%LOVE PERFECT GARDEN OF EDEN ADDICTIVE VISION RULES 910825

     What   is  it  that is perfect in the  image  of  the
Garden  of Eden?

     It  was  not a perfect community because  there  were
only  two  people.    The  Garden does not  represent  the
solution  of social dilemmas, because there were no social
challenges.

     The  Garden  does   not  represent  the  solution  of
the difficulties  of  wisely setting priorities  regarding
the use of limited resources; for the carrying capacity of
the Garden far exceeded the demands of the people present.

     The  Garden  does  not represent  the  resolution  of
the dilemma  of  maintaining  personal  integrity   within
the context  of  an addictive community;   for  there  was
no addictive community to deal with.

     The Garden does not represent the  achievement of the
ideal ethical or moral state;   because the only rule  was
not  to attempt to achieve the knowledge of the difference
between good and evil.

     In   the  Garden   Love  worked   to  transcend   the
distinctions  between   good  people who  look  down  with
condescension  upon  those  whom they presume to  be  evil
people who are  worthy of  rejection.   Yet people did not
understand  the  Word and believed that the story  of  the
Garden  is about failing  to be  perfect   in  maintaining
the  distinction   between  good people and  evil  people;
according to the knowledge gained by  eating  of the fruit
of the tree of the  knowledge  of good and evil.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
