The Tree of Life is the KEY to THEOSIS!!!

Have we been getting the forbidden fruit all wrong? What if the Fall of Man wasn’t just about breaking a rule, but about a fundamental shift in consciousness—one that fractured our perception of reality itself? The story of Eden says Adam and Eve ate the fruit and suddenly became “like God, knowing good and evil.” But what if that wasn’t just about moral awareness? What if it was about a psychedelic awakening that severed their connection to divine union and threw them into a hyper-aware, ego-driven state of being?

Think about it—psychedelics are known to induce altered states, dissolve boundaries, and radically change perception. Could the forbidden fruit have done something similar? Did it open our eyes… or blind us to something deeper? In this video, we’ll dive into the biblical and theological clues, the nature of psychedelics, and whether we’ve misunderstood the real cost of the Fall—not just exile from Eden, but exile from a way of perceiving reality that we were meant to have.
