146. The Envy

I hope I have conveyed my thoughts on unclean spirits and devils through the discussions since this blog №139. I consider the dragon or the serpent, called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of humankind, together with their angels and others of this kind, whatever they may be called in the world, to be information. And the basis of all information is still "human accidental information" even in the 21st century. On the other hand, demons or unclean spirits are, in whatever form, human beings. They keep with them the breath that God himself breathed into them, waiting for the time of salvation. With this perspective, we will continue to examine what causes evil spirits to be born. 

The spontaneity of the creature is free because the spontaneity of God, "I AM," is its source. God brought to the man all kinds of beasts and birds whose brains were formed out of the ground to see what the man would call each one of them. The man's brain was formed out of the dust of the ground, so he called these creatures with a sense of kinship (cf. blog №144). And it is written, "whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name" (Genesis 2:19). That is a sign that the knowledge and memory proportionate to humanity, as well as his sensory functions that take in information and his functions of the body, were connected under the spontaneity of responding to God's command "Be!" 

That is also the sign that the man had heard and remembered the two things God had commanded earlier: first, to eat of every tree of the garden, and second, never to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Furthermore, this experience left in his brain the memory that among the things he had named, "there was not found a helper fit for him" (Genesis 2:20). 

God thus prepared and created a "man" and a "woman" out of the man. When the "man" saw the "woman" whom God had brought to him, he cried out in admiration, as if the "woman" were another "self," the same person. The outpouring of emotion from his mouth indicates that his soul was functioning under the spontaneity of responding to God's command: "Be!" 

Here emerged "human accidental information" between the two. The "woman" made an episodic memory of this experience (cf. Genesis 3:1-5) and said that God had said, "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it" (Genesis 3:3). In these words, we can already see the signs of feelings of envy. That is because it is said that the emotion of envy can be influenced by the idea that one should not "touch" something that one wants. 

Feelings of envy stimulate one's needs. So, their intellectual needs increased rapidly within the souls of the two who took the "human accidental information" as their own knowledge (cf. Genesis 3:4-5). Their souls sought the "breath of life" that God had breathed into them to satisfy their needs so intensely that they turned to the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." In this way, their needs connected with their "tree of the knowledge of good and evil," and at the same time, with their "breath of life", jumping over their "tree of life". This process in their brain has manifested itself as a behaviour of taking from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and eating from it, which God had forbidden. Their eyes opened through the experience of being connected to such powerful spontaneity (cf. Genesis 3:6-7). 

The effect of this happening was most noticeable in the "man", who inherited most of the man's body. He had a vague memory that something had been taken from him (cf. Genesis 2:23). He must have realized then that it was one of his valuable bodily organs. It was the womb. The "man" had lost the body function of producing offspring. Given that God had the idea of bestowing the womb to the male, as seen in the example of the seahorse, God had a reason to take it from the "man" and give it to the "woman". God had placed the possibility for the "man" to become God's helper in the creation of the Body of Christ in his future. On the other hand, the "woman," being given the womb, became a helper in the creation of the human body, the body into which God breathes his breath. She later realized this fact (cf. Genesis 4:1). 

A feeling of envy emerged in the "man" (cf. Genesis 3:12). It turned into a desire for dominance, and he gave the "woman" a name. He showed that he regarded the "woman" whom God had brought to him as any other creature he had named in the presence of God and flaunted his dominion over her. Envy and boasting are inseparable emotions as long as there is desire. Thus, he turned his back on God.
