Reclaiming the Garden of Eden (New)

I am a man and I can tell you something about the calling of the snake to take a bite out of the fruit in the middle of the garden. Yes, our sexual drive can cut us off from our ever-present GOD connection, but lust is merely an energy we can awaken to, just as it is with our thoughts.


Some argue that the fall of humanity was about the mind taking over, as the Fall happened at the 'Tree of Knowledge'. The interpretation doesn't matter, lust, greed or intellectual drive, everything is just an energy we can observe to rise and recede within us. In Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament, the expressions 'to know' and 'to have sex' were actually the same. 


The fall of humanity is really all about cutting the cord of our GOD-given connection. Yet, moment by moment we can re-connect. Lust, greed, the race for academic or professional awards, all these are energy that we can shake off. The doors to the Garden are wide open. Discover this even-present GOD-connection here and now.
