It is thought that the narration at the beginning of Genesis is just an allegory, not to be taken literally.  But it is a true account, it is just not talking about what most people think it is talking about.   The first chapters of Genesis are not speaking of the creation of the Earth and a single man and a single woman.  Genesis 1:2 makes it clear that they are not talking about planet Earth.  In these pages we present to you what the original text is talking about.

If you have not yet read ADAM, read it now.

Adam was a spiritual being.  The half-part which he took from Adam was astral in nature, able to experience color, shape and form.   Compared with spirit, astral (soul) is almost physical.  It does have color, shape and form.  It was through Eve that Adam was able to experience the lower realms of existence.

And Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the source of all life. (Genesis 3:20)

Eve is Mother Nature, the soul of all physical and astral creation 

Now Eve is the astral, more physical, part of Adam/Christ who is the source of everything.  God determined that alone, Adam was of little value, so he cut him in half and made the new half open to color, shape and form.   Eve was thus able to see and experience the astral world on a sensual level that Adam could not.  Thus when she saw the fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil she saw that it was good for experience, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to make one understand desire. (Genesis 3:6)

She partook of it and, of course, Adam partook of it through her.  Now much of the narration of Genesis is added to make a nice fable.   Thus we have Adam and Eve hiding from God and God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day.

What did occur was that upon partaking of the fruit, Adam and Even began to experience desire and aversions (the knowledge of good and evil), this quickly led to a state of shame and guilt.  Thus they separated themselves from God.  This "Sin of Adam" comes upon each of us when we are taught to believe in and experience good and evil.
