| When Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden, they left as infants,
a form of being that they had not known previously. The Fall was not an
expulsion from innocence to experience, but from experience to innocence,
a potentially more terrifying transition. A fall from innocence to experience is felt as constraint and regimentation—a feeling of frustration, even violation. A fall from experience to innocence is felt as vertigo and freefall—and ultimately dissolution. |
