The Mystery of Eden

The Mystery of Eden

Chapter I

Where does one begin to reveal the word of God, the Truths that were presented to the world by the perfected children of God? I have seen the Truth of Krishna, the Wisdom of Buddha, and the Love of Jesus; each was a guided step in the evolution of the soul, a step towards Heaven.

It is the way of men that in their lack of understanding and faith, the Truth slips through their fingers, dripping away like water, and what is lost is replaced by their imperfect and corrupted reasoning. In this the purity of God's Word is lost to its keepers. Let me tell you a parable:

The Father's Tree

There was a father who had many children and when they came of age, he gave them a large piece of land that he owned in another country. And on that land he planted for them, a beautiful fruit tree so that they would always remember him and always have food. The tree bore fruit every day of the year and each fruit of the tree bore the fathers love and when the children ate the fruit of the tree they were filled with the fathers love. The children worked the land and all were equal and happy.

The day came when the darkness came down and went into the hearts of some of the children and these children thought 'if we could control the others then we could have a greater share of the wealth.' So they got together to work out a plan. They thought 'how can we control the others because they all eat from the tree and all have the fathers love in them. And the father's love bids them to share and all be equal.'

The darkness put into the minds of the discontented children, a plan and in the night they went out and chopped some of the roots of the tree. They then covered them up so no-one would notice. In the following days, parts of the tree began to wither on the side where the roots had been cut. Now there was not enough fruit to go around and feed all the children. So now the children were in much fear that the love of their father would be lost to them.

The ones who were discontented went to the rest of the children and said 'If it be your wish, we shall take charge of the tree and care for it. We shall make it well and share out the fruit.'

The children agreed for they were overjoyed that their father's love would not be lost and the discontented ones were exalted for their great deed.

The exalted ones took care of the father's tree but gave the other children fruit from another tree, which they had grown themselves. The children could not see that it was not the fruit from their father's tree because they had been deceived and as time went by they grew apart and the father's love faded in many.

What Truth the world has is divided, and through pride, insecurity, fear and the pursuit of self gain, its keepers have become as enemies. It is not Truth that many desire; it is domination of their religion over others. If it were not for those with Love, then the Word would be all but lost. God's messengers do not oppose each other's teachings or God's Word. Let me tell you a parable:

Statue of Divine Beauty

In the beginning was the Truth, and the Truth was with Love, and the Truth was Love for it was God's Word.

God's Word was as a statue of Divine Beauty for all of God's children to see, and there was peace and love in each.

Then the day came when the darkness was released into the universe and given free reign. So it went out into the tribes and caused discontent and mistrust.

Then each of the tribes wanted this statue of Divine Beauty for themselves, thinking that only they were worthy to protect it. But no one tribe could possess it, because all the other tribes would be left with nothing.

So the tribes got together and broke up the statue, and each took a part of it for themselves. Each tribe then worshipped the parts they had taken and rebuilt their statues into the image of what they believed the original statue looked like.

Now each tribe was left with a statue that was different from each others and different from the original. And the tribes began fighting amongst themselves, proclaiming that their statue was the same as the original and peace left the world.

Now is a new age, and many are ready in their evolution of the soul, to fully understand all of God's Word and in doing so, will return to Eden.

Chapter II

In the beginning there was one soul, one consciousness and one domain. We know that domain as Heaven. God was alone but for the knowledge in the infinite domain, there was no other life but Gods and life can only come from life.

For all of God's knowledge and non sentient creations, there was no reason to exist, other than to be.

God had considered all knowledge, and with perfect reasoning, had understood the perfection of order and the destructiveness of chaos; in order there was the absence of the suffering caused by conflict.

Even the beauty of God's perfect creations within Heaven, were unsustainable in their effect. All pleasures were temporary, and failed to subdue the emptiness of loneliness, a loneliness that could only be ended by the company of another life, and that other life could not be in conflict with God's will.

There was no life but Gods, no domain but Heaven, yet others were necessary, and so in God's infinite wisdom a plan was formulated, a plan that we are all a part of, a plan for the fulfilment and expression of Love between living entities.

