Tree Of Life

R&S died when Theland did. I miss him.
Unfortunately, that's the nature of reality.
We all cease to exist at some point,
Plant, animal or human. We all die and cease to exist!
(Why humans believe that we don't is a mystery to me)
BUT, To believers in eternal life,
Just what was the point of planting a tree of eternal life in
the Garden of Eden?
I really would like to know?
Its the lesser know tree. (After the tree of knowledge of good and evil)
How often would Adam & Eve have to partake of it?
Would they have died anyway if they refused to have eaten?
After they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, was it still there?
And what happened to the Angel who guarded the Garden of Eden with a Fiery sword
Was he drowned in Noahs flood, along with the magical tree of life?
And why is there no mention of a such a magical tree in heaven
(Book of Revelation for example)
Do we not have a choice to live forever once we are dead by eating from a tree of life?
Its almost as if its ALL orchestrated by God and we don't have a say.

Zacs, I'm glad you liked it. Alan Watts was a great man, you could do a lot worse than check out a few more of the YouTubes which have been made of his talks.
This book by him on the Tao is very good. I sent a copy of it to each of my children many years ago;

//Nailit - you should watch.//
And what makes you think that I havn't?
(Hint. I have)
Alan Watts was a well known alcoholic
(References supplied for the unaware...its not hard to find nowadays)
No secret on AB that I have a drink problem.
So why would you want to direct me to a 'Spiritual' teacher that has a drink problem???????
ALL these so called 'spiritual' teachers no more than you or me.
Khandro cannot even decide if he's a bloody Buddhist or a Christian,
