The Parable of the Lost Paradise
The Fall from Spiritualization and the Descent into Base Passions

BTL 10 – I. 288 : 29
29. The life of the first humans was encapsulated in that parable, which reveals to you how man lost the paradise of innocence in which he lived, and how he spurned a world of contemplation and peace for a world of struggle, work, development, and merit. All of this was part of what was to happen, in accordance with the Creator's decrees. That rejection was necessary so that the soul might awaken to the voice of its conscience—which is divine light within man—and so that man might begin his journey by earning merits, ascending from the lower plane of life to the higher one destined for the soul by the Creator.
