That Forbidden Tree

9.19.1 | 9.2.14-13.1.18.25.1.13  
 
Who is that  
'I am' in me?  
I am Day  
opposing Night:  
Horus' Sun  
opposing Set;  
I am Yin  
opposing Yang;  
I am Sin  
opposing Christ;  
I am the Beginning  
and the End;  
I am the All  
opposite naught.  
 
Or are these  
the other way  
around?  
 
Who is that  
'I am' in me?  
Am I Night  
Opposite Day?  
Am I Set  
Opposite Sun?;  
Am I Yang  
Opposite Yin?  
Am I Christ  
Opposite Sin?  
Am I an End  
Of a Beginning?  
Am I the naught  
Opposite All?  
 
I discovered that Adam  
and Eve in me  
to have eaten from  
that Forbidden Tree -  
My Eyes were opened  
and I realized  
that we were but naked  
before God.  
 
He reminded me:  
 
"That "I am" in you  
Is that 'I am' in Me;  
For 'I am' that "I am"  
And forever will be -  
So long as you learn  
why not to eat  
of the fruits of  
that Forbidden Tree."
