Paradise lost- Ralph Kenneth Daniels

 

The Lord said: "Let there be light". In that Light He created all things good -the earth, plants, insects, fishes, birds, beasts, man and woman . He prepared Eden, a special place of peace for the man and woman. In the center of Eden he placed two most significant trees. The Tree of the Soul bore apples of Divine Love and Compassion The other Tree of the  Intellect bore the  apples of Knowledge of outer life.

An evil talking Serpent roamed the Garden and preyed on the  ambitious desires of Eve and Adam . When they learned from him that the apples of the intellect would give them so much knowledge of physical things that they would be come as Gods and Goddesses in this very life time- they were flabbergasted . Suspicion arose as to what was the true purpose of their creation.

just the memory

 

The Lord saw them eat. He gave them new "coats of skin "and cast them out of His Garden. He placed an angel before the Gate with power the stop them from gaining re-entry. So they could no longer enjoy the  apples of the soul. The Lord sentenced the companions to hard labor. For Adam it was labor in the outer fields for a livelihood. For Eve it was labor to bear off-springs. Hard time was ushered in ever since for humanity.
