Living in the Garden of Eden

 A daily reminder is to remind ourselves that we are living in the Garden of Eden, a highly charged energy field and in a state of innocence and always under the total protection of the Almighty. Remember the only admonition he has given us is the same he gave to our ancestors Adam and Eve and that is not to eat of the tree of knowledge which can be translated as not to buy in to “duality”. Adam and Eve bought in to duality, right and wrong and good and evil. Always remember the One Reality. In a world of Love there is no Duality. This moment is all that exists. What is in the past is no longer a Reality. The One Reality has been described over millennia by the great avatars, saints, enlightened sages and spiritual giants who have collectively agreed upon an experiential confirmable Reality. Not only did they agree on the One Reality but taught humanity various processes by which spiritual realities can be subjectively and experientially confirmed. When they bought into “duality” Adam and Eve saw themselves as bodies and came in to guilt and shame, low states of consciousness. So from a high energy field they fell into a field where they were looking at their bodies as bodies and became conscious of their body ness. So we have the birth of problems especially sexual. Historically if this event happened or not is not important, psychologically it is an event that has happened to mankind. As I went for my early morning walk to the rising of the birds it was a timely reminder to know that they are well cared for by the Divine. Nature provides for them. They are in the total care of Divinity. Man on the other hand has been given free will and an ego that gets us into all sorts of problems. The purpose of life is to transcend the state of duality that then leads us to higher states culminating in states of enlightenment and giving us our rights to enter the divine kingdom, the Garden of Eden… (Myths, allegories, fables stories, parables and legends have often been used as a teaching tool to allegorically illustrate abstract concepts of truths in more simplistic formats. The same applies to the use of humour, poetry, art and music that also uses similar metaphorical communicative styles along with paradox to highlight abstract principles and concepts) The message of truth is always the same throughout history. What one can do is to take them and supplement them with ones own Realizations and then become a Prophet unto others. There is not a single organization that has an exclusive possession of the Truth. If they claim exclusivity on the truth they can be seen to be violating basic spiritual precepts by justifying actions based on gross misinterpretations and obscure teachings. We can never say this religion is better than that. We all have different mental dispositions. In order to satisfy this there are different methods to approach it and they all have the same potential to transform the mind. This attitude allows us to develop respect towards all other major spiritual traditions. from Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary, Unabridged innocence, noun [L. innocentia, harmlessness, integrity, from innocens (-entis), harmless, innocent.] 1. the quality or state of being innocent; specifically, (a) freedom from sin, evil, or guilt; (b) freedom from knowledge of evil; (c) freedom from guile or cunning; simplicity; (d) silliness; foolishness; (e) incapability of harming, injuring, or corrupting. innocent, adjective 1. free from sin, evil or guilt; specifically (a) doing or thinking nothing morally wrong; pure; (b) not guilty of a specific crime or offense; guiltless; (c) free from evil or harmful effect or cause; that cannot harm, injure, or corrupt; (d) not malignant; benign; as, an innocent tumour. 2. (a) knowing no evil; (b) without guile or cunning; artless; simple; (c) foolish; ignorant. If one looks at the garden of Evil one can see that the serpent was aware of an intrinsic innocence within Eve’s belief systems. So although they were warned by God the serpent knew that in the unconscious is the innocence of the child who readily believes what is said. The child as it grows up cannot tell the difference between truth and falsehood and evil. So this basic innocence and trust that is within the unconscious results in man getting into all sorts of trouble and being savaged and utilized by that which has no integrity. Non integrity, negativity, falsehood knows that within the unconscious of everyone is the unsuspecting innocence of the child. A transformation is needed. What brings about transformation is the adherence to three things, Spiritual alignment, dedication and the right intention. The results are automatic as a consequence of the rising “field effect” and are not caused by the personal will which is limited. Daily life then is seen as a progressive change. Importantly the incorporation of spiritual values in ones life should be for its own sake rather than trying to control the outcome or for some imaginary gain which can then be an obstruction to the primary intention. How does one know that inner transformation is taking place is the subtle inner pleasure, peace and joy that it brings that always accompanies true spiritual endeavour. The inner knowing that one is finally on the way and is ”homeward bound” is immeasurable from the world defined by the ego, the small self to the expanded Awareness of the big Self. The constant nagging that comes from spiritual guilt that accompanies spiritual negligence and wilful indulgences of the ego’s demands and desires for gain are relieved and transcended as the transformation takes a firm hold.
