Perfume - Eve exhaled an exquisite scent in Paradise

05/31/2024

If men and women lived more sensible, intelligent and purer lives they would become like flowers, for the skin is able to distil a fragrance similar to that of certain flowers that grow only in the mountains.* Long, long ago the first man and woman possessed this scent, particularly Eve, which is why the plants knew and loved her. She communicated with the whole vegetable kingdom, and in Paradise, in the Garden of Eden, no flower exhaled a more exquisite scent than that of Eve. After the original sin – which was a descent into the denser regions of matter – Eve lost her ability to distil this perfume, and the flowers no longer recognized her. For flowers are pure and chaste. They have no astral desires, and when they saw how Eve had sinned, they stopped sharing their virtues with her. It is because women still have the subconscious memory of their former condition in Paradise that they feel the need to wear perfume. They should know that even now they could still recover that scent if they regained their original state of purity through pure food, pure feelings and pure thoughts.
