the secret promised by religion and striven for by science. This secret is the golden prize of Knowledge. When one has won the secret to Immortality, one has achieved total Power. This one will be acclaimed The God of Creation, for becoming The God of Creation cancels out all other gods or any God, for there can be but One God. God becomes the One acclaimed and worshipped as God. The Knowledge of the fruit of the forbidden tree was and is the Knowledge of Reason and through Reason, the Knowledge also of Faith. It took Reason to desire and then, to implement the plan to become God which was brought about or won, by eating the forbidden fruit. The Knowledge of Reason examined and weighed and calculated all possible aspects of the outcome from eating from the forbidden tree and....... determined to eat the fruit. The Knowledge of Faith believes it was Chosen to determine God and so was God, so, of course, hastened to eat the fruit before Reason could get a bigger share and take over God-ship for there can only be One God.....the God of Faith or the God of Reason. But as already determined, the God of Faith and the God of Reason are one and the same God.

Of course, all did not go as planned and we know that paradise was lost. Paradise could be no more for those desiring to be God knew that for the plan to work, God must be removed, Reality must be removed, that is. Reality cannot exist for one desiring  to become God, for once the desire takes hold, and the choice is made, creation unfolds. The desire and choice would not and can not be shaken. But who could ever remove God? Who could ever remove Reality? The only possible solution would be to create a space apart in Nothingness, to be Nothingness, and to admit to Nothing! The result----Creation! W are Image-makers. We who would Become God. We who cannot risk searching for Reality!
