Cadcam Posted 4 hours ago The fall of Adam and Eve came when they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Prior to that, it would seem they were just living and doing in an almost deterministic sort of way. Contemplating and cataloging what is good and evil seems to be the origin of the birth of consciousness and choice, decision making, and law. So, did the elders that wrote this story believe ignorance is bliss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better perhaps to consider the processes that produce and remove Existence/Creation and the purposes for such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pralaya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzimtzum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanity Check Posted 1 hour ago Evolution has been around for billions of years. While human ignorance has enjoyed a very short lifespan by contrast. Its possible evolution will outlast human ignorance. And that people will eventually evolve out of that state of existence. Although progress could be dragging us kicking and screaming the entire way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
