Before seed grew in the Earth - This universal (cosmic) template of Earth (planetary) development seems finished before the thought; But now, this is the 'seed' of typical example, the finally approved seventh-day 'seed' - even as fish and fowl were not so until they could migrate with the seasons, so this 'seed' is to be understood as above the mundane specifications of order of reproductions - it is the 'seed' to which we refer when we identify this example as anointed for us. The meaning of GENESIS becomes darkened here, not by change of venue, but because the example must be (must have been) brought to Earth - even as seed may be brought to a certain place - and 'grow' with it ... and examples stir human thought, and mix with general (indigent, specious) human experience(s), and are preferred, but remain exemplary, whence the record of creation seemed, even at its early writing, to the mixed human thought that was beginning to be supplied this example, to be clearly understood, as it was the creation of the Earth and its development up till the seventh day; but (now) thereafter the example is on Earth closer to present experiential consistency, and mixes the meaning of the simple story, even to its word order. Everyone it would seem has had a hand in trying to adjust the early (even pedagogically) recollected meaning and wording of GENESIS, and the mixture shows, yet not opaquely: the result of priesthood, scientist (doctor) theory, historian (scribe) record, even gay (lawyer) pedantry (which puts the letter above the spirit, and amplifies error(s) instead).
We saw in GENESIS first a simple review of remote time, yet God was there. Now we draw near to GENESIS and ask for a clear perception amidst hampering human learning, comprehension, fears, doubts, and attempts at renewed sincerity revived from disputable idolatry. It is not the record alone that seems murkier, but mere human (un)willingness to abandon the incomprehensible largeness of God until it can no longer either accomplish that or even know what incomprehensibility might be: indeed, all creation itself did not begin with the heaven and the Earth in darkness, but before that moment, says human thought presently, 'bang, big bang, big big big bang' ... while prior events seem not only remote but incongruous: their separability to be discovered by toil in the word(s) of Truth: that is, unfoldment is the self-completeness of loving and living all of Truth. Looking back into, or attempting to look through, the specificity of example where it began, seems as a mistiness, a place and a light that yields only to going there, or to struggling to recall exactly what was there - as we might try to recall falling asleep, as we do recall waking up.
For the moment GENESIS continues looking inward upon the seventh day (phase), not forward.
But there arose a mist, and covered the face of the Earth -
We see the immediate priestly pedantry: the seventh day is never
completed in this record of GENESIS: At, we may orderly presume, the
late evening hour ca. 10PM (two-thirds of a 24hour day begun ca. 6AM,
the nominal break of morning) God contemplates even the singular point
of perfection (as Christ Jesus said, if thine eye be single then the
whole body/span of vision is full of light) one specific (line of)
example: the God-Soul-Principle (beauty or harmony) anointing
scientifically unified individuality as firstly LORD YAHWEH (Jehovah).
This is the first inkling of God as, I AM that I Am, and of
His Christ-lineage. The scientist says this is either one
instance or one more noteworthy efficacious development on
Earth: the mist (fog) indicates the temperate continental
humid cool of early spring, the seasonal (re)beginning,
the ideal planting season,
The translator self-excuses and interjects, that mist could have
read as, an open flood, or, a river diversion (for irrigation of
a hitherto dry region, or after a drought), or, a freak storm
revitalising an oasis.
And the LORD formed man of the clay ... and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life ... and called him, Adam -
The priest says any failure to see man as Godly is some wet-dust
(clay) theory being examined too closely or mentally wearyingly:
and that the clay holds a key-clue as to what constitutes
success over this specific example (and what distinguishes it
ultimately from the pre-big-bang) but more importantly it means
to the priest that all existence is inescapably God's perfect
harmony expressed by all reality. The priest also ponders that
even as a man may extend a hand, so the LORD may extend Life and
Soul, etc. even to define everything. The scientist says the
thorough study of the elements of clay (dust), water (mist), air
(aether) constituting the first entropy of thought, will awaken
thought to safety-minded (heavenly) thoughts (which are better
studied than suffered - better discerned as man, first, lest he
return too soon to clay, second). The historian says this is
exo-referential to ordinary child-birth: clean-up of fecal
debris, truncation of the umbilical, and starting the baby's
breath; man's nearness to clay should never be feared in fact nor in
food, though it will always be stirred up, washed off, after playing
in it, studying it, ... or just plain landing, setting down, and
walking on it. Discussing with the scientist the historian
suggests the clay may have elements which might stimulate
pregnancy. Then the scientist turns to the priest and entertains
the thought that the individual soul of a man begins experience
by extending control to a speck of viable chemistry (clay).
