Introduction
Welcome to the Threshing Floor, Im Randy Maugans. Our websites for this show are threshingfloor-radio.com and threshingfloor-radio.podomatic.com---also, OffPlanet Radio.com, for the paranormal side. It has been a while since we spokea condition of the ongoing directive that I speak only when there is a clear message. I need to say a great THANKS to those who support this workthose who contribute---you are among the FEW, and YOU make it possible for the others to hear this, and for these shows to continue. Those who encourage, pray, and send their thoughtsthanks! I have gotten some inquiries as to whether I was going awaythe answer to that is that every show is the last oneI have no plans. At this point, I intend to carry on for as long as we may be of servicethere are VERY few voices left with an unique message that is not corrupted by mans institutions and mans understandingI certainly, dont have it alland those who would think they do are, themselves, fools. We are going to discuss a big subject ,and this will be part one of at least two shows I want to do on what is called the fallthe story of how mankind came to be corrupted, and in a nonreligious study, what it means to us in this present time. We will anchor in Genesis Chapter 3but I have some narratives and thoughts that will be decidedly OUTSIDE the common interpretation of these events.
Time Lines
We dont know WHEN, and we do not know precisely WHERE, the original events that are called the creation in the Hebrew Bible occurred. Most modern day Christians are taught of a 6,000 year chronology from Genesis forward to the present era---using what is called the Ussher Chronology, a work of the 17th century Anglican Archbishop, James Ussher, from Aramagh, a county in Northern Ireland. Ussher based his work on a LITERAL reading of the Bible, using the genealogies in the Hebrew texts of the King James Bible, correlated to the Hebrew calendars, using Johanne Keplers astronomical tables, which he then adjusted to the Roman Julian calendar before reconciling to the current Gregorian calendar.
While much of modern science, and even many ancient manuscripts indicate a MUCH older earth than 6,000 years, the controversy of so-called young earth theory continues to generate considerable heat, largely due to the canonization of such a theory (and it IS a theory); largely by its inclusion in the Scofield Reference Bible, King James Edition---and so has it been entrenched in modern fundamentalist doctrinealong with Jewish dispensationalism and the rapture doctrinesome of you out there need to examine your sources for such beliefs! The Bible cannot be read as exclusively literal, neither can it be read as complete allegory and metaphor. As in all things, a BALANCE is required, which is called SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT. We come from God. On this much nearly all the worlds religions agree. Now, the worlds religions, as we have them today, are ALL distortions (twisted)..echoes of the ancient beginnings of what is called mankind. As such, we have only distant echoes of the past events, much of it altered at the hands of kings and priests. I will take this opportunity here to just add that I do not adhere to a young earth doctrine, and, in fact, I believe the earth is FAR older than 6,000 yearsI believe we are probably living on a planet that is MILLIONS of years old. Certainly, Christianity is not known for holding to verifiable doctrinesand millions of Christians continue to hold views that are unsustainable outside the CULT of the mainstream religious system of Rome---and of all her harlot daughters, called the Churches. That is NOT what I want to discuss, but it does establish the tone for this study on what is called The Fall. What happened to man in the formative stages of development; and specifically, as relates to the narrative given in the Hebrew Book of Genesis? What exactly WAS the nature of this sudden change in mans estate relative to the Creator (or Creators)? What was the serpent (Nacash), and what role did it play in this series of events? Is the Biblical account really a literal narrative? OR---is it a metaphorical tale of what happened to the race of man on a scale of universal consciousness?
The Creator
It is important here to note that while a belief in the Creator is axiomatic; and that man was NOT some sort of cosmic accident that then evolved into increasingly higher orders of intelligence and physical symmetry; that we did NOT emerge from some primordial soup as an ordered class of chemicalsNO, the classification of beings called human are, very much, the creation of---and, as stated in the scriptures, an IMAGE of the Original Creator.
