The Becoming: Self-awareness in Context of Bigger Things

Satan, disguised as a wily Serpent, had beguiled Eve that mankind could be a god. As an equal to God. Even the Serpent wanted to achieve that endeavor. So he suggested the Tree of Knowledge. If she only had the same Knowledge as God, how wonderful that would be and how great she would become. IF she only knew. If SHE only knew. If she only KNEW. If she only knew.

Adam's Rib, of the same flesh and blood, picked the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve ate of that fruit and their eyes were opened to new, additional knowledge and discernment. Of Good and Evil. That they could Be. That they could Become. They may have been made perfect but they were not made immutable. Their eyes were opened to things unseen as yet.

And they became ashamed in this new knowledge. They knew their disobedience. Right and wrong. Good and bad. Righteous and unrighteous. Good and Evil. . They sought protection. They sought a covering. In the chiascuro events, of Light and Darkness, they hid from the Light.

But we see through the glass darkly about the Good and the Evil of this Human Endeavor. The Chiascuro event.
