I did it with 4 of my closest friends at the time in college. All of us were experienced in tripping lsd, shrooms and Molly at the festivals we would frequently go to together.
But none of us had any idea what we were actually getting into that day. Thank God we made sure we had baby sitters that day lol. I could write an entire book about my experiences during those 10 hours.
I actually broke down at one point as I watched the story of Adam and eve be shown to me in real time. What was exceptional about the version I witnessed though was that Adam knew perfectly well what the consequences for Eve eating the forbidden fruit were. And he wasn't deceived at all.
Rather, he cared about Eve so deeply that he knew he couldn't be happy alone in paradise while knowing she was suffering alone back on earth. So he ate from the fruit willingly and accepted his fate. For he'd rather live suffering with Eve than to allow her to have to suffer alone. It was such an emotionally moving story to see... and I'm usually very cold, logical and aloof to emotional things like that.
That was the last time I ever had any reservations about the existence of a creator. Definitely on my list of most impactful experiences of my life.
I don’t think you are to love anything or anyone more than God. There is a sacrificial story in the Bible, Abraham & Issac.
Adam sinned, but it was about eating the forbidden fruit. I wonder what God would have done if Adam made the faithful decision.
What does that mean? That Adam could not have eaten from the fruit for Eve's sake, because he was supposed to love God more?
But they were human, and they did anyway? I'm just giving my personal experience of what I saw and how it was portrayed to me from a different angle.
And when Adam sinned, I always took that to mean that his sin was disobeying God's desire for them not to eat from the particular tree.
And at the very end of your comment, which fateful decision are you referring to?
“faithful” decision would’ve been loving God more than Eve. Maybe God would’ve made Adam another woman. Oneitis is deadly
What a beautiful story. Poignant. Heart-wrenching.
That's the take from "Paradise Lost" by John Milton.
One of the classics of English literature.
Lol thanks. I still feel like a fruit whenever I tell that story.
Do you know what that fruit represents? Fruit from the tree of Good & evil... Because they abused sexuality and defiled the holy spirit they came to know suffering and all things bad... it's because they orgasmed during sex. That is the original sin, the highest crime you can commit against the holy spirit is to spill the sexual seed. Before they had been having sacred sex (without orgasming = fornication) and lust didn't exist, just love. So they made love and had sex but without orgasm and without lust. That is when suffering for humans began, when before we were perfectly pure as children.
