Re-looking Adam and Eve

I have always had a problem with the Adam/Eve story because I could never understand why God would be angry with them for eating from the tree of knowledge.

I think God's anger at A/E was not because they had gained Knowledge/awareness but rather because they had lost it. Namely, consciousness of the fact that, at a higher level, we are all one.

Essentially, it is the loss of this awareness that is the root cause of all social and psychological dis-ease.

We have lost sight of our higher connectedness. There is really only one of us here. You are an essential part of me and vice versa, therefore what I do to you I do to myself. (It's as if the right hand does not recognise it is part of the body as a whole and therefore does not understand that if it were to chop off a finger on the left hand, it too would be injured.)

In order to heal, we need to understand the real reason why God was angry. We need to regain our 'knowledge' of our higher connectedness. I think the internet is helping humanity to move towards this awareness on a mass scale. Only the other day I read about a woman living in her car in the UK (she is so disconnected through shame that she has not turned to anyone she knows for help). Yet her blog has attracted an international community and thereby connectedness on another level.

Have just been reading Global Meditation to Heal the Earth /

and this reinterpretation of the adam and eve story fits perfectly with what has been written here.

I will honour this day and hour 17 July 2007 11:11 GMT

but firmly believe we don’t have to wait a year to take action. Each of us can help the Earth right now by calming our minds, meditating regularly, connecting with our hearts, expressing gratitude, experiencing ecstasy, channelling grace, random acts of kindness, invisible acts of power…..
feeling and becoming One.
