Adam in the Garden
is not very much different
from any primate in the jungle
all his needs are provided
and he is the king of his domain
but thru self-consciousness
adam incurs a dis-connect with God
God no longer is the center of his universe
he, himself, is
he must attain Redemption
thru a voluntary process of self-discovery/
self-abandonment
the saving act is Sacrifice
sacrifice of one's own self
Sacrifice is the ultimate act of Love
purchasing Redemption
