To make Him alive, He had to put a part of Himself in the man. Amazingly, He lost nothing, even though He gave His life. The stage He had set was a multi-dimensional arena. For the man to really live here and take dominion, He would have to make the man with the nature to interact with the physical reality of the realm, while participating equally with the spiritual atmosphere of the place.
He made a body from the land itself, and filled the center of the man with His own Nature. Somewhere between the two, the man became his own person, but with a connection to the Spiritual arena. He had a body to interact with the planet, and a spirit to interact with…The Spirit.
The man needed breath, he was connected. The man needed life, he was connected. The man needed perspective, health, understanding, power…he was connected. He could easily present again (re-present) on Earth that which was constantly being presented to him from the Spiritual realm. He was connected.
All over this garden there was vegetation which was consistent with the duality of this realm. Physical trees with things growing on the branches like knowledge, and life. The man and the woman could pluck fruit from these trees and eat freely. The life which was everywhere was available to them…in fact it was at arm’s reach. They merely had to reach out and pluck it from the tree, and eat.
There was this one tree though. They could eat from any of the others, but they had been sternly warned. Do not…Do NOT…eat from the fruit of this tree. On the end of it’s branches were a specific kind of fruit. Where one tree connected them to a constant stream of life, this tree would connect them to something else.
Connected to God, they had new thoughts, new life, new power every moment. If they were to take from this tree, they would only have their own thoughts, their own life and their own power to draw from. The source of life would be cut off. They would die.
If this were to happen the only way to rescue them would be to give life to them again.
