Eden

The Garden of Eden had an issue of spiritual dimension that calls me to attention.  Do I want to “know” God or do I want to “love” God?  Or, if the God issue is a stumbling block, do you seek knowledge over love in as relationship?  In Eden the couple had an intimate relationship without a lot of knowledge.  The temptation, as for many of us, is “More.”  We want more and the more in this case is more knowledge.  Search engines, internet, gathering information will not make for love, but it will make for knowledge.  If you want to grow spiritually, many a guru would say, get out of your own way.  You really cannot control or improve the growth which is love, by gathering more stuff. Learning is not irrelevant, but don’t ask it to do what it cannot do, fulfill the hole in your heart.  Love.
