Your mind has been opened to the true ways of the world.  But you're not jaded by these brutal truths - you're ILLUMINATED by them.  People are not always good, systems are not always just.  Not everyone acts with righteousness and purity of intent.  Through eating the fruit of various life experiences, you now have the knowledge of good and evil - This wisdom is a JEWEL.  From this place, you can move with discernment, conviction, and strong personal power.

​

Similarly, you have wisdom about which "trees" - people, systems, or situations - clearly produce fruit that is good to eat, and which ones produce poison.  When we have honed our skills of observation, located our intuition within our body and spirit, and understood the ways our own energy interacts with those of various others, all these data points become our lens of discernment.  We can identify patterns that lead to delicious apples, and those that lead to poisoned ones.  We can artfully live our lives, eating from lovely trees and understanding why the others aren't good for us.

​

This knowledge of good and evil helps us see clearly the gods that others serve.  The ways people act, the ulterior motives that drive those actions, and even the chain of events that kicked off their behavior - all are visible to us, whether we decide to call these things "good" or "bad".  This full-spectrum awareness illuminates our understanding of the humans and energies at work in the world, and gives us a fresh perspective on how WE fit into that world.​​​​​​​
