And the real joke of it all is that the myth is WRONG. There has never been a moment when anyone in human history has ever "lost" their unity and "fallen" from "grace." They all -- each and every one of them -- have always already been enlightened. The entire issue of "separation" from nature is a non-issue, an illusion based on ignorance of what has always already been present. So the myth of "the fall" was developed to describe the ignorance and the illusion, *not* to describe any kind of reality. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
