The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a parable. The following symbology applies.
1. “Satan” – represents the mortal condition and associated mortal temptation, whether
2. “serpent” –
3. Mouth of the serpent – represents human female reproductive anatomy
4. Human female reproductive anatomy – path to human reproduction
5. Human reproduction – the program of Creation of the Most High Elohim
6. Mortal life – where all human beings gain wisdom for themselves
7. Eternal life – the life of the Most High Elohim
Tree Symbology
– Tree of knowledge of good and evil: represents mortal life
– Fruit of the tree of knowledge: wisdom gained from mortal existence
– Partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge: Entering mortality, Adam and Eve transforming from immortality to mortality and leaving the Garden
– Tree of life: tree of eternal life at all levels
– Fruit of the tree of eternal life: human life as the Elohim
Consider the figurative representation. No childbirth was allowed to Adam and Eve in the Garden. Children only emanated following departure into mortal state.
The common reference to a “serpent” often signifies an entity that deceives others. One who lies often receives the label of “snake” or “serpent” as a result. In the story of Adam and Eve, however, there was no animal involved. As plainly observed from the image above, the reference to the “serpent” in the Garden of Eden parable is a reference to the mouth of the serpent that clearly resembles the shape of human female reproductive anatomy which is the only path to the initiation of the human family. Thus, the “serpent” in the Garden of Eden represents not an animal nor the mouth of the animal but human reproduction which was unavailable to Adam and Even while they were in the Garden in their initial immortal state, having been created in the image and likeness of the Most High Elohim, meaning immortal. The parents of the human family both knew long before the events of the parable that they were as infants in the Garden and that they had to pass into mortality to generate offspring and continue the program of Creation of the Most High Elohim, they themselves performing the essential role of bringing humans into mortality. So they were not “tempted by a snake” in the Garden – they were drawn by the necessity of leaving the Garden and their immortal state to enter mortality and thus proceed with the next phase of the program of Creation set in place by the Elohim.
Thus, the “serpent” in the parable story was not a serpent but a representation of the lure of human reproduction that led Adam and Even to “partake of the fruit,” which means initiating the process that transformed them from immortality to mortality.
but it was the the “serpent” of mortality – the lure of mortal reproduction – seems to have beguiled Adam and Eve (immortal yet childless in the Garden) such that they knowingly and willingly followed a deliberate and painstaking process making themselves worthy of becoming cast out of the Garden, meaning separated from the influence of the Holy Creators.
The entire story is a parable designed to instruct. Adam and Eve were raised by the Elohim from infant status and thus knew the plan of mortality long before they decided to takes the steps towards mortality. “satan” gets the blame as a serpent only after the serpent of mortality beguiled Adam and Eve (reference the image above) because he also represents evil desires as he was the first of the Elohim’s creations to choose wickedness. Thus, “satan” the evil spirit was not the “serpent” that beguiled Adam and Eve intonleaving the garden. They chose to depart of themselves, but “satan” gets the blame in the story because he represents temptation.
Adam and Eve chose to depart the garden to initiate the human family. They became mortal when they departed the garden.
“satan” is not a serpent but is the spirit of a wicked human creation of the Elohim that chose not to follow the path of the Elohim and thus shall never receive a mortal body – and thus can never be other than a figurative “serpent.” “satan” is an evil spirit only referred to as a serpent. Why not a rat or a pig, or another animal that lives close to the dirt? Because it was the symbolic mouth of the serpent – meaning the lure of mortality and mortal reproduction, meaning the initiation of the human family – that seemingly beguiled Adam and Eve. “satan” thus inherited the label of “serpent” from the lure of mortality, rather than the traditional understanding. Adam and Eve knew all about the plan of mortality long before they decided to step out of the garden and thus it was not “satan” the evil spirit that beguiled them but it was the “serpent” of mortal reproduction (the connection between the serpent’s mouth and mortal reproduction is obvious). “satan” thus inherited the so-called deception label of the serpent/snake because he represents all temptation – after Adam amd Eve chose to follow the serpent of mortal reproduction. But the “serpent” of mortality is what beguiled Adam and Eve in the first place – but as a side note, in reality they were not beguiled but chose the path of mortality and human reproduction of their own volition.
