Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Eve seductively tempted Adam, first man, In the beautiful Garden of Eden so fair. Lured on by a serpent he almost ran, To eat a ripe red apple from the tree, Called CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE, growing there; Outlawed from Eden, he was no longer free.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Dear Anna, I only wrote this verse to show that the Tree of Knowledge was actually the Tree of Conceptual Knowledge. Many people who read the legend can't understand why Adam fell from grace for eating from the Tree of Knowledge- when everybody puts so much value on acquiring so called Knowledge to get through life.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Of course, Alan... One has to acquire knowledge to know that we remember what we'd forgotten when we ate the poisoned apple. Ok, so I mixed up a few metaphors/stories. lol.
