We Can Think of the Garden of Eden Story

ByMartyn

We can think of the Garden of Eden story as being about a perceptual and conceptual shift that can be reversed any moment.

If we’re chewing on that Forbidden Fruit then we’re all full of judgements: good, bad, right, wrong. It’s exhausting and life becomes work and misery.

But if we just stop judging in these binaries; “this I keep, this I lose, this is good, this I hate”; then we open up to the paradise of present moment joy, trust, carefreeness, where everything is a gift.

So puke up that fruit of judgement and live in the paradise of now, the immanence of the divine garden that is Reality.

All is tree, all is creative intelligence. Knowing the nature of one’s Being is sufficient to end suffering. In the light of our nature as boundless…

    I was sitting outside a café with a friend some time ago, and we were talking about ‘consensus reality’ as he put it. He was wishing that he could be free of its influence. I sympathised with his POV but pointed out that we aren’t actually bound by it, and it’s enough to recognise one’s…

  • Love Over Law

    Is our conscience merely conditioning or is it a hotline to our divinity? Do we follow where it leads? Do we trust it? Is it our lack of trust that makes us suffer? If we trusted every move we make as right and correct, even divinely ordained, or at the very least inevitable, would we…
