Dual forms of existence

We note two modes of existence, that which approaches idyllic nature of Adam's bliss, or that which is seen in excellent movies, where actor's moves is remarkably attention grabbing, and that of the hell on earth. The other mode of existence is various forms of hell.

If one takes time and analyzes his or her own actions, one will note his own views and work leads to one or the other.

Adam was told not to eat the fruit but ate it any way. This explains the fall. In ordinary life something in us tells us not to browse the web at this time nor watch that movie and so on. Failing to follow our own best judgment, reincarnates Adam's fall from the bliss. One existence ends, another one starts.

Something in us may also tell us to do this or that. If we do, or at least take more experimental approach, we have a chance of remaining in bliss or its varieties here on planet earth.

Adam's story, In the Quranic version, entertains the possibility of guidance coming to Adam and those who came after him to pass, Should they follow this guidance, it promises, they will not be lost nor will they be defeated. Collective guidance is also available for those who entertain relevant scriptures. Some people believe not all or some scriptures, that is their choice for better or for worse. Here we are concerned only those who chose to secure some clues from sacred literature.