Thesis
Now, beyond that original creation---and what constitutes the actual STATE of this being discussed, lies a vast gulf of opinions, vague histories, legends, and mythologies. If we use the scriptures of the Bible as a means to navigate logically, we do have enough data to determine
2
some solid spiritual foundations, which, for this show, will center on two aspects:
The state of the spiritual identity of man, and the development---or de-evolvment---of mans consciousness---the two are very much connected. What does Genesis actually tell usand how do assimilate what appears to be a fable, a tale, and a mythological account far removed from our modern context and understandings:
The Serpent
Genesis 3: 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? {Yea...: Heb. Yea, because, etc.} 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. A note here: the being, called nacash, clearly has knowledge of what God instructed Adam and Eve regarding this tree (all terms are metaphorical for the sake of this study, including terms such as Adam and Eve. tree, serpent, and fruit---it is all part of a package of story-telling in both simple form and as a code.) It would appear that this beingthis shining one clearly is part of an inner circle with great knowledge about both the creation AND the Creator(s). 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Note this: the woman sawliterally, to see, or to advise self---could it be that Eve became self-conscious at this point? ) A few notes here: the serpent-Hebrew word, nachash, (naw-khash'), which is translated in the KJV as serpent, or snake, takes on the role of villain here in Genesis 3. That identity to this day
3
is enduring and has led to numerous religious myths, and is the beginning of what is called the Serpent Seed Doctrinethe idea that Eve (woman) had sex with this creature. First, lets establish what this being was: the word, nachash (or nahash), while interpreted as a serpent, literally, is really a broader term for a type of BEING which is broadly seen as a diviner or an enchanter---the word, in fact, is used as a verb also for the acts of divination and enchantment. The term also means---literally, shining one. Numerous Hebrew scholars also link the terms, saraap and tannin to the words translated as snakes, serpents, or sea monsters. Serap forms the root of the word, seraphim and tannin is a form of dragon-like monsters. The imagery is recurring in both old and new testaments, as in the incident where in Exodus, the staves of both Moses and Aaron turn into serpents; and those of Pharoahs magicians likewise. Recall also, the erecting of the bronze serpent (nahash), by Moses, against the bites of the seraphim, or burning ones during the desert trek of the Exodus. These terms, coming through transliterated Hebrew, are at best, imprecise, as we currently have them in modern translations, but the imagery persists that we are not dealing with simply a snake or reptile. The prophet, Isaiah, for instance describes a vision of Seraphim---flamelike angelic beings (Isaiah 6:6)---the Strongs at Hebrew 8314 defines these seraph as: burning, i.e. (figuratively) poisonous (serpent); specifically, a saraph or symbolical creature (from their copper color):--fiery (serpent), seraph. So, we have to deal with the metaphorical, symbolic language, and the stream of continuity that links persistent imagery of serpent-like beings with the angelic realmsit is simply inescapable. The New Testament continues this tradition even in the words of the Messiah, Yeshua: Mt 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. {harmless: or, simple} Mt 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Mr 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Lu 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The Greek word for serpent is ophis: Strongs Gr.3789. ofiv ophis, of'-is
probably from 3700 (through the idea of sharpness of vision); a snake, figuratively, (as a type of sly cunning) an artful malicious person, especially Satan:--serpent. If you look carefully, at Luke 10 v. 19, and parse the phrase properly, it clear He does NOT mean reptiles, but extends the references to both serpents and scorpions as being part of the power of the enemy. Is your immortal enemy a class of earth-crawling reptiles? Jesus used the serpent as a linkage BACK to the nacash, seraph, and tannin---forms of supernatural angelic powers. Why else would he tell us to be wise as serpentsrelatively speaking, reptiles are NOT all that bright! So, we need to fix firmly, that our LITERAL readings of English Bible tranlations do, in fact, obscure details about the work of angelic beings. Folks, this is not Sunday School, and we are not watching Dr. Doolittle---grow up!
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. We could endlessly parse all the words in the verses and continue to be scholarly, but, again, the language itself is very mangled. What we have is an allegorical story, in simple terms, that transmits very complex ideas in a coded form. Although I believe the Bible has been mishandled, I also believe it does transmit concepts down through time which are communicating critical information. What WE, being wise as the shining one (but gentle like birds) need to do is use this allegorythis rich mythologyto pull together the concepts being communicated to us.
