The central myth of Western religion is the fall of man from the Garden of Eden. It is either called the fall of man or the fall of mankind because the purpose of the myth is to blame women for losing a prior state of bliss. Eve gave the apple to Adam. In the pagan version Pandora opened the Box. In both of these stories the sexuality of women is to blame. You can read many articles about spirituality all of which tell you to control or repress your sexual nature and only by doing so will you be ok. The central myth is one of fear and loathing of being sexual, of being a woman, of being yourself.
Well first of all this is a great lie. There never was a garden of eden only a forest savage from which humanity evolved. In exact opposite to this myth humanity didn’t fall because of women, humanity became human because of women.
First 190,000 years ago human beings appeared when women separated from Homo, erectus ancestors by changing human sexuality. They did this through the appearance of menses and menopause, two features that no other animal has. This did two things, first it separated sexuality from procreation so that love would appear in the world. Second it gave women a chronic iron deficiency anemia that needed lots of meat in order to treat it. The only problem is that humans were prey of other animals not predators.
Heroic men said no problem, we can now have sex and love all the time hooray, we will go out and risk our lives for that. And they did. Hunting mastodons with sticks and flints was heroic and they did it in the service of women and yes they did get great sex all the time in return. This lasted from 190,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago when women invented agriculture.
The creation of agriculture came about because 12,900 years ago a comet struck the earth causing almost all the megafauna to go extinct. Humans almost went extinct too. For 180,000 years women had been nurturing men and their families with love. To solve this problem of the loss of megafauna women extended love to plants creating agriculture and then to animals creating animal husbandry. The original means of production the source of all human wealth was women, inspired by the Divine Feminine. The original means of production was connected to LOVE.
What went wrong? After three thousand years men invented patriarchy, misogyny, war, slavery, and inequality. Why? The answer is no one wants to be irrelevant, no one wants their true nature to go fallow. Men’s true nature is to be heroic. If they could not be heroic in the service of women i.e. hunting big game, they would be heroic in the service of patriarchy and greed.
Patriarchy and war and slavery is the fall of man. Separating from being heroic to women is the fall of man.
This must be understood in order to save us from extinction. We must restore heroism to its true nature, in service to the Divine Feminine and her manifestation on this earth, WOMEN. When men can do this men will have returned from their tragic fall. When we restore LOVE to the means of production and reconnect men and women then we will be in the true state of humanity.
love and light,

Thanks for telling it straight, Stuart. From the time I was a little child I hated that apple story and knew it was a crock. Now, can you please make this into a novel? It will sell more copies and influence more lives for the better if people think it's fiction. And then, perhaps a movie, for all those folks who don't like to read.
Absolutely, positively LOVE this post.
