 A árvore do bem e do mal é uma metáfora que simboliza o poder maligno, que já existia antes do homem

Jesus says: ^[...] "Don"t you read in Genesis that God madeMan the ruler over all that was on Earth-that is, over everything except God and his angelic ministers? Don"t you read that He made Woman so that she would be man"s companion in joy and in ruling over all the living? Don"t you read that they could eat everything except from the tree of the knowledge of Good and EVil? Why? What underlying meaning is in the phrase "so that he will rule"? And in the phrase referring to the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil? Have you ever wondered-you that wonder about so many useless things and are never able to ask your soul about the heavenly truths? ^[...] "If you were able to question your soul, it would tell you that the true, exact meaning, as vast as creation, of that word "rule" is this: "So that Man will rule over everything. Over all three of his strata. The lower stratum-animal. The middle stratum-moral. The higher stratum-spiritual. And so that he will direct all three to a single end: "To possess God." To possess Him by deserving to with this hard-and-fast rule, which keeps all the powers of the self subject and makes them servants of this one goal: to deserve to possess God.
"It would tell you that God had prohibited the knowledge of Good and Evil because He had granted Good to his creatures gratuitously and He did not want you to know Evil because it is a fruit sweet to the palate which, however, on descending into the blood with its juice, brings about a fever which kills and produces parching thirst, and, therefore, the more one drinks that deceitful juice, the thirstier one gets for it.
"You will object, "And why did He place it there?" Why! Because Evil is a power which arose by itself, like certain monstrous maladies in the healthiest body.
"Lucifer was an angel, the most beautiful of the angels. A perfect spirit inferior to God alone. And yet, in his luminous being, a fume of haughtiness arose which he did not disperse, but, rather, condensed by nourishing it. And from this incubation Evil was born. He existed before man did. God had hurled him down outside of Paradise – the accursed Incubator of Evil, this contaminator of Paradise. But he has remained the eternal Incubator of Evil, and, unable to contaminate Paradise any more, he has contaminated the Earth.
"That metaphorical plant is intended to demonstrate this truth. God had said to the Man and the Woman, "Know all the laws and mysteries of creation. But do not seek to usurp my right to be man"s Creator. My love, which will circulate in you, will suffice to propagate the human lineage, and, without sensual lust, but by the pulsation of charity alone, it will bring forth the new Adams of the lineage. I give you everything. I reserve for Myself only this mystery of the formation of man." "Satan wanted to remove from Man this intellectual virginity, and with his serpentine tongue he flattered and caressed Eve's members and eyes ^{[spiritually urging Eve]}, prompting reflexes and sensitivities which they formerly lacked, for Malice had intoxicated them. She "saw." And on seeing she wanted to experience. The flesh was awakened.
"Oh, if only she had called upon God! If she had run to say, "Father! I am sick. The serpent caressed me, and disturbance is in me." The Father would have purified her and healed her with his breath, for as He had infused life into her, He could have infused innocence into her again, brining her to forget the serpentine toxin and, indeed, placing repugnance towards the Serpent within her, as it is present in those whom a malady has assaulted and who, when healed of that malady, bear an instinctive repugnance towards it.
"But Eve did not go to the Father. Eve went back to the Serpent. That sensation was sweet for her. "On seeing that the fruit of the tree was good to eat and lovely to look at and pleasing in appearance, she took it and ate it."
"And "she understood." Malice had now descended to gnaw at her innards. She saw with new eyes and heard with new ears the habits and voices of the beasts. And she longed for them with a mad longing ^{[Eve longed for the habits of the beasts and this made her sin against chastity with Adam, which was forbidden by God because He wanted to be the legitimate Father of all men, just as He was for Jesus, and not the adoptive father that He became.]}.
"She began sin by herself. She carried it out with her companion. That is why a greater condemnation weighs upon woman. It is because of her that man has become rebellious towards God and has known lust and death. It is because of her that he has no longer been able to master his three realms: of the spirit, for he allowed the spirit to disobey God; of the moral sphere, for he allowed the passions to rule over him; of the flesh, for he degraded it to the instinctive laws of the beasts.
""The Serpent seduced me," Eve said. "The woman offered me the fruit, and I ate it," Adam said. And since then the threefold concupiscence has gripped the three realms of man.
