>>24015692>Was the Eve, serpent and apple tale about sexual temptation?no.
Paradise Lost, was about Man acquiring knowledge or gnosis. God placed Adam in the "garden" to keep him in a state of deep sleep, a spiritual amnesia. The goal was to prevent humans from realizing they possessed a divine spark. Prohibition of eating from the Tree of Knowledge was a control measure meant to keep Man inside this cage.The Serpent liberated Man, placing Man on a path of becoming a God. In Jewish mythology, it was God that lied (Gen 2:17) to Man, while the Serpent told the truth (Gen 3:4)
The Jewish Tree of Knowledge, was a retelling of Odin crucifying himself to himself on the World Tree Yggdrasil, to bring the knowledge/gnosis of the Runes to Man.
