The Birth of Seth

When the Garden serpent spoke its truth, doubt arose. Its words had been truthful; but they raised an aspect of Truth before its time had come—before its foundational thoughts in the mind of Man were established, balancing thesis and antithesis, so that building could continue without error.

The woman had been unprepared for the encounter and the exchange; so the serpent’s words of truth gave rise to a subtle temptation, which insinuated itself into Eve’s mind. Unaware of it, the new teaching was giving rise to thoughts at odds with the Father's timeless counsel. Through no particular fault of her own, Eve had become confused.

 Doubt, more than the tree's fruit, was the temptation. Her focus wasn’t single, and the basis of her understandings was challenged: point turned into counterpoint as antithetical concepts arose in her mind. Knowing she was out of her depth, but unwilling to make accusation against the serpent, her husband, or the Breath that sustained her life, she had eaten; and eating while in doubt was the error.

 In her innocence, Eve had become transfixed: she was deceived by her memory and by the thoughts to which it gave rise, shooting this way and that within the context of emotions aswim in desire—all of it in conflict with principles she held dear, whether rightly so or not. That she might have stumbled in her duty was a great pity, if not a shame; for, right or wrong, the eating had called God’s righteousness into question in her mind, and she couldn’t imagine a time when the Creator’s majesty would, again, become clear.

 Adam thought of things to come as he examined the fruit in his hand. He cared not at all for himself. His concern c was for the corrective measures l Wisdom c would impose y on those who would follow after m.

Some would be falling further behind, and others would be just barely keeping up! Although he had misgivings about judgments yet to come, Adam had retained his faith w that the families of Man would find rest m, and that renewal a and regeneration t within the Holy Breath would eliminate c all disappointment n and every regret h.

Always circumspect q, Adam recognized n  that discomforts f triggered x by natural hunger w had contributed to Eve’s decision to reach out for fruit whose time had not yet come. The consequences s of her choice would be disastrous f; for Eve's misapprehension would take on a life of its own.

As father of Man and recipient of the first Breath, Adam chose to honor his oath to Eve: to let the consequence of error run its course until its parameters should become clear to all. Because he shared culpability for the error that had taken root in God’s gift, its burden was partly his to shoulder; but Adam had faith that all error would be uprooted and driven out: not to mankind's rescue, alone, but—much more—to his enlightenment!

As he marshaled his thoughts in preparation for the future life in Nod, Adam trusted that the Engineer of life's foundations s would enable his children n to perceive a the Father's will to provide y relief h without drawing further affliction upon themselves w.
