By Artemis Kampner:
Our very first ancestors opened their eyes at the newest dawn to a world of green. Paradise surrounded our grandmothers and grandfathers as the rich brown mother earth lay moist under their feet. Tree spirits stood tall around our ancestors stretching leisurely toward father sun. The leaves of the trees lay as flat as they could and bathed in the sun rays thus protecting the fragile eyes of the new human folk. The green leaves ate the light eagerly and began to ripen fruits of all colors above the heads of the people. After a few sun and moon cycles the fruit would fall from above down to the people.
Paradise was a blissful place of delicious and delectable fruits, berries, seeds and nuts. The greenery was endless and spread as far as a person could walk in their entire lifetime. The divine provided complete sustenance at the moment of conception for those made in his image and it can in the form of plant food. Words were never spoken to the people but as food fell from the heavens, perfect food which would fuel their vessels, free from cruelty or dead vibrations it was as if the Lord said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.” (Genesis 1:29)
Just like abundant and colorful mother Earth unaltered plant foods are filled to the brim with nutrients. Like the earth itself, unaltered plant foods are composed mostly of water. Uncompromised and uncooked plant foods are also filled with a life force that is only compromised by our teeth, saliva and digestive systems before returning to the earth. Unlike instant foods that we eat today, the only waste from unaltered plant foods became nutrient rich compost that assists all of the other plants to survive.
Nature’s first law is one of sustenance. By eating of paradise we can become harmonious with the divine creation we are a part of. It is important to note that although the book of Genesis depicts a fall from grace, we are never deprived of Paradise. Even between the cracks in the sidewalk of an urban dwelling the word of God grows up green toward the sun. Eden is what sustains our every breath on this planet. Trees, shrubs, weeds, flowers all coexist with our expirations. In return they provide us with the breath and food of life.
