EVE: FOUNDATION OF RESURECTION

Home is where the heart is.  By reflex, the heart is where home is!  Love the ultimate expression of harmony is expressed from that “house”.  The meeting ground for perfect balance between all opposites.  The male and female.  The mind and emotion.  The yin and yang as well as that which we term good and evil.  It is also where the spirit in man meets the spirit of its maker, God!   While it is true that the spirit of God may enter man through the mind, knowledge of God is not enough.  True harmony with God can only occur when that knowledge is brought down into the heart to become joined in “understanding”  through love.  The “state” called Eden was the state of perfect harmony resulting from true and perfect love.  The love of God for man which at first was reciprocated.  Man loved God too!  He was a babe in the nursery of Eden.  Tucked safely in paradise.   We fell from that perfect harmony, led by the emotional desire nature, turning or deviating from the first love to satisfy its own need to “feel” good.  The “weaker” of the mind/emotion pair used its “freewill” to go against the establish basis for harmonic balance.  The biblical story of Adam and Eve says that “the forbidden” fruit came from the tree “of the knowledge” of good and evil.  There was no sin or “falling short” of God’s standard because there was no sense of wrong.  Harmony.  Balance.  Love.  The opposites resting in each other as one.   These existed, but not good and evil!  Not until the quest for “knowledge” began.  Interestingly, that quest began by going in the opposite direction to knowledge.  The “weaker” emotional desire nature seated in the stomach to sexual organ regions as represented by the feminine force, Eve becomes the first to step out of harmony.  Not by virtue of wanting to really “know”, but by wanting to “feel”.  She thought that since it looked good, desire kicking in said it must taste good.   Material desire of the belly overrules the spiritual principal of the mind.  Her “sinking” to the “tempter” wiles was still only one half of the key.  In going to Adam, the “cat” of desire already being out of the bag, she offered the “new treat” to him.  Adam completed the deviation by going upward, his realm being the mind and “rationalizing” that it must be alright led also by desire to please her.  Notice she was not ashamed of her nakedness until Adam sealed the deal.  He could have stopped the process by refusing to disobey.  Deviation from God had to occur in both directions from the heart, from home, Eden, love.   Striking out first in a negative downward move of desire that then rebounded to the opposite extreme of mental laziness.  He chose not to do the right thing and the separation of mans mind and emotions was set into motion.  This process was necessary for many reasons.  One being that in order to truly become heirs and Sons of God we need to acquire knowledge.  It would not do for us to remain as babies in a sandbox.  Also, Eve as the apparent “cause” of the downfall, ultimately shall be resurrected as the cause of mans reinstatement.  Is not the desire for God, the virginal state that became the fertile ground for the birth of Christ.
