Explanation of Genesis 3:6

作者: Brian David

This relief, with a female serpent and Eve giving fruit to Adam, is at the entrance to Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris.

Feeling life as their own (represented by the woman), the people of the Most Ancient Church felt an overwhelming desire to think from themselves about the nature of God ("good" and "food" both relate to desire, either for good or evil), and supported that desire with twisted logic ("pleasant" and "eyes" both relate to the intellect, either for good or evil). On top of that, the idea of being "wise," of potentially knowing what God knew, filled them with pleasure (it was "to be desired"). So they "ate the fruit"; they began exploring the nature of divinity, with an eye toward having divine knowledge themselves.

But there was hesitation. They still knew what they had been commanded, and the rational parts of their minds (represented by the "man," used here in a masculine sense) had to be pulled in. But they were; the "man" ate the fruit as well.

(参照: Arcana Coelestia 207, 208, 209)

1 "Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.

2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.

3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man."
