Adams experience in the Garden of Eden opened his eyes to the reality of his individuality, his isolation from God and the rest of creation. With awareness of the nature of evil (rejection) man rejects Gods word and in his free will becomes a defensive creature. As a defensive creature, man develops a strong ego (self) and sees the world in a reflection of his own fears. Individualism has taken over, and the world now is viewed as possibly threatening, so the self (ego) rises up to judge any threats to the individual and therein judge and deal out rejection.  This course is reversed in Gods grand scheme of the world, as the isolated man, who is saved by God (grace)is generally drawn out of his defensive shell ,and in surrendering the ego through worship of God in (trust),  honesty, truth, and love. Over the span of time, man will lose his individualism and fear and only in surrendering his ego can the soul find peace in uniting with God the creator and in this only will we approach the man in the Garden of Eden who before the fall was in a state of paradise. We will learn to fear evil and trust our God and come to love him as a father, that is, in fear, obedience, love and respect, and we will have great happiness by serving him, as in serving him we will be in the very act of accepting (worship)and we will be in Gods blessings.  This treatise will examine the structure of the soul and the dynamics of what the soul is and how it functions. We will see the bases of emotions, of what are happiness and its opposite misery. To understand that God created this world and all who are in it, and that he has a plan, for harvesting souls. God is dynamic and all around him are full of the love and happiness. This is the God who created our souls and he created man in his image. TRUTH <o

Innocence was lost before God as self centeredness took over the soul, as the individual realized the defensive nature of the relationship to the things around him or her, and the ego was generated (which is the bases of all evil). Before the fall, Man was not self conscious and so never saw his nakedness (and as a result, he had no ego), he only looked out and not in, and had no defensive self (Ego). With original sin, man was forced to see the world as threatening and therein his soul generated the ego in his need for protection and as so he covered his nakedness. The ego rose up in man and it became the Judge of his private world and it decided what where, and how to reject and selectively accept, (in the fear of rejection). For the first time man knew fear, and in the fear of rejection he covered his nakedness and so developed a outer covering to protect the inner soul and this outer covering is generated by the souls defensive walls, and while it isolates the solitary soul in the fear of rejection it gives rise to the ego, and this is the nature of the living soul. The inner soul was naked without the protection of these isolating walls of defense which surround the inner soul, the defensiveness, and the fear of rejection are what give rise to the ego. As the inner soul is protected by the outer soul, the soul as a whole itself becomes defensive by nature, this process is developed, and the result, is made that of the foundational walls built out of the fear of rejection that do isolate the soul and these give rise to that give rise to the ego, that in turn makes decisions as to what, were, how, how much, and who to reject. So man sought to defend himself from the nature of evil Rejection and as so man became self centered and individualistic,(possessed by his ego), focusing his attention exclusively on himself. This fear of rejection will become the building block for the development of mans eternal soul and the individual will seek to find rest from his constant lookout for the bases of evil (rejection) and he accomplishes this by only laying down his defensive ego. With this fear of rejection we build defensive isolating walls, and these walls are the bases of the nature of the individual or isolated soul. Acceptance and rejection (good and evil) are with us all throughout our lives. Our choice to accept, or reject involvement influence the development of our psyche and determines our experience with emotions.  Our societys emphasis on the individual , shows that we are truly a community of isolated egotistical individuals and as isolated individuals we choose to accept or reject opportunities for involvement in life that come our way and in our ego we dont see evil.  We are isolated by our ego and this is what separates us, from each other and our God. With each new soul, and the generation of the ego, socialization needs to be relearned as it was natural to Adam and Eve before the fall.<o
