The Beginning and the Past: 2.2-2.3 Fall of Mankind and Mind’s Eye


The Beginning and the Past: 2.2-2.3 Fall of Mankind and Mind’s Eye

Long time, no post!



Eve, the woman, was deceived by the serpent. She ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. She even got some for her husband, Adam, and he too ate the fruit.
As soon as they ate they ate the forbidden fruit, they realized that they were naked and so they sewed fig leaves together to clothe themselves.

God was walking in the Garden of Eden and so they hid themselves among the bushes and trees. God asked Adam where he is and he replied saying “I was ashamed and I hid among the trees, for I am naked.” “Who told you this? Did you eat from the forbidden tree?” God said with a thundering voice. “Eve gave me some and so I ate it.” “And Eve?” God asked as He turned to Eve. “The serpent deceived me and so I ate the fruit.”God punished the serpent and as well as Adam and Eve for their disobedience.




So that’s why mothers nowadays bear the pain when giving birth to a child; and so that’s why your father and my father are working hard to make a living.


To think of it, the serpent’s punishment was to crawl with its belly. Is it possible that the serpent was walking? Research says, that yes, it is possible that the serpent or snake was walking. I researched about in answersingenesis.com and they said that it was possible that the snake changed its form after being cursed.
I can’t imagine how the snake looks like while walking. Does it have arms and legs? Is it similar to a walking lizard? I do not know for sure, but isn’t it amazing how our mind works with imagination? What is imagination anyway? How does it work? Does everyone have this ability? Can you use the five senses in this?


Imagining is the ability of forming mental images, sensations, and concepts; in a moment when they are not perceived through sight, hearing on other senses

Imagination is said to be the “mind’s eye” that forms mental images. Imaginations, in my words, are the thoughts you are thinking that are visualized in your mind. You created this picture on how this person may look like, your dream place, events that you are creating and so on. I am sure that everyone has the ability of imagination, but not everyone uses it. Some people don’t know how to use, train, work, and master this ability. Young children from ages 3-18 uses imagination greatly and regularly which is why children are very creative. I also believe that you can use the five senses in the process of imagining
