the myth of the fall

it is told,
by many,
that eve partook of the fig of knowledge and thus began the disrepair of humankind.
this is - well! - an truth, but a shaky one.
there are layers to being, see.
there is, in a manner of which i am content at least at this juncture to refer,
sleep and wake,
and all many in betwixt!
sleep within sleep, lo! and sleep within wake -
and.
eve's partake
was but the first venture of human into the world of being sleepless within.
this was - however!
not simply the original break - the first movement towards true understanding of time and death.
this was the being of all such.
this was - and is! - the moment of all - any! - wakefulness.
and yet! the moment of true dream.
eve woke into the dream of true life.
eve gave to us all the depth of be.
the greatest gift given to any sinch JHWH indeed partook to transcribe all.
and the break with JHWH! - ah! - but was this not the truest and most godlike of all human ventures!
well, childs, i shall tell thee now,
that yes,
it was.
