Love, Truth, Consciousness, Christ
The Bible takes us
From the garden
To the time of Christ
And Christ takes us
Back to the garden
Where it all began
When the wisdom of God
Became the knowledge of man
Genesis 3:22
“And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil…”
The cross represents death
As does the tree of knowledge
These two are the same tree
And the word of God
Is the fruit of that tree
Jesus said
Eat my flesh
And drink my blood
And when she did
Her eyes were opened
St. John 6:54
“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Genesis 3:7
“And the eyes of them both were opened…”
The world he saved
Was this world
The one we have created
The one we live in now
He put the knowledge
Of this world
In a tree
The tree of knowledge
Of good and evil
The name of the tree tells us
That to have knowledge
We must know both
Good and evil
And for these two
To grow from
The same seed
Tells us
You cannot
Have one
Without the other
How is it
Good and evil
Grow together
In one tree
Everything we know now
Was in that tree
We are the gods
They wanted to be
Genesis 3:5
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Psalms 82:6
“I have said, Ye are gods…”
Are we a product
Of the tree of knowledge
Of good and evil
Or are we an offspring
Of the tree of life
Which tree did
We fall from
Before
The Word of God
Appears
It must first
Take root
Genesis 3:24
“So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Revelations 22:16
“…I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”
Were Adam and Eve
Transformed into
Something different
When they ate
From that tree
Or did they become
Aware of everything
That was already there
Genesis 3:7
“And the eyes of them both were opened…”
We can take
The book
From the tree
But we cannot
Take the tree
From the book
They are inseparable
Christ and his cross
I am his cross to bear
In all innocence
And out of curiosity
I dared to question
Why did he put
That tree in the garden
And it was by that question
That my faith in God
Became secured
In that by my question
It proved my faith
In the creation story
And he answered me
For my salvation
Did he put the tree
In the garden
And at that moment
Did I know my place
And my purpose
