Reading Notes B: Adam and Eve

 Entering the Cave of Treasures from The Forgotten Books of Eden by Rutherford H. Platt Jr 

  • 5500 years before a savior. Would that make this 5500 BC then? 
  • Cherub guarding the gate to Eden with a fiery sword. 
  • Adam is a whiny bitch. 

The Beasts of the Creation from The Forgotten Books of Eden by Rutherford H. Platt Jr
  • If all beasts were created by God and named by Adam, and ordered by God to not harm Adam and Eve, why do bears, cougars and wolves attack? 
  • Adam and Eve lost the ability to see God and angels after they ate of the tree of life. They are told this is because is because of their sin. Is that why children are more likely to see angels and ghosts, because they have not yet closed themselves off through sin? 
Worship and Blessing from The Forgotten Books fo Eden by Rutherford H Platt Jr
  • alter prayers - offer their own blood
  • God's promise to return the gifts from the offer with his own flesh and blood
  • God forbid Adam's continuous suicide attempts. Maybe that's why it is a sin. 
If I am being honest, these notes are less thinking like a writer and more questions of theology. Much of this information subtly differs from what I remember from catechism.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming   Possible Storybook Topics Michigan Myths or at least Myths set in Michigan Michigan is my home. It is an amazing place, shaped like a mitten with 5 Great Lakes. I would suspect that there are creation stories about those things. In my browsing, I found an article called Mysterious Michigan Myths and Urban Legends . It lists stories of a Dogman, The Higgins Lake Monster and the Crying Woman of Indian Village. Some of these are repeated on the Pure Michigan site as well. I even found an article of 14 Michigan Monster Myths on MLive . It might be fun to flesh out the stories, add dialog and create some campfire stories of my own.  Other possible source Myths of the Great Lakes Michigan Legends Creepy Stories and Urban Legends of Michigan Random Thought: How fun would it be to write a collection of myths from all 50 states?  German Fairy Tales My husband was stationed in Germany for four years.

Feedback Thoughts

Image
For this assignment we were asked to read some articles about feedback and then write down our thoughts. I chose to read one article from each of the recommended sections. The results are as follows: To err is human – and a powerful prelude to learning Americans like to refer to the people who lived through and served in WW2 as the greatest generation. This may be because they struggled, learned from what was happening and then conquered. According to this article, this is the strategy we should be teaching our children in school. As both a higher education student and a parent, I tend to agree with this assessment. We have raised a generation of children who don't know how to struggle, and need safe spaces when things don't go their way. Parents go to schools and complain about teachers who give bad grades. No one is holding the children responsible for learning from failures. This stops our brains from experiencing memory reconsolidation, where we mentally correct ourselves a...

Storytelling3: Lilith's Point of View

Image
 This story is inspired by the story of Lilith written by Louis Ginzberg, from The Legend of the Jews. In the original version, you learn that Lilith was Adams first wife, but he sent her away because she would not submit to his will. This is her side of the story.  Lilith's Point of View "Hello. Welcome to my barren desert. I am Lilith, first wife of Adam. I was cast out of the garden of Eden for far lesser crimes than eating from the tree of knowledge. Yet my punishment is far more severe. Would you like to hear my story? " The dark haired woman in front of you is willowy and pale. She seems almost delicate, but there is a strength in her eyes that hints at something more. You nod you head and choose to listen.  "If you've read the bible, you know that there are two stories about human creation. One states that both a man and woman were formed from dust in God's image. The other talks about the woman coming from Adam's rib. Both stories are true, but Ad...
