Babylon is the Biblical Garden of Eden.
Between the Tigress & Euphrates rivers, that flow through a barren desert, sprung the seed of human civilisation.
The rivers of Babylon provide water for the earth.
Human life provides the fire that springs from the water of earth.
To complete the Garden of Eden as a heavenly existence requires the air of Spirit.
With water, fire & air, earth is complete heaven.
Air is the spirit of Man that creates an oasis in the desert.
It is the evolution of Man’s spirit that survived the desert and found safety & comfort in the Oasis of Babylon.
Safety & security provide a comfort zone that is a boundary to further spiritual development.
The evolution of the spirit requires a journey, beyond the safety & comfort of Babylon, that returns to the desert.
Our human origins are in Babylon the cradle of civilisation.
Our spiritual origins are to be found in the desert.
In the desert I will find Avalon.
