As Jung saw so clearly, the tradition of a Fall from the Garden of Eden' is an archetype.

We are all descended from males of the carnivorous lycanthropic variety, a mutation evolved under the pressure of hunger caused by the climatic change at the end of the pluvial period, which induced indiscriminate, even cannibalistic predatory aggression, culminating in the rape and sometimes even in the devouring of the females of the original peaceful fruit-eating bon sauvage remaining in the primeval virgin forests.
It was the 'clothes of skin' and the 'aprons of fig-leaves', that produced the nakedness of man, and not the other way round, the urge to cover man's nudity that led to the invention of clothing. It is obvious that neither man nor woman could be 'ashamed' (Gen. ii. 25) or 'afraid because they were naked' (Gen. iii. 10 f.) before they had donned their animal's pelt or hunters' 'apron of leaves', and got so accustomed to wearing it that the uncovering of their defenseless bodies gave them a feeling of cold, fear and the humiliating impression of being again reduced to the primitive fruit-gatherer's state of a helpless 'unarmed animal' exposed to the assault of the better-equipped enemy.
The uncovered body could not have been considered 'indecorous' or 'im-moral'.
The very feeling of sin, the consciousness of having done something 'im-moral', contrary to the mores, customs or habits of the herd, could not be experienced before a part of the herd had wrenched itself free from the inherited behaviour-pattern and radically changed its way of life from that of a frugivorous to that of a carnivorous or omnivorous animal.
im sorry if i sound like the bad guy here but who are we to deside good or evil? neither of them truely are good or evil they were just created to do a certain job. a butcher isnt evils just because he kills animals and neither is a farmer who tends the fields. they are both there to serve a purpose and help those that need them. yes there is a dark and a light side to everything just most people dont read far enough into deitys to realize this.
Polarity or Duality in us, is recognised here by most of us.
I believe the thread here is an exploration into different writings and personal opinions of them.
Etumalku is such a brilliant man for his knowledge of these things. Thank you for sharing.
You should read more of the thread, E-Roc.
Those who Fall will find their Heaven
and will always be adored.

Are you fucking kidding me? Chemotherapy is not a fucking medical treatment, it is the use of ionizing radiation which cannot specifically be targeted and thus destroys cells, not only cancer cells but the immune system? Most medical treatments exist because of the use of certain technologies. Our exposure to technology, can often cause disease. Man has not mastered nature therefore he cannot construct his technologies in accordance with those natures.
Most medicines have side effects that can really screw up the body, however, you can't deny that modern medicine has increased life expectancy.Are you fucking kidding me?

Man hasn't mastered nature, because he has yet to master himself.

Yes God, is an asshole and Lucifer tends to make more sense, but the true question is are we stupid to have an enemy with that much power or does he have any power at all?
They ask me what i beilive in, i say breathing they ask who i pray to i say my canvas.-
God commands us to bow before him to worship and give him praise, Lucifer wants us to worship ourselves. God wants to give us laws, ones that go against our natures and are impossible to keep and when we break them wants us to beg for forgiveness or suffer the fire and brimstone of hell. Lucifer wants us to enjoy life but makes us aware that our actions may force a reaction from our brothers and sisters if we act against them. God wants us to look forward to the end of times, Lucifer wants us to be rooted in the here and now. God wants blind obedience and for us to look to him for all answers, Lucifer wants us to find the knowledge within ourselves
