The Forbidden Fruits - What Are They

The answer to the forbidden fruits lies within esoteric interpretation of Genesis 2:16-17 "the tree of the knowledge of the fruits of good and evil" and, business "the tree of life". The symbolism behind the word "tree" is that every tree has a root system which receives nourishment, which then serves the overall tree. Thus esoterically "the tree of the knowledge of the fruits of good and evil" and "the tree of life" is that both trees' roots can potentially serve the consciousness, one either of soul-serving nature and the other non-soul serving. In other words, the fruits of one will bind, cling to our consciousness, while the other, the tree of life, will free or purify the consciousness rendering our actions non-binding. Therefore, it's the nature-quality of the particular root - the mind / nervous system - which determines the spiritual quality of the fruit encountered and experienced within the mind / physiology. Thus the tree-root saturated in meditative silence-stillness is automatically infused of divine nature, Bliss or pure peace. Conversely, the root or mind not meditatively engaged - in some soul-connecting inner dynamic -- is solely surviving on the fruits which cling, bind, therefore not in harmony with divine consciousness.

What specifically are the forbidden fruits?

The forbidden fruits are every sensory / mental action performed or experienced through spiritual ignorance -- while still emotionally attached to the objective phenomenal world as our true reality. By this illusory reality -- the opposite of our true reality -- we come under the dominance of the laws of nature also known as the law of cause and effect "as ye sow, so shall ye reap". Here the conscious mind and five senses remain identified solely with automatically recurring sub-conscious programming. The fruits are forbidden because they bind the mind and body to activity, to mind-sets not in harmony with divine law, thereby making the mind a virtual prisoner to automatic or unconscious behaviour. And is why Jesus said "bring (in meditation) the five loaves (five senses) and two fish (two spiritual glands in the brain) to him (purification silence)".

Through attachment and identification with this inherited sub-conscious conditioning, the mind fails to appreciate and reflect its own divine nature - bliss-consciousness. Such is how, by perpetual overshadowing of the inner "tree of life", spiritual ignorance continues unabated leaving sub-conscious activity to repeat automatically. Due to this born-into non-spiritually awakened level of consciousness, the forbidden fruits are carried on through what's called the lower-self or lower-ego.

From the effects perspective, the forbidden fruits are subliminal thought waves produced from a level of consciousness that is not spiritually developed, not cosmically or universally attuned. Whereas thought-experiencing through the tree of life reflects the awakened soul, a soul rooted and vibrating in cosmic consciousness.

Maturing through life experiences, it becomes obvious that right action cannot be determined through this erring, lower-ego, conditioned mind. That there must be another element of our existence not yet being inner experienced.

So, the question arises: how is the difference between right and wrong activity discerned, what is the criteria of right action? (action in accordance with divine nature).

From the soul's perspective, right action is determined transcendentally. Through daily meditation, purification of lower-ego takes place which enables the mind automatically be in harmony with right action, with the cosmic laws of natural evolution, the will of God, and not shackled to the binding influence of the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, to perpetual sin-nature. Through Higher Self connectivity, compassion and unconditional love -- in how we're hearing and seeing others' spiritual ignorance - are experienced more deeply in our daily encounters,

Only One Tree

In reality there is only one tree, for the root of the tree of the fruits of good and evil becomes transformed into the tree of life. Thus the tree of life was always present as Potential consciousness, with its realization the goal-purpose of individual life. Transforming the root of the "good and evil" leads to direct knowing of the tree of eternal life.