The 'gay' may say she was rutting, manipulating, mud-wrestling and
breathing 'heavy' with a local male named, Adam: coaxing him
to do her heart-felt bidding.
And the LORD planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there put
the man to tend it -
The historian says LORD Mrs. YAHWEH (landed) arrived with Adam
on the desert steppe ['eden'] of Arabia, and migrated eastward
(downslope following a shallow river, likely the Wadi Batin) to
the coast, and there planted a garden of select seed; and,
setting Adam to play therein and to learn the first rules of
living on Earth: tending the necessity to eat. The scientist
says this garden was planted where some trees grew in the
wilderness, and that the ideal study and education tends and
watches a variety of unfoldments, expanding and selecting on
that which already exists and succeeds (promoted by God alone).
The priest says the Earth brings forth food at God's preparation,
and it is wise to consider and improve what things God hath here
(ordained) prepared for man's use. The 'gay' may say
organization relieves consciousness (conscience) by devolving
responsibilities and cares upon others.
And the LORD said unto Adam, you may eat of every tree of the
garden except the tree in the midst of the garden, which you
must not touch -
The scientist says this one control tree (untended but watched)
is to be left to the so-called natural good-and-evil of the
elements, and not tended by pruning, watering, dunging-about
(dung mixed with soil, grass, and leaf rubbish, and spread and
turned-in over the roots in the shade beneath the reaching
spread of branches), nor even bird-netting, nor harvesting
(that the birds might eat thereof naturally) - Adam should not
go so close as to even touch the ground under it wherein are
the tree's roots: the tree's own fruits, rotting, and animals'
(own) dung (directly, not dug in), and the ordinary soil, rain,
and sun, would be the only sustenance control for this unkempt
'control' tree in its uncleaned spot, though it be in the very
midst of the garden itself, with and like all the other trees.
Presumably the tended trees would better thrive and fruit,
and only later compare: proving that this scientific tending
enhances productivity and yield, but does not change (fruit)
identity - later
Lest you die -
The scientist says your study must prove its efficacy to you. The
historian says Adam's progress was constantly detectable, while
taking-on larger meanings as he grew. The priest says death is
comprehensible to living thought as the consequent of a lack of
priority: putting sensuality before abundances; as loss of
(controlled) eating and study. The 'gay' may say she was being
pedantic, for better or worse, but it could have been much worse: evil
is absolute, in her thought.
And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden, and
thence branched into four heads -
The historian says the LORD taught Adam to draw water and ditch
about the trees for irrigation: part of the task of tending the
garden. The Euphrates (Puratu) and Hiddekel (now called Tigris) are
quite certainly known today, while the Pishon and Gihon may have dried
up or removed: possibly the Wadi Batin (an erstwhile broad shallow
river from the 'eden' steppe) and the Karun (river from the eastern
mountain range: specifically its rud-Khaneh-ye river-bed) -
thus placing the garden upstream from where the Wadi Batin
meets the other combined flow today. The priest says
etymologically these names indicate, and are consistent with
linguistic developments over millennia since: the head of a
river is its mouth rather than its tail: a river is the cyclic
complement of life: its life-refreshing waters pour forth from
the mouth rather than into its mouth; and just northward of
the Persian gulf seems the reasonable place for the confluence.
