ON TRANSHUMANISM - Part 16

 

THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

 The command to Adam and Eve was to eat of any tree in the Garden… “But…” As such all the trees, excepting one, were glorious trees and for the good of the new creatures. Any of those fruits would not deteriorate their gloriousness in any manner. All their biology, spirituality, wisdom, and genomes would remain the same. If they ate from any of the trees, save one, they would maintain their gen and genders. If they ate of that one tree, they would die (Gen 2:17).

So, something was in that one tree that would change something about them. God had taken great precautions in the verses preceding that to specify their exact image. Foremost was that they were the very images of God and that they were much different than the others in their domain: “Let us make man in our image (God’s), after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Gen 1:26).

As God is glorious, original man and woman were as well. Man was not woman and woman was not man, but both in the image of God for multiplication. Their duties were to multiply and provide the Genome of God to their germline (Gen 1:28). In that same verse, God even said to be “fruitful”!

Adam and Eve were to bear fruit… more men and women like themselves and like God.

Implied therein that the fruit they were to bear were glorious little beings, also in the images of God.

 The “Godhead” consists of the three images of God of which each image are different substances each one the same Existence but each one independent of the other in homeostasis — “stable equilibrium between interdependent elements” (Merriam-Webster, Inc. 1982). The “elements” of the Godhead are unlike silver of gold, or graven images carved by men (Acts 17:29) but three “substances” in one, one of which is the bodily form of the Godhead, or Jesus.

With that said, Adam was glorious like Jesus in figure, like God in Mind, and like God in Spirit. Since only God is good, since original sin, then Adam and Eve were already as gods! The “Serpent” was merely confusing them about their identity. Before eating, the deceptive Serpent confused them. This was the first case of gen and gender confusion!  They did change, but it was not for the better, and the change was because the other “image” (nahas; “Serpent”) confused them.

It seems that because Cain was of the Wicked One that Eve may have had carnal knowledge with that alien being, and because homosexuality is an abomination to God, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Lev 18;22); Adam may have done that, only worse! He may have lain with the “Beast” (Rev 11:37). Soon after, in the days of Moses, that was also forbidden: 

²³ But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

⁴¹ And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

⁴² Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. (Lev 11:23, 41, 42)

 Other than some insects, perhaps butterflies, there are no creatures that fly that have four feet. Implied, I believe (verse 23), is that mankind should not use the flesh of any four-footed flying creature for any reason. With that said, Seraphim (singular “seraph”) means “burning one.” Seraphim fly with two wings but have four that are not used for flying but for covering their four feet!

Above it (God’s Throne) stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly (Isa 6:2).

 The thing so disgusting to God was carnality of any sort with heavenly creatures, specifically a “seraph”! Isaiah also identified the principle (noble) Seraph — nahas — as the “Serpent” or śārāp̄ (seraph) (Strong 1890).

God had commanded that mankind stay away from alien creatures, specifically heavenly creatures. There was a reason that was forbidden and perhaps one of them was that Adam was carnal with the alien "image” of the Beast — the “Serpent,” Lucifer. Again, forget the notion that the “Serpent” was a viper but was as cunning as one.

As the Godhead has three substances in homeostasis, as an angelic being, so would Lucifer. Lucifer would be his outward “spiritual” appearance (radiant light, his persona as the “Bringer of Light”), his inner being the Serpent-like “Shadow,” and his mind the knowledge of good and evil for use in deception.

Just as the “Good Word” is the “Tree of Life” and the Image of God, His Genome; then the “Deceptive Word” would be the “Tree of Death” and the stasis of the Beast, its genome.

If my estimation is true, then Adam had carnal knowledge with an angel of the male gender, thus disgusting God in two matters!

There is one obstacle to that premise: “For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven” (mark 12:25). It seems that angels do not couple and copulate sexually, but it is clarified with “which are in heaven.” That supports the premise that man and woman were not to have carnal knowledge with each other but reproduction in the manner that God made them. So, on Earth, outside Paradise, mankind “married” in the manner of angels when out of their domain. It is learned from the days of Noah that indeed angels (“sons of God”) can multiply carnally.

With that explained, then as Jesus and His seed makeup the “Tree of Life,” then Lucifer and his (its) seed makes up the “Tree of Death.” The Tree of Life would be a genealogical tree beginning with Yahweh and with Adam on down to the “Last Adam,” Jesus, who budded a new Tree of Life with all its branches restored.

The Tree of Life was preserved by Eve as the “mother of all living.” She is perhaps the “first” Adam in the sense that her kind, or species, was an “Adam,” and all others descend from her, and not the male Adam. The first “limb” cut from the Tree of Life was Adam himself! Replacing him was Lucifer, and like it or not, since everyone is born in iniquity, that is our family tree!

The “Word” gave the generations and degenerations of mankind. “In the beginning God created (literally “cut wood”) the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). God made the images, figuratively, by cutting wood as if from a tree!

With each degeneration over the generations, God cut wood again and again! He pruned the Tree of Life of its withered branches; then with Noah, God replanted mankind in the ground again and Noah would be the second “Adam” genealogically. The new “Tree of Life” had three branches, and Shem’s would be the main branch of the Tree of Life. (The Table of Nations in Genesis chapter ten is a multitude of branches of the Tree of Life.)

You get the point, I hope; that the Bible is about the Tree of Life from beginning to ending — from Genesis to Revelation!

