I was having a chat with someone the other night on gmail pop-up and she mentioned something being about a figment of our imagination. As in, do we exist at all or are we just a figment of our own imaginations?

Then I wrote that perhaps that what the fig-leaf means in the Garden of Eden in Genesis: perhaps the fig leaf represents the figment or the self-delusion of who we think that we are. If that is the nature of the ‘beast’ perhaps then the ‘beast’ is represented in the snake. That, in nature, we are a delusion of self. Kundalini is associated with the snake at the bottom of the spine in keeping us earth-bound. We do not know who we are.

The apple of knowledge gave us seemingly the delusion of thinking that we ‘know’ everything. And yet we don’t and still think that we do.

That might explain it anyway!
