Beyond the Gravity of Eden: An Escape from The Beautiful Sand Where We Began

«“So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden.”

— Genesis 3:23»

«“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”

— Carl Sagan, Cosmos»

«“For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven’t forgotten. The open road still softly calls.”

— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot»

The force of gravity keeps Earth alive because Jupiter pulls asteroids otherwise meant for Earth into its orbit, crashing into its gaseous void. Gravity in physics also keeps us trapped on Earth. Gravity in metaphysics keeps the region of the birth of modern AD man a region of death for those who cannot escape it.

Humanity's greatest progress has happened for those who can escape the orbit of the death of the sand that sucks us in, in far-off lands, with escape velocity freeing mankind from its deathly void in wooden ships that sailed the Earth looking for new lands to start life far away. Gravity too intense allows life to never begin, as it struggles to thrive in the Middle East, where it remains strongest near the birth of humanity. Gravity too strong crushes life and prevents it from flourishing, in both physics and metaphysics. That is what I now see. Humanity must escape Earth, just as the progress of man required us to escape the intensity of where it all began in the center with all its beautiful sand.
