The story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit does ring a bit true for me when I think about the creation of Humans and the Human experience. I believe God was rather obsessed with giving us as much freedom of will as possible. For starters, he wants to live with fellow beings for eternity, not computers. I have a feeling that he also felt that we would also desire to have as much knowledge as possible as well. Lastly, I am also sure that God felt it was moral and ethical to give us as much freedom of will as possible.
I really think we are in this current situation because God gave us and the first Holy Spirit (Lucifer) too much freedom of will. He did this for the best possible reasons, but it has proven a bit disastrous. He let us bite the forbidden fruit and in his own way took a bite of the fruit himself.
We are seeing the consequences of too much freedom of will. To try and look at it through a positive lens, at least we’ll always have hard proof and a history of why we can’t have more freedom of will then we will have in Heaven. I believe we will have as much freedom of will that God can possibly give us.
I wonder though if in the Metaverse or Oasis if God wouldn’t let us play around with different levels of freedom of will as a philosophical exercise or ways of living. I think we will try out many different philosophical styles of living during our eternal lives. If you were to alter even one little thing like we wouldn’t have to sweat anymore in this world, it would make for a pretty big change. I think we will try out many different styles of living and write about them, make songs about them, try to get other people to try them, movies, etc. But I do feel in the base of our Heavenly existence, we will have the perfect amount of freedom of will. One that allows us to live our best lives.
That is what the story of Adam & Eve and the Tree of Knowledge means to me though. I see it as the story of Freedom of Will. That God wanted to give us as much freedom of will as possible but ended up giving us a little too much. And now we are in the process of fixing the mess that it all caused, with the new and perfect world that God created waiting for us when this is over.
It’s so surreal to realize we are at the beginning of Human Creation and the Human Experience. It can be so hard to believe that we are living in that moment. Feels like it is something that would have happened to another group of people. But we are living in that moment. Heaven History. Mind blowing really. God has always existed and has created us to spend Eternity with him. Our lives are just beginning. Humans were just created. We are living in that moment.
