C. the garden of eden

The Garden of Eden.

The Garden of Eden seems to me to be a fable that means the following; Paradise is the human mind before one starts to sin. One is in a peaceful state of mind (paradise) until one starts taking the wrong decisions. It is delusions and lies that leads us to take wrong decisions, thus doing the wrong things and thus becoming unhappy.

Once one has done the wrong thing and has become displeased with oneself, it is one’s conscience (God) which sends one out of Paradise, or a happy state of mind and thought, into the wilderness (or an unhappy mind-frame and existence). Once one has done a bad deed it is always on your conscience, and whenever you think back on it, it makes you unhappy in thought.

As human beings we are always caught between "God" and "the Devil"; or right and wrong...
