In Nugget #21 we should be asking at least one of many questions. We should ask, “Why is the world in such sad shape? Why are there environmental issues, humanitarian issues and so forth?”
When creation was completed it was created with Elohim in a proper state and an improper state. “Elohim” is in harmony and chaos at the same time. Remember Nugget #18 spoke about “YHVH” as a proper state of “Elohim”.
In the Garden man “fell” by tasting the fruit in the wrong order (this can be a future discussion). Some feel this was a horrible situation that should not have happened. But the original interpretation tells us this was necessary. It had to occur in order for us to plunge from order into chaos so that through our efforts we would bring order from the chaos.
Creation was started and sustained so that we would have a “work” to do, that work being correcting the chaos through our correction. We are coworkers with the Creator to correct the chaotic part of creation.
Contemplate this for now before we move on. Reread the “Garden of Eden” story and look for clues that support the original interpretation.
