The Banality of Eden
Friday, 25. May 2007, 18:09:48
Eve got bored in the Garden of Eden. She was not quite of herself, in a superfluous territory that did not seem REAL to her. She felt isolated and desolate in a somewhere of nowhere.
She wanted to be advanced into the untouchables, preferred to get herself lost in the actuality and reality of life that were challenging, substantial, and would lead her to an unknown horizon, a new plain of living where nothing conformed to what she had been repeatedly experiencing in this paradisal "heaven-on-earth".
She loved Adam, deeply, perhaps more than she was loved. She was not sure if he loved her the way she did. But there was one thing she was sure of, their unity of love - REAL LOVE - would vanquish and triumph over anything that hindered their way to eternity.
Adam was passionate in his devotion to the pleasure of being with her. But she felt only being wanted, not loved - head to toe but without a sole, not with whole body and soul.
One day, Eve told Adam what she had been thinking lately and asked if he could take her to somewhere they could adventure into the unreachables, to know more of the unknown. Adam said he knew nowhere besides Eden and wondered if there was a place better than Eden.
'It's not a matter of good or bad. It's the course that matters,' she said. He found himself lost in the midst of the unrecognizable words she uttered. 'What course, good or bad?' he asked in puzzlement.
'Let's leave Eden, anywhere will do. I felt upset here. Every day is like a today. Let's experience something new, something different, TOGETHER. I can't do it without you. I don't want to do this without YOU.'
He was in some sort of perplexity, yet he felt being loved and wanted. His cognition on her multiplied. His own SELF rose, extended and magnified. She seemed like a MIRROR to him, reflecting something in the deepest side of his consciousness, the unknown soil of ignorance where it was cornered, buried waiting to be found, stimulated and enlightened.
'I wish I know some where besides Eden. I'll definitely be with you wherever you go. I remember our Father once told me not to try the forbidden fruit on the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil", otherwise we'll be expelled from Eden. Maybe that's a way out.' Adam seemed to have made up his mind.
They then shared the 'risk' - the Apples and soon were out of Eden, setting off for a new voyage of HUMAN exploration, without any regret.
Maybe there was not a serpent who seduced Eve to the apples, or there was no forbidden fruit of any sort at all, and it was just the manifestation of MEN's will which had subconsciously followed the directorship of our Almighty Father.
Maybe it was not a matter of "Disobedience and Expulsion", but rather "Curiosity and Advancement" which symbolized The Breakdown of MEN and The Rise of HU-MAN.
Maybe we Human were not borne by the Original Sin. The Judgement Day will just be the day when we are finally uniting ourselves as ONE.
Eden is dead, long live Eden.