The scientist says agreeably this lower latitude region once
reachable by a major river (precursor to the Wadi Batin) fed
from the far western Arabian Hejez mountain range was
practically ideal for a tropical-fruit garden community,
readily accessible for public commerce by (four) confluent
transcontinental rivers into a non-tidal sea gulf (the
continental constriction of the southern end of the Persian
Gulf diminishes tide action, and keeps the gulf water fresher,
replenished more by rivers, and less mixed with open saline
ocean waters). (Additionally the availability of oil should
have aided the advance of society. And looking ahead into
Scripture we see the broadly inundating flood in Noah's time
could easily have (slowly) wafted and floated the ark to the
same locale, thus replacing Mount Ararat as a mound which caught the
ark and restrained it from floating back-out [further] into the middle
of the gulf. The priest agrees the first syllables of Ararat, 'ar' or
'arar', usually refer to mountainous earth, while the other common
prefix, 'al' on place names, refers to the expanse farther
And the LORD made every creature and brought it to Adam, to
see what he would call them -
The historian says Adam was given pets of the tamer local
animals, and he was shown others at a distance, to begin
thinking about taxonomic (pre-nomenclature) mnemonic criteria -
since the LORD Mrs. YAHWEH (herself a spacer) had no Earthly
names for these, Adam's pet-names would do. (In today's parlance Adam
might call an agile leaping, pouncing catcher, a 'catch' or
'cat'; a playful, short tail wagger, a 'tag' or 'tug' or a
'dock'
And the LORD caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and the
LORD took a rib from Adam, closing up the flesh instead thereof,
and from this rib formed a woman, an help meet for Adam; and
Adam called her, Eve -
Unraveling this, the historian says Adam's mommy, (the
pregnant) Mrs. YAHWEH, told (young) Adam, he would have a baby
sister, a little child playmate like himself, but who would
grow up to be a woman, a mommy herself. When Adam asked where
the baby, is now, she replied, in the belly, and that (is)
below the lower rib(s), to which she pointed and poked (him), to
explain, but she would not let Adam poke her belly (nor the
baby). Subsequently the baby birthed one night while Adam was asleep,
and it didn't even wake him: she must have quietly begun breast
feeding immediately. (The scientist nudges the historian in
the side, and whispers: it is also possible that Adam sported
an abdominal surgery scar from his (spacer) days, and
subsequently folded that into the same story ... the historian
whispers back, perhaps infant Adam swallowed a metal safety-pin
which broke, requiring surgical removal: that would also
explain Christ Jesus' wounds by the sword and nails of the
crucifixion). The educator-priest, wide-eyed overhearing the
scientist and historian cross-whispering says, useful changes
and improvements occur when the subject (thought) mentality is
freely exercised, and the object (body) is calm (or gliding)
untroubled, as clay is fashioned on a steady (spinning)
potter's table, so students must first sit quietly and read
and write their own thoughts. The scientist says (aloud)
mankind is generically one complementary sex (pair), a
homosexual group heterosexually distinguished, that man and
woman have not a differing fashion, and so do not mate with
the animals that were separately fashioned, though
distinguished in development as individuals, male and female:
man and woman share this same inner, as well as outwardly,
basic man-ness. The priest says that sleepy (childish)
humanity awakes first to find it is not alone, unpeered,
before it learns its (truer) cause and course, and
self-government; And further very importantly to the cogent
development of humanity we see consequences in later Scripture
that require this awakening: that firstly Adam and Eve were
fully brother and sister (not halfly), that neither shall
treat the other as fashioned of clay anymore so than himself
and herself, and that the subsequent marriage of full brother
and sister tends to result in murderously moronic children,
which tendency can be cured to normal only by an effort worth
a century of prayer and fasting, and truncation of looseness
about sex, as Abraham learned to do. The 'gay' may say this royal
inbred moronicity aids in the selection of a lineal successor, and
brings (him) back closer to (his) LORD - [closer to where (he) fell
asleep, quips the priest] - and that besides, the rib is a meta-form
(metaphor) for another anatomical part necessary to child-getting.
