eden as the mind.

The brain is constantly trying to make order out of things. That's a basic summary of why we have so many biases. It's desperately seeking order in the chaos and it manipulates your truth, in order to help you find it. 

Many talk about the Genesis creation poem as one that brings order to the disorder and chaos. The formlessness and darkness of chaos receives days and light and systems. 

And then, humanity seeks more knowledge and the chaos returns, albeit with a new, ordered, flair. 

Maybe Eden is an image of human consciousness. There is a divine order that is pretty different than an information order.

Both really wreck the other.
