they had just eaten

the tree of life, they still made
no ovations of intent that they even
wanted to eat from it.
the tree of life was right there,
and they had just eaten from some
tree of knowledge of good and evil.
and yet, they did not eat from the tree
that, purportedly, would have given
them life for ever.
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
is therefore, not very helpful.
they eat, they hide

that being said,
if we go directly to the conclusion,
and look at "Life and Death"
one may ask themselves how -they-
would go about balancing 'life and death'.
in some respects it would seem that the very
best anyone could do is to flap their arms
as they fall into the grand canyon.
until and unless you even identify that
which -is- "Life" you cannot possibly
'balance' the predisposition towards death.
i mean, you could take cold showers and
hot baths or lay in a lukewarm body
temperature environment, and things
of this nature, and find that none
of these -increase- the balance of
'life' with respect to 'death'
so, you eat food that tingles all four
sensory receptors on your toungue.
that may be thrilling and 'taste' nice,
but it does nothing to -increase- your
balance of 'life' with respect to 'death'
and you take up with Renfield and start eating
live bugs so as to, you suppose, take their
'life force' directly into your being and
thereby -increase- your own 'lifeforce'
and find that this is a meaningless gesture
in pseudo-fanaticism to an idol of the 'Undead'.

that's part of the whole point,
God leaves an impression upon 'you'
which is conscious and alive, in itself,
and is not just a dent made by some
stone that hit 'you' in the head.
so, you're born a human being
and immediately, sense stimuli
begin leaving their marks upon 'you'
and 'you' are basically finding ways
of ordering things in ways that give
you some sense of comprehensibility,
and in so doing, 'you' get put
in order by the sense stimuli.
this is all old news,
but memory
being the transient creature
that it is,
oftentimes requires reinforcement.
so, the material world unconsciously
erects an idol to itself, in 'you',
which persistent hammering can do
little to prevent and/or alter.

prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is
your Father."
16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I
have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is
dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword,
and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against
two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the
son against the father. And they will stand solitary."

So, when he had gone out, Jesus said,
“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and
God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified
in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself,
and glorify Him immediately. Little children,
I shall be with you a little while longer.
You will seek Me; and as I said to those
other people, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’
so now I say to you. A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another; as I have loved you,
that you also love one another. By this all
will know that you are My disciples, if you
have love for one another.”
John 13:31-35
