What is the Garden of Eden?

 The Bible is both literal and allegorical.  In Ezekiel 4, God has Prophet Ezekiel do some very literal things.  Prophet Ezekiel laid on his side for 390 days, and this was an allegory for the siege of Jerusalem.  We had something literal, Prophet Ezekiel laying on his side, that was representative of something, an allegory, that became a literal something, the siege of Jerusalem.  The Spiritual is layered like the Atmosphere.  On the ground level, there may be something literal.  Going up layers, we have allegories.  These allegories can come down again, and manifest as something literal.  Working to explain the Garden of Eden, there is something literal.  Also, working to explain the Garden of Eden, there may have been something allegorical or spiritual.  

Lets give another example.  God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.  Abraham, in obedience to God, he made an alter, and set his son on the alter, and raised his knife poised to strike. Abraham needed to be willing to sacrifice his son, his son who was a promise from God, Abraham needed to be willing to in his heart.  God stopped Abraham from actually doing it.   Abraham setting up to sacrifice Isaac, this was a literal event.  Abraham being obedient to God, it may have "Set" something in the Spiritual, in the atmosphere.  Later, God sent The Lord Jesus Christ, as his only begotten son, a sacrificial lamb for our sins.  Something was "Set" up in the principalities, the spiritual, it came down and manifested physically later. 

Daniel in Daniel 7, Daniel had a dream of beasts.  These beasts may have been entities in the spiritual or principalities.  Through Christian Tradition of men Seeing the Spiritual, and Spiritual Discernment, it may have been that the Beasts of Daniel 7 manifested in the character of certain Kingdom or Empires from time to time.  Something spiritual manifested and became literal. 

Talking about the Garden of Eden, it may not be wrong to say that the Garden of Eden is like the Island of Atlantis.  The Island of Atlantis was a place separate from other men and civilization.  All knowledge on the Island, it was under God.  All philosophical concepts and things, all dates, all symbols, they were being used as God created them in intelligent design.  This would be The Kingdom of God.  Sin entered the Island.  The Island sank.  

Was there a very literal Garden of Eden?  In understanding God, and the spiritual, yes, there was a very literal Garden, and it may have been much older than 6000 or so years old.

Around May 23, 2014, I had become aware that I could command angels.  I had authority.  Uriel, he may have had a duel purpose or nature where he could leave a man lost, or be a guiding light.  I worked to keep him in front of me.  I may have found The Spiritual Garden of Eden, and it manifested.
