The mystery of flying far away
A jewish friend* of mine had once reminded me that the teaching is ought to be properly studied with a mentor, whereas I have been studying alone. I’ve since refrained from The Law and have come to a series of conclusions at which I wouldn’t have arrived if not for the distance taken from a certain dogma. Unconsciously developed into a bias through a series of assumptions, it serves as the basis not only for the collection of scriptures collectively known as the Bible, but also to several other programs and ways of thought, ultimately shaping one’s understanding of the structure of the world.
So, the distance was useful in the end.
Let’s say the flight first lands in Heaven. The black shades somehow invert the scene, not in the sense of colour but by transforming the assumptions held of the appearing characters and concepts. Assume that Knowledge isn’t evil, and neither is the Apple, nor the Tree. The Snake is just an agent of the true good God (who isn’t Satan). The garden god is not all-knowing: oblivious to the crunch, he only knew of the misprision after the man spoke up.
This scheme of things is not a mindless subversion. The scene itself was written as a part of the divine game in which the author(s) of the Genesis were aware of the possible renditions, as well of the nature of the Logos. They also had a glimpse of the real world; but any god that you create is inherently inferior in its nature. I am now wondering if the true scholars of the Law are aware of this — otherwise it’s consciously falling into a box for which the blueprint is fully known — there, another contradiction.
Meanwhile, the tax-dodging ‘son of God’s non-ecclesiastic message has been lost in time and, worse, diluted across the world in which the amount of love and goodness amid the darkness is proportionately reflected in the star-pierced night sky. The wars keep proving time again that the only neighbour you can love is from your circles which, while vary in scale, inevitably end at the line of the border with another tribe having different values. The ministry was only a squared dozen; the distant millions abroad prefer artillery weapons. The Tanakh’s authors knew this well and felt that it was worth it to contradict the Dekalogos through the eye-for-an eye principle (see also: “if someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill them first”). The only cross I see is in my gunsight.