However, there are two trees in the beginning and the “Word” is also about the forbidden tree. Since, the Bible is the substance (papyrus in those days), then there must be an “anti-bible” written on other media. The media in the Garden was surely upon wood with the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” The Word and Anti-word were both written on wood, but of two gens (families).

In this day of high-technology, the Word prevails on synthetic memory as well as written, and the days of a Bible on paper may be limited. In other words, no longer will the Bible be a “Bible” but just a memory written on synthetic “random-access memory” (RAM). That may allow the Word to be altered at the whim of whatever technicians decide! In other words, they become the “Tekton” (Greek) rather than Jesus! Therefore, the “Tree of Life” might end-up alterable with easy cutting and pasting ones and zeros.

The same goes for the “Anti-word.” The Bible is a book of both good and evil. It is the true faith because its patriarchs are true to form, but imbued with both good and evil.

In a previous chapter I wrote that Wikipedia is now encoded on synthetic DNA. In the developers own words, directly from a screen-save of their own page:

 

Synthetic DNA, or “synthetic genomics is a nascent field of synthetic biology that uses aspects of genetic modification on pre-existing life forms, or artificial gene synthesis to create new DNA or entire lifeforms.” (Wikipedia 2001).

For any who have used Wikipedia, those blue-highlighted words or phrases are called “hyperlinks” whose prefix “hyper” means “above” and “beyond” in reference to the present location. Essentially, Wikipedia is a “tree” with “branches” linked together. It is an imitation of the contents of the Bible which is a book of truth inspired from God.

However, whereas the Bible is a book of good and evil and full of truth, Wikipedia is a book of good and evil, full of both truth and falsehoods. Because it can be edited by user-editors, it is easily falsified. It is not full of truth but due to human pride with hyperbole; it is full of deception and the user must beware!

“Wiki” just means “contributory information,” thus it has the bias, cunning, and knowledge of about all things in the world. It is a comprehensive invisible global empire distributed in over 300 languages. It is as much as an erection of another “Tower of Babel” which truth-seekers should beware of climbing. Even its founder questions its usefulness: 

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has warned that the website can no longer be trusted — insisting it is now just “propaganda” for the left-leaning “establishment.”

Sanger told UnHerd’s Lockdown TV Wednesday that he started the “encyclopedia of opinion” in 2001 purely on the basis it would offer true neutrality and offer “multiple points of view” on “hot button issues.”

Now, he insisted, conservative voices are “sternly warned if not kicked out” if they try to add a different take on establishment views — which Sanger deemed “propaganda.”

“You can’t cite Fox News on socio-political issues. It’s just banned now,” he insisted of the apparent clampdown on respected conservative voices.

“It means that if a controversy does not appear in the mainstream centre-left media, then it’s not going to appear on Wikipedia,” he said.

Now you can only rely on the site to “to give an establishment point of view,” rather than the diverse range of opinions it was set up to give, he insisted.

“If only one version of the facts is allowed then that gives a huge incentive to wealthy and powerful people to seize control of things like Wikipedia in order to shore up their power,” he said. (Brown 2021)

 Wikipedia was started as “opinion” as Sanger said. Now he says that it is “propaganda” with one point of view — the establishment’s version of the truth. It is contributed misinformation from those whose motives are to mislead. In other words, figuratively speaking, it is the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil” and its hyperlinks are the global family tree.

Just as the Tree of Life still prospers in another heavenly domain, the “Tree of Misinformation” prospers in this worldly realm. That conclusion is not a stretch to make, but I believe it to be a revelation from the “Mystery of God.” Even Jesus spoke in mysterious ways for the amplification of His Word, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables” (Mark 4:11).

The conclusion to which I have come is that Wikipedia, or maybe the media in general, is the figurative forbidden tree that can cause confusion in all things. That it is now available in the global language — English — in synthetic DNA reinforces the notion that Wikipedia is a genetic tree now available both on RAM for ease in editing and in genetics for the same reason, but for editing the genome of some future world leader. Think on that… an atheist world leader with all the knowledge of God, both good and evil, to distort however he may! Just think of us “beasts” who will swallow whatever that man says, just as Adam and Eve did; to “believe the science” as the world says!

Right now, Wikipedia, as well as all the other media, have become mouthpieces for evil-doers. What we have seen with our own eyes and experienced with our own flesh are called “misinformation”! How gullible can people be? Gullible enough to vote for a mindless senator and for a vindictive and incompetent president who calls evil, “good,” and good, “evil.”

My hope is that, as I have, the reader will see that Wikipedia is a dangerous tool in the hands of hateful people! Just as Winston Smith in the book, 1984, mere opinion-makers can change fiction to truth, truth to fiction, and even change history; making even good-doers, doers of evil, and tear down statures to subvert history!

Not just in word alone does Wiki inform and misinform but in many other venues: Wikimedia Commons, MediaWiki, Meta-Wiki, Multilingual Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikidata, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikivoyage, and Wiktionary. Of special interest is Wikispecies wherein “they” inform what is the taxonomy rather than God. Do not be surprised when you see a list of genders that well exceeds the two in truth!

The reader should beware the “Tree of Confusion” with its vain philosophies of the world. That “tree” is now planted on firm ground and ready to be engendered into some very important man-beast.

Whereas Wiki are electronic changeable, “books of opinions,” the Bible is a “Book of Truth” that is immutable.