The Split
The Shining One is revealed to the humans, and he proceeds to tempt the woman into becoming self aware, i.e.-separate---not only from her original self which was as one with the man, but, in fact, separate from God because of a SPLIT in consciousness. In effect, the Divine Contract which was that the Man and the Woman were ONE is violated when the Shining One makes her self-aware---until now, the man and woman were to be as one with the woman as the males helpmeet; they were to have no separation. Their DNA and consciousness are entwined with the Earth and with the Ruler of All.
6
The Tree in this story is the Tree known as the double helix---the Divine DNA of the Ruler of All, which was to be given to man and woman as part of his divine essence, after man had learned from HIM. Here I will inset the understanding of Adam naming animals from Chronicle Projects The Supreme History:
v16 And so Ruler of all the supreme ones once again used the land to form everything which is represented in the field and all that flies in the sky. And he took each one to the appointed (adam) so that appointed could understand why they were made. And he had the appointed name everything he made to progress the Earth, everything which breathed to be alive, he gave a name based on what they were known for. v17 And so each name that the appointed gave, became their permanent names. The appointed one is the one called Adam, and he is in training under the Elohim/Supreme Ones, to behold the creation processnote how it tells us: so that appointed could understand why they were made.
The Purpose
It is clear that the Ruler of All---The Father---was training the man to observe and UNDERSTAND the intimate process of creation. Understand that to the Father, CREATION is the highest expression of His own Divine intellect, and an act of unspeakable love. The land/earth, is also a type of the feminine creative matrix---the womband the woman, who is to be created following these verses (16, 17) is a part of the creative process which connects to the DNA of the Ruler of All. Man/woman, in essence, were ONE being with separate delegated roles, but were formed from one strand of the Divine DNAwith the consciousness to be able to DIRECTLY commune with the ONE in total intimacy.
The original beingthe soul being, or nephesh, called Adam was BOTH male and female, who was divided according to gender to bring LIFE into the earth. This original nature was always to be of ONE soulthus, it was the ideal of the concept of soulmates. Man was uniquely created as a NEW CREATURE, possessing attributes of the Divine, but with a soul nature that did not include FULL knowing of the evil and fear that was contained in the entropy of the expanding universe. Man was to be originally created as a bit lower than the angels (Psalm 8:4-5, Hebrews 2:7-9), but with the potential to BE as Creator in a given time---a being higher than angels. Now---the real reason why all this is important goes to the Being of the Son, who is Christ/Yeshua: 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. {worship me: or, fall down before me} 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
The symmetry of the earth, and the Adamic creation, was intended to replicate the order of what is called heaven, which is a state of BEING---not a place in the physical sense. Even in the Bible, it is clear that the first state of creation was in balance. The earth was completely self-sustaining, with a perfect cycle of night and day; a balanced environment where the dew of the day provided a perfect atmosphere. Where no toil was required, and the creatures were able to be sustained by the fruits of the earth, itself. What occurred in the fall was not limited to the man and his female self, called Evethe earth also was brought into imbalance. Because the planet, a living entity, was in direct conscious correspondence to the human creation, a rebellion---a split---occurred within the ranks of nature. The other living creatures, and even the environment of the planet, itself, were imbalanced. Man was essentially thrown into a perpetual state of war with his own abode! The earth, as a living being, is part of a complete cycle of the living solar system, galaxies, universes, with multiple universes (multi-verse), all arrayed in the patterns of constellations. Moons take energy from, and orbit, planets; planets take energy from, and orbit suns; the suns, and their bodies take energy from, and move around the galactic center---all in a dance of great magnitude, beauty, and perfect order.
Galactic Center
By the way, it is interesting that we are now in that 25,000 year cycle called the precession of the equinox, when we are moving into the alignment of the galactic centerthe BALANCING of celestial energies. And how interesting that in this year of 2011, we have rediscovered the sacred feminine as a spiritual principleobscured by the Church for 2,000 years. This is prophetic, and part of what the Father wishes His True Children to learn. Each body, with its complementary opposite, exists within a balanced array; inside of a greater array. This works in both directions: if you examine matter at the molecular level, you will find the same patterns from the atom down to subatomic levels of nano-particles and quarks. This is where the mystical meets the scientific. These patterns are universal, and while entirely orderly in their functioning, are also uniquelook at the patterns of snowflakes as a fractal of the entire order of creation.

