The biblical story of sin in the
Garden of Eden is depicted as if God did not want man to be like God or possess the wisdom or
knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, he instructed man not to eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. As the story goes, Adam and Eve disobeyed, ate the apple and became
God like. Therefore, God cursed them and detached himself from them for sinning. Now, every
human being would have to pay for this sin by being sentenced to life in Hell. However, this is
far from the truth and only serves to disempower Christians or believers in the bible.
I have said,
Ye are gods; and
all of you are children of the most High. [Psalms 82:6]
God made man and woman and placed them in
the Garden of Eden or Heaven on Earth. He named the man Adam and the woman Eve. They were to
live their entire life in Heaven in a mansion, rent free. They were given God's personal phone
number with direct 24/7 access to call for anything they wanted, be it peace, joy, happiness,
health, longevity, money, cars, planes, yachts, gold, diamonds, pearls, etc. What an amazing
life!
However,
there were some stipulations that were placed on them in order to live in Heaven. If they didn't
abide by the covenant, they would be evicted, their personal phone line to God would be cut off
and all that was given to them would be repossessed. They would be downgraded and stripped of
their wisdom and power to live as mere human beings rather than spiritual beings or gods. They
would have to work for a living and live in the hood scuffling to make ends meet for the rest of
their life.
Adam and
Eve were vegetarians; therefore God provided them plenty of fruit trees and vegetables in the
garden for them to eat in order to stay healthy. However, they were told to only eat from the
tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were instructed, "Do not eat from any other tree in the
garden." However, the other trees were full of beautiful apples and other fruits which looked
tasty, tempting and delicious.
Now, the
Ego, which was their lower or human consciousness, was slick and it wanted to have power and
control of the mind of Adam and Eve, so he could rule their world and turn their Heaven into
Hell. The Ego knew that God gave them free will, therefore he knew if he could deceive them and
keep them from eating from the tree of Knowledge of good and evil, he would be able to take over
their minds and have them as his servants to help to destroy the world while in the process of
destroying themselves.
Satan
targeted Eve first and deceived her, therefore, she disobeyed God and chose to eat the apple;
Adam knew better, but he was henpecked and did whatever Eve ordered him to do, so he also ate.
At that time, God kicked them out of Heaven or the Garden of Eve and then stress and unhappiness
came upon them. The Ego's plan worked and now the whole world is under the curse, control, power
and authority of the dictatorship of Satan. The Ego’s control of the mind is the cause of crime,
violence, hatred, discrimination, sickness, disease, stress, poverty, homelessness, tornados,
hurricanes, earth quakes, droughts, flooding and destruction throughout the world.
The Bible
gives us a clue when it says that, "Satan deceives the whole world" [Revelations 12:9]. We
believe the lie and resist the truth. We believe religious dogma, political deception, medical
drug dependency and media propaganda in lieu of spiritual truth. Satan or our dominant human
consciousness has taken spirituality out of humanity and we are suffering the consequences. As
the bible says, "the wages of sin is death."
Adam and
Eve were put in Heaven on earth and given free will. They chose to listen to their ego, instead
of their authentic spiritual conscious or God. When they disobeyed God, it lowered them to the
human consciousness and separated them from divine spirit. Therefore, they were no longer in the
Christ consciousness that created Heaven in their life. As a result, they destroyed their life
and the life of humanity for thousands of years, even to this day.
Man will
always be in bondage and his worship of Jesus will only go in vain, until he rises up from this
lower and destructive level of consciousness awakens to the deception and realization that the
Kingdom of God is in him. The religious teachings of life will always keep him separated from
God and powerless to the tricks, traps and negativity of the world, for he is cutoff from his
wisdom to discernment. To be free, man must realize he has power and authority over Satan (i.e.
his ego).
Those
souls who are awakening and seeking higher truth will experience a glorious life on earth filled
with peace, joy, happiness, prosperity, good health and longevity. They were not deceived,
rebuked their ego and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and became like God,
the father.
The moral
of the story is that God is in you for the purpose of assisting you in co-creating your most
abundantly blessed and fulfilling life and the only thing that is stopping you is your serpent
or ego.
