BRAIN DUMP

175 • THE GARDEN OF EDEN

175 • THE GARDEN OF EDEN

This ‘About The Tings’ episode may be a bit all over the place, but the main topic is The Garden of Eden.

I wonder:
Was the Garden of Eden a Paradise Prison?,
Who was God?,
Who is the Creator?,
Are we inside of some sort of Sketchbook?,
Are we destined to become Creators?,
Who was the Serpent?,
How is the Dream Realm related to all of this?

So many questions, so few answers, but I find it fun thinking about this sort of stuff.

I finish the episode off, by reading a chapter from the book ‘The Impersonal Life by Joseph S. Benner’.

Hope you find this one thought provoking.

173 • CONFRONTATION AND BAD HABITS
