STATES OF EXISTENCE

Considering the Hebrew word “Adamah” from which “Adam” was made; it could be either fertile red clay, ostensibly “fertilized” by God, or strictly the quantum material field from which structured life emerged (CoPilot^® AI). The “fertilization” would be the base material, or substrate state activated by the Breath of God (ibid)… or could it be both since Adam would have been two states in one: material man covering a living soul,

We know that the Breath of God is the Elohim that created the living soul of God’s creature: “God created man (adam) in His own image (tselem), in the image of God (Elohim) created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen 1:27); thus the “living soul” of the two creatures came into existence alone with God along with the other liminal creatures (Gen 1:26).

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen 2:7).

It seems that God was finished with the living souls of the two when, “The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them” (Gen 2:1).

From the last commentary, it was deduced that “host” is spacetime and matter that God breathed unto existence. God would have been finished with the Garden of Eden as a threshold existence populated with both spiritual and material things because heaven/earth was in symbiosis acting as one entity.

The Garden would indicate that the living souls were the “seed” of God placed in the material existence to grow. Of course, they would not be plants, but living entities prepared for a threshold existence.

A “threshold” existence means life emerging, likely from one realm to another.

Adam’s kind (the two) would have emerged from heaven into heaven/earth and after sin re-emerging onto the ground of planet Earth. They would not have been sent anywhere but suddenly existed in another state with heaven no longer realized in their conscious minds. Of course, they could remember it but not be participants in that now invisible realm (to them) because their states had changed.

Before they could observe the Garden, but after sin, they would work the Garden. Their “economy” had changed from God-driven to man-driven. Their consciousness had been altered; no longer able to see within the spiritual world.

God as Jesus would be to them the invisible “Word” of which John wrote. They could still hear God’s effects on the world since “they heard the Voice of the Lord God walking in the Garden (Gen 3:8). They knew that the Lord God was still in the form of a man like themselves, but His “Voice” would have been Him approaching and the sound emitted by His walking.

“Voice” is קוֹל qowl in the Hebrew: qof – vav – lamed, which symbolize a literal ancient idea of "securing or connecting to a guiding authority." This visual narrative translates to being linked or bound (vav) to a leader or direction (lamed) at the end of a cycle or horizon (qof), according to AI Overview.

The two remained connected to God after sinning, but they could no longer see (ayin) His form as a Divine Man. God was still both man and divine, but they could only perceive the spiritual aspect of Him by His effects on the world, in accord with Romans 1:20: “The invisible things of Him from the Creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead” (Rom 1:20). The two would have seen His Power but not the entirety of the “Godhead” — all three states of God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. They could not longer see the Son as a man walking, but could still detect the Holy Ghost because of the effects on the things of the world.

With that explained, mankind is always immortal, but in different states of existence.

Everyone from the womb comes short of the Glory of God (Rom 3:23). We are all conceived with God in our flesh (that explains why when children die, they go to heaven), but the moment we become aware of right and wrong, we die. “Death” is not a mortal thing, but when infants become conscious of their flesh and pursue it rather than the righteousness. To be born again (John 3:7) we must first die. Hence, “death” would be conscious of the wicked things of the world and pursuant of them.

Once children become conscious of sin and choose sin, then spiritually they would be dead, losing the statehood of God and obtaining the statehood of the Wicked One (John 8:44).

When Jesus said, “Suffer (allow) little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Mat 19:14).  Little children were at one time quite innocent; their sins existed, but they would not have been conscious of them as sins. Jesus was asking that they be kept little children with that unassuming nature to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus was asking that adults bring children to Him for them to be conscious of Him before they became conscious of the concept of evil.

“Sin-consciousness” brings forth another state of existence, no longer safe in Christ but vulnerable to the things of the world. Death is therefore sin-consciousness and awareness of the flesh when children become sapient of the effects of the world on their once pure flesh. Yes, they had always sinned: with anger, selfishness, and even envy; but because of their innocent consciences, sin was not accounted to them. They must know what they are doing.

The first state of life is a living soul within flesh, but with the first conscious sin, then the living soul would in a sense; die. A child of God would become a son of the Devil (John 8:44). With the loss of the living soul, the sinful state would be death and indeed that state would be like gorillas, each doing whatever they want to do. However, just like gorillas, for their own safety from the jungle from which they came, they are encaged for their own well-being.

That is the state that sinful Adam and Eve found themselves; God, “drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life” (Gen 3:24).

If the “Tree of Life” is having the genetics of God, then Adam and Eve would have found themselves safe from the Wicked One (unlike Cain), but their state became more of a prison than a sanctuary. If so, then they would have been set-apart (sanctified) until they were saved at death nine centuries later.

That is the “truth” — Adam and Eve were in the sanctuary of God even though they could not see the good “warden” all the while there the pretend “warden” providing all sorts of pleasures to appease their flesh.

Were they in a prison or a sanctuary? That depends on their God-consciousness and at times, from sacred literature, their sanctuary became for them a prison and Satan their evil warden. Satan always tormented them but most often, they blamed God! Sound familiar?

Never realizing that they were imprisoned, even under Abraham (John 8:33), Jesus told the Jews, “If you continue in My Word, then are you My disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-2).

They failed to be aware they were in a virtual prison with strong rules (613 commandments). In Abraham, they were still in a prison with Moses their strict “warden” and yet they thought they were free agents to do as they pleased.

The truth is when the mind sees reality rather than some façade. They need only to understand that even with Moses and Abraham, they were still imprisoned but were not even conscious of it!

To be truly free, they must be conscious that they were not living in a sanctuary where Abraham was king, but in the world where the Devil is the “prince,” or ruler (Ephes 2:2).

When they become conscious of their true state of existence, then they might very well see freedom in Jesus — the Good Warden. Along with that; that the Law was not for   imprisonment, but for their safety in the sanctuary of God.

With that said, anyone can determine in what state of existence they live by their actions and awareness or lack of the consciousness of God.

The Laws remain the Will of God, but for Him they are not for penalty but safety. They are not things you cannot do, but things that allay your fear of God and death. Laws make God seem authoritative, but if the conscious is clear, laws are privileges that we are free from doing. The person reborn in a Godly state would not fear God but adhere to Him in state of dependence. God would not be the vindictive warden but a loving caregiver.

We all exist in two states but only those who trust God would be privy to all His Kingdom. The Earth itself is a prison for whom most have the Stockholm Syndrome — in love with their captor and even excited to do his will.

In what state do you live?

Examine yourselves, do you prefer the things of the world or the things of God? Do you enjoy the world more than look forward to eternity in Paradise. Those who take the temporal over the eternal live in a temporary state of existence and are irrational because only crazy people would take five minutes of fun over eternal bliss!
