I've been meaning to write a book before I die, but I have shared some of the material with loved ones. I mostly write things down in paper notebooks and move on to new topics.
I can address the allegory of Eden, instead of sharing my version of historical Eden, so to speak.
In this, the trees are systems of knowledge and Adam is an every-man character aka You. The fruit is the result of the system of knowledge, both in terms of action and consequence. There are two types of fruit, that which hastens your demise and that which prolongs your life. The good truth, or right teachings help a person grow and thrive. They are of the tree of life and their fruit is worth eating. The other fruits, these are things like reckless behaviors and addictions, they are very attractive and taste lovely, but leave one empty and can hasted death in endless ways.
In this sin is not something that causes damnation in an afterlife, rather it is simply harmful to the person who engages in it while alive because it can shorten and or end their life. Life is sacred. Don't bet or count on another one, take care of and appreciate this one as if it is the only one you get, even if you believe you get more.
This part of the allegory of Eden. I am not aware of others making it public.
Understanding it relates to the: By their fruit ye shall know them material. The trees being spoken of are not people, but rather are traditions of knowledge passed down. The whole thing is an ancient pun because writing was done on leaves of palms and on pounded bark and stems and so the idea of systems of knowledge being trees was evidently amusing enough to certain scribes that they stuck with the allegory for thousands of years. Punny right?
So I can at least share that.

One thing I learned about from The Secret Doctrine.. is the concept of Great breaths and lifes of Brahma..
The first thing was the soul/Creator.. which then divided into other people.
Adam Kadmon (me).
But how long the world has existed.
186 great breaths.
Each breath is around:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000, years.

Race has proved itself disgusting as a concept, why use it?
-------------------- LSD, mushrooms and DMT are different structural levels within the same magically simulated mystery sometimes blandly called 'life' Your life, your call.

Its the ways things were suited in the past..
The root races existed until a better root initiated itself..
Now is different
Black or white or Asian.. we all stand on this Earth as united beings.. each deserving its own utility..