There is no life but God's life, and so you should understand that the life that you are, was once a part of God, given up to itself and its own will. And so it is that we fell from God like seeds falling from a flower, each sealed into a part of Heaven, a personal domain that we know as mind. For those of lesser understanding, the kingdom is within you. For those of greater understanding, you are within the kingdom of Heaven, it is the God given personal domain of every soul. It is your domain that you must make and keep in the likeness of Heaven, to return to Eden.

That which is not perfect, cannot reside in that which is perfect, for that which is different is the destroyer of perfection. It is only that which causes suffering through conflict that must be given up, and this is only possible through the free willed choice of Love and Truth.

All souls are pure in their beginning. All are given a perfect piece of Heaven, one devoid of knowledge, except that which is beyond perception until found. Purity of a soul's domain is the end that is the same as the beginning. Heaven is the Garden of Eden, the place of our birth.

So God set in motion the Divine Plan, creating a void in Heaven, a place of separation for souls, and within that void, set in motion, the formation of the Universe, a place of materiality. It is here in this place that each soul chooses, through their own free will, their experiences, observations and reasoning, the path that is good and right, and discovers the true nature of their being.

A seed is not known until it pushes through the earth to reach the light, and so it is with souls, that when they come to know themselves, break through the material realm into the Light of the spiritual realm.

Chapter III

It is now that I turn to the Bible and in doing so, turn to Genesis and it is with sadness that I see the Word of God confounded by the words reasoned and added by the blind, so that to those of imperfect sight, that which had the simplicity of Truth, has become a mystery and a contradiction. It is never profitable to the soul, to hang on to that which is untrue, for fear of losing the Truth that is in its company.

The serpent is a representation of desire, which is a requirement of life, it is the mover that sets life in motion; it is the cause of will, the tempter of both good and evil. The serpent should not be confused with either Satan or the Devil, for Satan is a reference to one who speaks from the Satan consciousness, and the Devil is the physical body controlled by the Satan consciousness. The Satan consciousness is one that, through wrongful desire, opposes what is good and right.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is necessary for choice, without which there is only conformity through blindness, which negates personal responsibility. Freedom of will requires more than one choice and the other choice must be an opposite. Without opposing choices, life would be subjected to irresistible servitude. The worth of Love is that it is given through the free will, through a choice, made in sincerity and without fear or oppression, or gained by deceit. Love that is imposed by force of will is worthless and absent of sincerity.

If you love someone, let them go, if they love you they will return. Would you expect God to do less? It is said that God requires worship, there is no greater worship than Love.

Listen and understand the mystery of the tree spoken of in Matthew 7:17

'Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ¹⁹Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.'

Every soul has their own tree of knowledge of both good and evil and it is for each soul to prune that tree according to their desire. In our search for knowledge we discover new branches, and in denying those that do not suit our desire, it is as if we have cut them off the tree. No soul can be said to be good if it still clings to evil, and no soul can be said to be evil, if it still clings to good. Only a tree that has been pruned of all good or evil, can bare one kind of fruit, either it will be all good fruit, or all bad fruit. A soul that has pruned all that is not good and right, can only give to others its good fruit. See the worth of the knowledge that you have, and discard that which makes you imperfect.

So it was that each soul was sent out of Heaven. It is written that God clothed Adam and Eve in animal skins; it is the same for every soul. You are wearing yours even now; it is your physical body.

Eden is not a material place, not a place that can be found on earth. If it were, the way home would have been found and entered, by even the most unrighteous.

The river that flowed out of Eden was God's Word, the Spirit that is referred to as water.

The Gates of Eden are the Gates to Heaven, our birthplace, our home. They are guarded by the protectors of Love and Truth, the Cherubim and the flaming sword. They guard against all that is not good and right, against all that opposes the will of God.

It is not difficult to see God's perfect plan. Eve did not cause a fall from grace. Knowing good and evil was meant to be for all of God's children, and all of God's children will eventually learn the Way, back to Eden, even those who fell to the darkness will be reborn.
