leskey.
---I know that I am breaking up your entire concept, but I am just showing my agreement, disagreement and questions to/for each of the separate parts.

Thought precedes action.
---Thought or instinct, but yeah, that is the basics.

So, "the thought" lead to "the action."
---True.
Quote:
"The thought" was "the sin." "The sin" was the very first perception of an "other." Whereas A&E had previously only sensed/known their unity/oneness, they were now aware of their differences and it was an anathema to them.
---So being separate and being aware that they were separate, even as they were still one with the unity/oneness caused them to feel sin or that it was wrong?
---That is quite likely.
---The idea/knowledge, that there is something outside of what is known within the Garden, could be what the fruit of the tree gave to Adam & Eve. What do you think?
---I think the thought that ‘love’ is the root cause of ‘evil’, on that level of perception, could be what Tina might be thinking about, though.


The world is the way it is, because we like it this way.
Otherwise, we would change it.
