Sneaking back into Eden

Eden

“Any other hope of a transformed experience, however it may be induced, by drugs, music, art, therapies of whatever sort, will ultimately be exposed for what it is: a man-made attempt to walk back into Eden. Those who attempt that way have only themselves to blame if they are lacerated and wounded by the Cherubim’s whirling swords.

The only way is forward, out of the death of Eden, to the Spiritual rebirth of the Kingdom of God, leading finally to the reconciliation of all things in the consummation of Christ.”
– Bible Speaks Today on the Song Of Songs, Page 189
