We...I can't predict what will happen with Mankind. We can guess by the original story that whoever eats the fruit of the Tree Of Knowledge will be cast out, so at this rate Evelyn [nice name!] will get the boot and Adam will remain in Paradise -- or until he discovers temptation all by himself (and he will have seen the results of yeilding to it through her, so will be better informed of the conseqences).<br /><br />To answer a previous notion: No, I had never seen your tangent on the Creation story before, it is a unique "what if?". I made mention of the Lilith story as an example of others tales where someone came before/instead of Eve -- her tale merely adds to the history, yours changes it. :)The Mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466433750698090728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1105630611622065702005-01-13T10:36:00.000-05:002005-01-13T10:36:00.000-05:00mmmmm....Apple pie.mmmmm....Apple pie.Corihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931563994508917177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1105617924648314742005-01-13T07:05:00.000-05:002005-01-13T07:05:00.000-05:00My muse sent me a link about the Lilith legend:
h...My muse sent me a link about the Lilith legend:<br /><br />http://www.hagalil.com/archiv/2000/09/lilith.htm<br /><br />The article (in German language) attempts a rehabilitation of Lilith who merely tried to assert her equality and who, after being cast out of Eden, continually attempted a reconciliation with Adam and Eve. Adam is all the time trying to maneuver Lilith into the role of a mistress, meanwhile painting a picture to Eve of her as a demon, when what he really resents is the idea that she is as good as he is. His equal. Eve's subservience leaves him quite bored with her (Eve). <br /><br />In my story, Evelyn takes it one step further by turning the tables on Adam. I won't try to predict what will happen next.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1105528393068891082005-01-12T06:13:00.000-05:002005-01-12T06:13:00.000-05:00according to the Gnostics...

When they passed before him in pairs, male and female, Adam-being already like a twenty-year-old man-felt jealous of their loves, and though he tried coupling with each female in turn, found no satisfaction in the act. He therefore cried: 'Every creature but I has a proper mate!', and prayed God would remedy this injustice.<br /> <br />God then formed Lilith, the first woman, just as He had formed Adam, except that He used filth and sediment instead of pure dust. From Adam's union with this demoness, and with another like her named Naamah, Tubal Cain's sister, sprang Asmodeus and innumerable demons that still plague mankind. Many generations later, Lilith and Naamah came to Solomon's judgement seat, disguised as harlots of Jerusalem.<br /> <br />Adam and Lilith never found peace together; for when he wished to lie with her, she took offence at the recumbent posture he demanded. 'Why must I lie beneath you?' she asked. 'I also was made from dust, and am therefore your equal.' Because Adam tried to compel her obedience by force, Lilith, in a rage, uttered the magic name of God, rose into the air and left him.<br /> <br />-- <I>Hebrew Myths</I> by Robert Graves and Raphael Patai (New York: Doubleday, 1964), pp 65-69.The Mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466433750698090728noreply@blogger.com
