Hello All:
The following blurb has been a part of some of the most compelling

I agree.
What series of events led to the first time someone asked: "Who am I?"
Adam & Eve mythology speaks to that moment. They eat fruit from "The
Tree of Knowledge" and become aware of their differences, aware of
boundaries and separateness.
Humanity went from being nature to being in nature. Why though?
Not an attempt to create another mystery here, Mark. Just wondering.
Best regards,
Chuck