The priest recoiling at the gay blatancy, stipulates the
fair certainty that Adam was a mere child, incapable of
reproduction for some years. The 'gay' reasserts his audacity,
remarking with certain cool self-reassurance, that, she got
Eve by incest. The priest scowls, and the mediator waves for
silence. The scientist exonerates, saying, genetic extraction
from (rib) bone marrow is a scientific possibility. The
mediator waves, again. The 'gay' mocks indignantly, it's the
spirit of the heart. The priest grumbles audibly, that the two
angels who got Lot out of Sodom could have been penitent 'gay's
sacrificing themselves in Lot's place, for they knew how to
blind the men of Sodom. (The mediator calls for order).
(Notice in (this) exegetic development the appearance of the
moral scientist, and the decline of the ordinary priest
entangling with the self-neutralizing 'gay' - JER31:37 prophesied
from this moral science, that the time would come when the
gay literal liberalism and the priests' liberal literalism
(which the gentile warrior mentality could not distinguish)
would be quashed by an irreconcilable science in a holocaustic
genocide
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field,
and enticed Eve (and so Adam) to eat of the tree of the
knowledge of good-and-evil whereof the LORD said they would
die -
Adam's mommy had said, (we) shall not tend nor eat of this one
control tree; whereas Adam had childishly told his little
sister, Eve, just don't (you) touch it: Adam was impressed
with being obedient, and had yet to discern the long-term
benefits of scientific methods. Eve on the other hand was
certainly an Earth-baby, having no recollections to draw upon
that would support ought but necessity and its immediacy:
even Mrs. YAHWEH had to struggle with this in Eve, both
because Eve was a girl (female as herself) and because Eve
came along after the garden establishment and so felt its
provisional good - also because she'd taught them to speak
good words to every creature (as facility to their language
learning, and lordship over the whole Earth). History tends
to perpetuate these qualities in offspring generations,
and so seems to mentally stereotype-cast associations of
quality and quantity, gender and character. What Adam told
as recollection from prior to Eve, Eve countered with
invention and self-centered, self-involved inference.
While her older brother studied his gardening, Eve occupied
her child-thought with the animal behaviours of his (named) pets,
and imagined their doll-like conversations. Whether the snake
expressed gazing intelligence that she typified as talking,
or habituated itself in patterns that piqued her self-curiosity,
or whether in speaking to it she heard an angelic-echoic voice
replying in her own thought (even as YAHWEH could refer to,
the voice of blood crying to her: at Abel's murder) or,
whether, she dreamed such Earthly dreams, and pondered what
was inside the Earth (where the snake lived) - rather than
before the Earth (even to purposefully distinguishing herself
from her older brother) - so we find a societal progress that
includes them both less involved with their mommy,
even to imitating her 'clothes' making skills with fig leaves.
Mrs. YAHWEH scolded them for disturbing the reserved (control)
tree, but then examined their opinion of it, and again
counseled
Adam said, the woman beguiled me ... which the LORD reprimanded
and lamented: lest they now take of the tree of life also, and live
forever -
This tree-of-life was previously mentioned, but unremarkable - here it
is clearly a tree of survival only (or absolutely eternally identified
as of only life), that is implicitly a loss of fruitage, of temporal
unfoldment and its demonstration of immortal life, whence this tree is
an anathema: as a flowering weed (a living tree in which birds may
roost, and feed on its seeds and bugs, but altogether fruitless) to
the mortal sense of (individual, productive) life, here, now - but
this serves to only chide Adam with stupidity for his disobedience:
that he now not also eat (nuts, seeds, leaves, and bark) and so live
as mankind, only generically, as the mere animals, forever but
collectively. This undertones with the thought that The Forever 'eats'
all things, in every manner (whence priests' burnt sacrifices).
And the LORD sent Adam and Eve away from the garden, to till
the less yielding soil of the Earth; and the LORD set a turning
flaming sword to guard the garden, lest they should return -
With what little they'd learned about agriculture and animal culture
from mommy, and from contemporary nature, Adam and Eve escaped
downstream the suddenly erupting landscape venting its natural gas
fumes and flames ... never to return in six thousand years. Mrs.
YAHWEH either let them
[We must note here in closing that the plausible actual
would become speculative if we merely imagine what persons
may have done, said, meant ... the importance is in the
demonstration of the Christ Science: not to rediscover
that which is today abundant, but discern and live it]
