the formation of the world and what's more stranger is that no one and I mean no one is in Eden other than some old man that tends the garden and to the animals so to speak.
There are two in Eden. It says so in the book. It wasn't history. Its blueprint of life. This is why if you are Christian, Jesus said the Kingdom is within us. In fact this external reality is projected from within. How weird is that!

Yes but would argue "YOU" get to play with realities structure is incorrect. Because in unfolding duality, only the singularity exists. That is why no-one can pass the gates. One has to become no-one, to pass. In replacing lower conciousness with higher conciousness we becomes one with realities structure.
added... should have said in replacing singular conciousness with global conciousness.

Its explained in garden of eden. Our female aspect (eve) is physical, our spiritual nature (adam) is spiritual. Adam was made in the image of God. So the female aspect is only a temporary aspect of little importance (made of dust like cloths). Eve is controlled by snake (ego construct) to forever chase desires. That will continue (we will surely die=reincarnation) until we experience all dualities in nature.
Quantum entanglement tells us everything is connected. Its only our senses that are limited. Death to dualistic nature gives rise to union of divine superconsciousness etc.
Does this no make sense, given reality is already so clearly organized in a dualistic (though singular) polarity?
Many religions tell us that reality is maya, an illusion, from within.
What role does duality play within an monistic scheme?
It has been speculated in kaballah "To know thyself". St. Francis of Assisi said "what you are looking for, is what is looking.". Meaning our seat of concious is not created by neural activity. Our experience is shared.
I suspect that yes, there is a creator but why the sudden interest in sparking my memories.

"To become no-one" is an odd state of being I will tell you that much my experience was when I stripped everything, all emotions, all things I was taught as to who I was I observed the world and it was dead quiet that is when you begin to realize that the soul/the seed or the spark is an observer of a reality that is decoded to us
The more you begin to grasp things the more you begin to realize what the message all those individuals like Christ and what not meant. That is if you strip away all the other religious stuff and focus mainly on the pure raw message

I feel that some of your chakra's have opened. Its not a reward but result of past actions (including reincarnation). Sometimes when this happens people feel changes in their senses. Sounds and/or color might appear more intense, you may feel taller etc. You might start sensing bubbles of thoughts, from those around you, as thoughts of your own. Its important not to become too engrossed in any of these things. Just accept them as part and parcel of the process in awakening.... A Zen saying, “Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water”.

Yes striped of everything, aka no-self, one exists, the watcher, witnessing the beauty and love in all things. Its very blissful. I need return that place.

Yes truth within the dogma. But truth is also duality. So eventually we have to free ourselves of all concepts and just accept Tat Tvam Asi (that thou art him).
Surrendering our self to the abyss.

Your mind likes intellectualising everything yes. Mine craves simplification. Thats why I seek comfort from people like Khahdro-la. Seeking enlightenment through Bodhicitta not for self ego, but self sacrifice, to help others escape suffering.

I don't know what you are talking about.
All I did was post a vid about the witness ....there is nothing 'intellectual' in the video.
I'm not getting the feeling you, glend nor Astrocyte are 'beginning to grasp things" concerning Christ's message or what it means. Your philosophies, teachings, opinions, shared experiences and way of talking all sound rather strange and devoid of true knowledge, wisdom, enlightenment or spiritual insight into Christ's message to me, a bit “empty” if you will.

The secret of the kingdom of God was only given to the 12 apostles (Mark 4:11) which doesn't include Paul. So the wisdom you feel in Christianity is delussional.
Most philosophers, great intellectuals though they may be, show no interest in “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” (Eph.1:3) Jehovah, and so he shows no interest in their search for knowledge. In fact, Jesus Christ told his followers that God actually keeps knowledge from them. (Matt. 11:25)
Revelation 2:2 (Jesus speaking):
“I know your deeds, and your labor and endurance, and that you cannot tolerate bad men, and that you put to the test those who say they are apostles, but they are not, and you found them to be liars.”

John 8:44 - Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Through over 40 years of research I'm getting pretty good at finding the truth, and the lies.
It has been proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the biblical figure called Jesus, was a fiction. If you are wondering how I could come to that conclusion, please, watch the following video before you question me on the subject.

The Universe was very lonely or very bored, and decided to make life to fill the void, violently trying to escape such a mundane fate of atrophy.
Ironically, every time it made something, it came up with better ideas everytime after an so on an so forth but each time finished, it still felt out of place.
Aeons later, the universe came up with all sorts of stuff mixing old an new ideas together and coming to self realization that it would be alone in an instant. After being content with it creation it decided to sleep, only to find other like itself.
