filling in the blanks in the Bible

After the Fall, Adam blamed Eve for being expelled from Eden, so he dumped
her. Or more precisely he "cast her out." No one will ever know whether it
happened the same instant as the Fall physically manifested, or whether Adam
and Eve first built a house and a farm and lived together for a time, or
whether Adam kept dumping Eve and then taking her back until she got sick
and tired of it. In any case, once she was cast out for the last time, Eve
changed her name, and that name is lost to memory. For my own reasons I'll
call her Rika. And then God, seeing that Adam needed a new wife, created a
second Eve from the soil of the Earth. She was the one who bore Adam his two
sons. I'll call her Eve.

Both Rika and Eve were women, but Rika was not built to be fertile, as
fertility in Eden was not necessary. Her natural barenness might have been
part of the reason why God arranged for Adam to dump her, because in the
world after the Fall children were suddenly needed. So Rika and Eve's
attitudes toward reproduction were markedly different from the first and
only grew greater as the struggle for supremacy between them escalated into
the world we know today. Even in the most superficially patriarchal
societies it is the residue of tension between these two antipodal women
that has shaped human life and even human reality.

For Adam, as for all men since, sex was a compulsion. A man doesn't have sex
because it's "fun" but because he feels compelled to copulate and ejaculate.
Eve had a similar compulsion to conceive, gestate, and give birth. Those two
processes are analogous. Men have orgasms and women have organisms. But Eve
still had to have sex, and for her it was just something Adam needed from
her that, unfortunately, led her to endanger her life with pregnancy, which
was something that she was both instinctively compelled to do and frightened
by. Eve and later women made peace with it by creating recreational sex,
which has historically been most sought by women past their prime
childbearing years (see "cougar"). So sex for fun is a female invention
because, once birth control is implemented, sex _is_ pure fun for a woman.
For a man it still remains a compulsion, and women being every bit as smart
as men, it is a means by which men can be controlled. From the time Adam and
Eve's sons reached early adolescence the penis has been a handle by which a
man is led, the same way a bull is managed by his nose ring. There are few
things more deeply established in all societies than the Pia Fraus that men
enjoy sex, when in fact men are compelled to engage in it by our instincts.
It is always what _women have done to other women_ that has caused female
misery because women have always ruled the world through this Pia Fraus and
always will. Even a man who knows the truth can't fight his own nature. He
will always abuse a woman of lesser power at the bidding of a woman of
greater power.

While Eve was made from the fertile soil of the earth, Rika was made from
Adam's rib. It hurt her more bitterly than we can imagine that the flesh of
her flesh had cast her out. (Which is something Eve could have coped with
easily once her sons were full grown and could take care of her and she no
longer needed Adam to sire them.) But the most important difference between
Rika and Eve was their mortality profile. Eve was made to be mortal and to
achieve vicarious immortality through reproduction. Rika, like Adam, had
been made to be ageless and, like him, was suddenly mortal. While Adam could
balm the loss of his agelessness through siring children (and note the huge
difference between how Adam and Eve related to reproduction) Rika needed to
do it some other way. So, with the assistance of the devil, she learned to
transfer her soul to the body of a young girl when her current body's time
to die arrived. This was the origin of transmigration, which some
descendants of Eve also eventually began practising. (The "Randi" issue of
transmigration will forever remain irresolvable because some souls
transmigrate and some don't.)

It was Rika who initiated the practise of exposure, where an undesirable
infant is left in the wilderness to die. As Rika sought to transmigrate only
to girl children, this required the establishment of patriarchy, where girls
could not inherit and were more likely to be exposed. I am not clear on how
the devil got involved in the whole shebang, but the practice of exposure
expanded to the exposure of infants of both sexes that were clearly born
demonically possessed or as incarnations of the devil. In societies where
exposure was largely discontinued demon-children have been permitted to
reach adulthood. I was one of them, as the demon Tolkai committed many of
the atrocities of this body's youth until he was persuaded to depart and I
ended up caretaking this body until its physical death. (Please, no tiresome
questions; I have no idea who I am because I don't _need_ to know it during
this lifetime. My place in the world is highly straightforward and my role
in life extremely limited.)

Rika continued to transmigrate until she perfected cloning. Since then she
has somehow managed to operate likely thousands of bodies of various ages
simultaneously. At some point, for reasons I'm not clear on, God also made
himself a Person and now walks the earth like any other man who is simply
able to do anything at all he wishes. That is where my understanding of the
situation stops, and that's all I'm able to tell you.
