Man and Woman in the Garden
…16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” 18The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

The Serpent's Deception
…4“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. 5“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.…

Your Name, O LORD, Endures Forever
…14For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants. 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. 16They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; 17they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

Legend: where i think awakening occurs
I think Genesis is about self consciousness and our egos. We're either "with God" or caught up with our own personal story.
Adam and Eve took their identity in being God's creation so they had no need for building things or even wearing clothes. They didn't need knowledge because they just were.
Ecclesiastes 1:18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

With Wisdom Comes Sorrow
…17So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind. 18For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases.
Once you have the knowledge that Jesus died for your sins and you need only have faith and obey God and you will be saved sorrow really ceases to be a thing.
Except the sorrow you feel when people you know and love reject the truth. It's heartbreaking.
Yeah that sounds about right
oh, so you know how to shovel show?
excellent! ...
