I was just responding to Mark's comment on one of my posts. He had mentioned that perhaps I could describe the teachings I am getting right now in spirituality. I told him that right now I am reading the Jewish texts. As I typed out the word "Jewish", Sinead O'Connor sang into my headphones, "There's life outside your mother's garden." Mother = Eve, Garden = Garden of Eden.

I was listening to a tape today on twelve levels of initiation, and it was describing the levels of consciousness. (and we all love levels, levels are cool ;-) The first is basically undifferentiated diffuse consciousness, then you have duality, then a choosing entity makes three, and four is a state of harmony with life. Oh somewhere in those stages there was mention of the Garden of Eden I think. But then the fifth is taking responsibility as a human being in the world, making your contribution. Around this point it was said even paradise gets boring after a while, referring to the fourth stage.
Mark,
Yes, levels truly are "cool". It's like one big video game. It's really a challenge. Well, I like challenges.
Funny thing is in this model the second half you cannot work for it by your own effort, it is given. But, I guess you can give yourself...
