the devil (us tormenting ourselves) chose knowledge (consciousness or EGO). with no ego there is no consciousness, there is no "I". choosing knowledge we chose death. we created the "I" that dies.
everyone knows there isnt really a bunny running around a tree and coming up through a hole, but it helps get the shoes tied. pointing out there is no bunny is kind of silly, no?

This is a really cool take and perspective. Forgive my lack of awareness but are there any stories about the Tree of Life similar to Adam and Eve re: Tree of Knowledge?
I always wanted to learn and hear more about the Life tree but perhaps I didn't know where to look or who to ask since everyone focuses on the Adam and Eve story.