The “serpent” is a reference to the mouth of the serpent and its obvious visual connection to human reproduction which leads to mortal existence, which required Adam and Eve to depart the garden. The “tree of knowledge of good and evil” is therefore a parabolic reference to mortal existence and we are partaking of its fruit at this moment while living mortal life. As just and protective parent creators, the Most High Elohim commanded Adam and Eve to never venture out of the Garden, meaning to never venture into mortal existence – because doing so would remove them from the protection of the Garden and of their parents. This is no different than a parent telling a young child to “never go far from the house” because doing so would remove the child from the protection of the parent. Thus, the Elohim could never order Adam and Eve, their most precious new creations, to depart their protective presence. But as all school children do, they became literally bored of the Garden and all its perfection – because they knew no sadness or trial – and like any school child, they desired life on their own, which in this case was only possible through mortal existence, represented by the tree of knowing good and evil (such was impossible in the Garden because evil did not exist, having been exiled by the righteousness, dignity, and honor of the Elohim. And Eve, for her existence as a woman, desired children more than anything (as all women do) so she had grown weary of her childless state in the Garden. Arguably, sex had occurred between the two since their legitimate marriage in the Garden by the Elohim – but they were prevented from reproducing children as immortals because they had no experience to do so, immortal or mortal, and the only way to gain experience was to “eat the fruit of the tree . Thus, for Eve, the lure of becoming mortal and bearing mortal children had overcome all other objectives and she, arguably more than Adam, sought to enter mortal existence. The mouth of the serpent visually represents the portal of human reproduction, which implies the requirement of mortal existence and THUS there was no serpent involved. The parable involves six levels of symbology as follows, describing 1) “satan” as the 2) serpent tempting Eve with the fruit of knowing good and evil is a reference to the 3) mouth of the serpent which represents the 4) female reproductive organ which leads to 5) human reproduction which requires 6) mortal existence. “Satan” becomes involved because he represents all mortal temptation, but as discussed above, since Adam and Eve were raised by the Elohim and had discussed the plan of human creation extensively, they knew the requirement of their mortal existence and made their decision on their own without sin-related mortal tempation, which technically did not exist in the perfect Garden paradise, any way.
Notice the six levels of symbolism leading from “satan” to mortal life and its associated mortal temptation, and the seventh level becomes eternal life, as follows.
1. “Satan” – represents the mortal condition and associated mortal temptation, whether
2. “serpent” –
3. Mouth of the serpent – represents human female reproductive anatomy
4. Human female reproductive anatomy – path to human reproduction
5. Human reproduction – the program of Creation of the Most High Elohim
6. Mortal life – where all human beings gain wisdom for themselves
7. Eternal life – the life of the Most High Elohim
Tree Symbology
– Tree of knowledge of good and evil: represents mortal life
– Fruit of the tree of knowledge: wisdom gained from mortal existence
– Partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge: Entering mortality, Adam and Eve transforming from immortality to mortality and leaving the Garden
– Tree of life: tree of eternal life at all levels
– Fruit of the tree of eternal life: human life as the Elohim
There are two trees in the parable of Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden, the first was the “tree of knowledge of good and evil” and the second was the “tree of eternal life,” and both have their fruit. Per the discussion above, the fruit of the tree of knowing good and evil, therefore, is mortal life. The fruit of tree of eternal life, which is also, as a side note, the proverbial “tree of life,” is eternal life. So Adam and Eve had to first partake of the tree of knowing good and evil – mortal life – with the intended result of eventually partaking the fruit of the tree of eternal life, which is eternal life and life as the Most High Elohim, which is the end result of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all the Most High Elohim before him, which is to create more mortal children and instruct them in the ways of the Gospel of eternal mortal reproduction.
This narrative does not replace the text of Genesis chapter 3 but serves as an explanatory guide. He that will hear let him hear. “satan” has no flesh therefore is no serpent and only figuratively referred to as such.
For the record, “satan” has no flesh and thus shall never reproduce or bring forth flesh offspring.
