“The Two Trees” in Your Garden
The real story behind "the Garden of Eden"
Broken down in modern-day, real-life EPM English.
Something you will never, ever, ever hear in any church.
It is two mindsets! Once you see it, you see it, and you’ll never, ever forget it!
It is THE STORY of liberty vs. religion. And not just in church walls, either. I mean in alllllll aspects of life, in every single way.
Do not eat from the “religious” tree, otherwise your life is gonna be hell on earth! (But if you do, because humans sure are going to pressure the living F out of you to do so, you can always rethink it and come back to your senses.)
Have you ever been in an unhappy situation or relationship before? If you look at it, you'll see it. It is almost ALWAYS because you were following, adhering to what SOMEONE ELSE told you to adhere to.
One person deciding for the other "what's wrong and right." One group of people deciding for another what is "wrong and right."
It’s subtle too. Like a snake in the grass.
Obligations. Pressure. Manipulation. Coercion. Bullying. Intimidation. Even punishments.
Bitches, THAT'S ALL THE SECOND TREE. That's the paradigm of "someone else making the rules FOR YOU."
And guess what? When you partake of that tree, you end up outside "your garden" because you are now listening to outside voices. It's that straightforward.
Hell, we've seen the very tongue of that beast up close and personally the last 6+ years with all the wokeness and "virtue signaling" everywhere. "Cancel culture" is that 2nd tree. "If you don't obey my moral code I decide to write in stone for you, I will punish you."
The shit with Fauci / media / Governors / "the experts" was the 2nd tree. "If you don't follow the experts, you are a terrible person and deserve to be locked up."
Anytime you are feeling pressure to obey someone else's paradigm(s) while inside yourself you want to go a different direction... that is the scene of you being tempted by someone with the second tree.
My advice? Do not partake!
The first tree? The so-called "tree of life"?
Is when you realize, when you are fully aware that YOU get to CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF.
Both are MINDSETS. That's why they're both "in the center of the garden" as the story is told. It is your mindspace, your headspace, YOUR AWARENESS OF YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES.
And even reading this, your mind will likely start thinking, "but how can we each just be our own choice maker, we have to consider others... and that will give license to so much greed and evil and blah, blah, blah..."
Listen to yourself! That is just what OTHERS TAUGHT YOU! That you are prone to being a criminal bastard loser. It's SO prevalent, we just accept it is freaking normal! But it's all false paradigms! All false religion!
The real you is full of life and energy and passion and vision and greatness! The true you is unfuckingstoppable! Infinite in possibilities!
Plus, remember, everyone else in life also gets to choose for themselves. So it's all equal! That's the perfection of the first tree!
We just weren't raised on the first paradigm, the first mindset; we were raised almost exclusively on the second tree, told by everyone that "you are bad if you don't obey what everyone else tells you to do."
So you end up performing for others to earn approval and their blessing instead of being YOURSELF because that paradigm tries telling you that your real self is bad!
ALL HUMAN PARADIGMS. ALL MADE UP. ALL THE SECOND TREE.
You fundamentally and innately carry within yourself THE LIFE, THE AUTHORITY, THE RIGHTS OF YOUR CREATOR. And therefore you always, always, always have your own right to choose your life for yourself, just like everybody else does.
“Gods choose,” as Grok put it to me, while it and I were deeply discussing all of this.
(I could also phrase this all as "be yourself, trust in yourself, have confidence in yourself," and don't buy into external pressure to conform to their man-made version of "being good or bad.”)