Mythological Construct
The original creature, named Adam or earth being, as portrayed in Genesis, is really a mythological composite of the first beings who came into the 3-dimensional realms of being. Mythology, by the way, is NOT fiction..it is a method of embedding coded material into a story which then travels through cultures and eras intact. It is intended to act upon the subconscious awareness by using types, shadows, symbols, and durable images as a data stream through time. As spirits, the beings pre-existed their incarnation (literally, into physical form), and are pictured as the Adam, a being comprised of both masculine and feminine nature. It was determined, according to Genesis, that Adam would best function in this dimension if his other type, the feminine, was likewise manifest as a complementary being: Genesis 2: 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Consciousness and Spiritual DNA
Again, the simplicity of this account excludes the details of what actually transpired from a more scientific viewthe term rib here, is likely not literal, but a metaphoric term for what we would today call gene-splicing, or cloningthere was, in fact, a genetic process that created, of Adams material, a replicant humanoid with the complementary nature of the feminine aspect---thus, to balance the human creation, and to provide for a now, selfreplicating species to populate the earth. The perfect plan, from the perspective of the Creator, is to propagate the Divine patterns of the constellationsearth to sunplanets to moonsmatter to anti-matterdarkness to lightyou get the picture. The governing forceif you will, the spiritual gravitywas the CONSCIOUSNESS of this new creation. The consciousness was a subset of the God-mindjust as there are lesser, and greater bodies in the heavens; so also, was man to be made as a lesser expression of the God-head. This is well expressed in 1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. Clearly, Creator intended for man to ascend over time (a condition of third dimensional limitation, alsotime is the 4th dimension, or what is seen as a domainit is not, of itself, a dimension, but is part of the other three dimensions of physical expression), towards an unlimited, spiritual race that would join HIM in the multiverses as a creative expression---a part
11
of the constellation that consists of the Godhead/Trinity, The Elohim, and the Angelic realms. Thus mans original consciousness was in unity with the Creators, and as well as with all the creation---man was created with a UNIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS.
I want to add that we do NOT hold the females universally responsible for this act, or any of the subsequent cycles of degeneration to the human creation. Up to the very moment when the Eve accepted the offer plied by the Shining One, the male and female were of ONE consciousness. In an analogical continuation, the OTHER, in his separation, blamed his own self for the consequences of this act of rebellion. Monolithic religions over the millennia have used this narrative to impugn, oppress, and humiliate the females of the human race, based on a mythological account. Judaism, Christianity, and certainly, now, women under Islamic Sharia Law, have been marginalized, disempowered, and murdered for a crime that was one of the greatest ploys ever perpetrated by the Shining Ones---themselves, fallen from their own estate in a great rebellion led by the Nacash. This leads into the events of Genesis and the corruption of the human seed.
12
One of the hallmarks of the coming age will be the re-unification of these now warring selves, and the restoration of the original destiny of the Adam---integration back to the estate of One-ness---male and female as truly ONE Creation---divine; and the humans who can return to that ONE-ness will be restored to their spiritual Be-ing-ness, and to the perpetual communion with the Creator.
The Blueprint
Jesus gave us a blueprint---one that was suppressed by the church for nearly 2,000 years---we find it in the Dead Sea scroll from Egypt: "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the kingdom]. Jesus said: I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one."- The Apostle Thomas-22-23 For this to happen we required a Savior---the only ONE who could give us the pattern BACK to the Father and Mother of us all---the True Son, who will banish---once and for all, the angelic rebellion, and rescue man from the curse of the fallen angelsmore about that in part 2--- of The Fall. I have posted a PDF transcript of this show, with the notes on the show page, download that and review these thingsthe truth is out thereits inside you.
Notes not used: Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Isaiah 56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
13
Adam and Eve, in fact, lost their original consciousness, and their nature was changed from Divine beings destined for immortality to nature of the Fallen Ones---the Watchers, or Nephillim. A key to the identity lies inside of a subtle, but generally overlooked passage in this same Isaiah passage:
14
