127. Interface Part 2

God knows all man's thoughts because of the Word commanding, 'Let there be ...'. 'Let there be ...' is the Word that has already been fulfilled and keeps interaction with the individual life. That is by the work of the Holy Spirit (cf. Matthew 1:20). The Holy Spirit, whom the Father sends in the name of Jesus (cf. John 14:26), is God, who has both the will of God and the knowledge of God, and God is omnipotent, infinite, the only good, and behaves just as He is. 

Therefore, He is free to set any limits on Himself. So, God grants man the 'breath of life' out of His spontaneity but remains ignorant of how the spontaneity of the 'breath of life' is exercised because of its freedom. God gives man each 'tree of life,' which is proper knowledge to manifest God's likeness together with each 'breath of life.' 

God's likeness, manifested by the 'breath of life' and the 'tree of life', is the source of the authority with which people have dominion over every living thing (cf. Genesis 1:28). God places the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil' in the centre of his consciousness as an interface to connect this authority with his 'knowledge and memory appropriate to man,' which is capable of subduing the earth.¹

 1. cf. Genesis 1:28, 2:15, 3:23 

The two people in Genesis were the first two, even for God. So, God actually made two trees grow in the middle of the garden because if they take the fruit of the 'tree of life' and eat it, that would be a sign that the spontaneity of the 'breath of life' has been exerted in them and connected to the 'tree of life.' But finally, the two never ate the fruit of the 'tree of life.' That is because God's words of prohibition (cf. Genesis 2:16-17) had been blurred (cf. Genesis 2:9, 3:3). Accidental information had developed between the first two people. 

Since all creatures have knowledge and memory appropriate to their species and spontaneity to respond to God's command, 'Let there be …,' the unconscious thinking mechanism that judges things is at work, and they can live following what God wants. So, it is natural that when several of the same species gather, information is exchanged, and accidental information develops among them. Of all the accidental information that emerges among species of living beings, the most advanced one is that of humans, who are able to subdue the earth. 

Furthermore, when a person incorporates accidental information into his knowledge and memory, a trial-and-error process occurs in his unconscious thinking mechanism (cf. Genesis 3:1-5). Then, the judgements that appear in his consciousness after a delay develop episodic memories unique to humans (cf. Genesis 3:6). That is a sign that the 'knowledge and memory appropriate to man' is temporarily connected to the 'breath of life,' skipping the 'tree of life,' via the 'tree of the knowledge of good and evil.' The process above led the two in Genesis into actually taking and eating the fruit forbidden by God, which was an act that could never have happened by spontaneity that responds to God's command, 'Let there be ...,' alone.
