WHAT IF THE 'GARDEN OF EDEN' REPRESENTS blissful ignorance? And eating the apple of knowledge represents our evolution of conscious thought?... And God didn't want that?
What if the Bible is just a story told to us by people that want to control us?
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
< Think about organized religion, particularly stories like that of Adam and Eve, and how they could function as a metaphorical tool deliberately created by leaders in power to suppress curiosity, instill fear, and maintain societal obedience and ignorance among the masses.
< Let's talk about a specific perspective of "The Human Condition," arguing that human suffering, alienation, and anger stem from an ancient conflict between moral, cooperative instincts (the "Heart") and the emergence of a conscious, questioning urge for knowledge (the "Mind"). This inner conflict leads to guilt and ego-centric behaviors, that have plagued the journey forward for mankind.
< If humanity accepted it's own creative powers and embraced it's inherent goodness - domineering societal power structures could collapse. The resolution proposed is acceptance and balance between the mind and the heart, and one that could bring about an evolutionary leap forward that humanity has been searching for.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davisβ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
