In Genesis 2 is written: “the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divides and becomes four branches.”
Looking at this information as metaphor, more than the soul of Moses taking a magic carpet ride with Yahweh to some much earlier time (if time can even be calculated into the spiritual realm), look at the creation of Holy Man [call him Adam].
In verse 2:8 we read, “And Yahweh elohim planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.” Think of “Yahweh elohim” as the divine creations made by the ‘hand of God,’ such that everything and everyone in Eden was a physical creation of most divine abilities, like angels in bodies of flesh. This included the animals, with Adam made to be there with them. That is a “Yahweh elohim,” and all elohim as not simple creatures, such as man (male and female) that was made on the sixth “day.” This is taking place on the seventh “day,” a “day” that is still ticking in 2021.
To grasp all “Yahweh elohim,” look at the two trees in the center or midst. Think of your body of flesh and what is at the center or midst. Think of the heart.
Now, think about the heart being divided into chambers, with four branches connecting the heart to the expanses of the body. Two of the branches are arteries. Two are veins. The arteries send enriched blood to the whole body. The veins return tired blood to the heart.
This means tree of life is the lungs, because the lungs supply the blood with oxygen. The whole body needs oxygen and the blood supplies it, with the blood pumped by the heart muscle. Once the oxygen is delivered to the cells, the oxygen depleted blood returns to the heart, where the lungs is resupplying it with oxygen.
Oxygen must be seen as the spirit of life. In Eden it is the presence of Yahweh. The tree of life is ruach or the breath of Yahweh.
To eat only from the tree of life means a soul that permanently is filled with the ruach of Yahweh. Those souls can remain in Eden forever, with bodies of flesh that never age or die.
To eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is to have a soul cease being a Yahweh elohim and become human. Humans breathe the oxygen created by plants on the earth, not the presence of Yahweh. Humans are not elohim. Humans have a heart that can invite Yahweh to come into, but the soul must deny itself and withdraw from its addiction to knowledge. Until that time comes, the heart pumps blood filled with the elements of death, which is either good [filled with hope and promise of earthly oxygen] or evil [depleted of hope and promise without earthly oxygen].
Because the serpent influenced “Yahweh elohim” to fall from grace, he remains nearby to ensure he is not left alone in the realm of eternal darkness. Satan, like misery, loves company. The task is to stop listening to the whispers of sin, and beg Yahweh to enslave one’s body of flesh to His Will. If Yahweh marries one’s soul, one’s soul regains Yahweh elohim status; but the body of flesh will never return to Eden.
