## Resource

This Episode begins by initiating a more detailed study of the events of the fall of Adam and Eve and its subsequent effect on all humanity. The Episode is an attempt to explore these events more closely, unveiling the truth of what happened in the Garden of Eden; considering both the natural and the spiritual realms in which man is intended to live and experience. To do so there need to be laid a foundation of understanding that is to be built upon, a foundation of some key ideas and Biblical concepts. This introductory Episode of “What Really Happened in the Garden” is too much to be discussed in a single setting. Thus, it is divided into four Episodes , each parts; each part set to answer specific questions. This Episode, Part I, addresses the following questions: What is the significance of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life ? Are they really trees with potent fruit or are they symbolic of something spiritual? If man is body, spirit, and soul, how has the fall affected the total man?
