forbidden fruit

( knoxnews )

There's always been a forbidden fruit,

and there always will be.

There's always something that

within our conscience,

we know we should not do.

(Our conscience, by the way, is that ever flowing,

border crossing,

spiritual entity

that both dictates our individual actions

and unites human - kind.

Essentially, our conscience

is the essence of the Creator

that we all share.

)

The moment of The Fall was

the moment of evolution

during which

humans recognized they could discriminate,

understand,

and make decisions

that are both in tune with the

and, 

more significantly,

contrary to 

the will of the Universal Conscience.

It set us in motion to become
Creators
in our own right --

So, to reinterpret

that story that I love to interpret

and reinterpret so much:

some early humans

with the initials A and E

once upon a time

were the first to have the capacity

to make a choice 

,

to ignore the voice of Conscience

and do something contrary to the wishes

of the Universal Good,

and then, they also chose

to pretend that what they did

was just fine.

Thus began

the game of deception that we call Civilization.

( igniq )

We have made the terrific mistake

over the centuries

of believing that our conscience

is individual,

when in fact

it is the steady constant

that provides universal ethics

for harmonious living.

The voice of God

screams out from the depths

of the You

you currently occupy;

it demands

that You cooperate

and collaborate

with your fellow Humans

(and the other animals, as well).

We have stifled the Voice Inside for far far

too long.

If you hear a voice screaming

in your head right now,

as I do,

a voice you cannot ignore,

it is the voice of our shared consciousness

and our source

demanding to be heard.

Listen to it.

Just a Cakepan

( kenoath )

Each personality has

two sides:

a good side and a bad side

or

a bad side and a good side

(everything's relative, eh?)

This is what happened:

When God created man

and woman

in his own image,

each was given the miserable task

of containing both

sides of God,

while also

being both sides of God.

 The good side is                    The bad side is

the side that                                           the side of inadequacies

has done goodness                       and insufficiencies.

it is the side of                   Of Guilt and

completeness               jealousy

But you see, both of these sides

are the two sides of The God;

for - don't forget - God had

to divide itself

in order to be able to

see itself.

It had to produce

its negative.

( meijer )

Think of it: it's like a 

cakepan; I saw one today;

it was shaped like a football

stadium - but as you know,

for a cake pan to produce 

a cake that looks like

a football stadium, it

has to be the inverse,

so too the creation:

what

God made was the inverse

of God -- God's opposite,

and that's what the universe

is.

Like a cake pan.

( meijer )

The thing is --

the problem with being human,

is we are created

in God's image,

which means

we have the unfortunate

task of containing two

sides, both good & bad

- the outverse & the inverse -

in our own psyches.

Each one of us has a good;

each one of us has a bad.

( cosmomagazine )

The thing that keeps us from

going crazy

over the fact

we have both a good and a bad

is a thing called

conscience.

Conscience,

of course,

is an abstraction;

it pushes us 

into the realm of that

which is not

physical.

We contain it in our

avatars.

It is

the location where

the energy from the brain

and 

the energy from the heart

meet;

if we must give it a location:

it's in the heart.

~ ~ ~

You see, we're just giant

multiband

radio beacons:

we negotiate frequencies

on different sites 

of our bodies.

If everything

is working,

we produce harmony --

better known as

love.

( scientificamerican )

People who have brain

damage

cannot do this,

because

the brain is the seat

of the master cylinder,

so to speak,

the apparatus

that helps us

maintain this balance

of frequences

and likewise produces

love.

Inversely,

some people 

have an excess of that capacity;

and on this earthly plain,

those people 

have their exact opposite

among those

who are depleted.

There is an extraordinary

uncanny

link

between two entities that are

absolute opposites.

They feel they are supposed to be

together,

because

they are like God together,

and there is a point

in their psyches

where they meet

precisely.

)(

Ideally, two exact opposites should meet

in order to find

absolute happinesss

)(

But don't despair;

if you have not found your exact opposite:

we are all linked;

we are linked

by something stronger

if we let that something stronger

be.

Forgiving

Compassionate

Unselfish

If we could use that capacity,

which we are all 

capable of doing,

we could adhere

our oppositions

and be

the perfection

God wants us to be.

You see,

when they ate that old

tomato,

Adam and Eve

came to realize

they were two

and this was complicated

by tthe two-ness they both

contained within

and both their bad sides

felt guilty,

but didn't know how to tell

each other.

That

was the nature 

of the fall  --

it's been our tasks

ever since

to rectify it.

4.

Cakepans:

we have to recognize

that opposition

is integral to

our 

identity.

and forgive

and forget

and to never

do

again.
