The United Garden Of Eden

By Lilia Moody


The United Garden of Eden refers to the idea of restoring world peace through respect and recognition of differences in opinion and behavior. The aim is to build a world that is harmonious, peaceful and tolerant like it existed when Adam and Eve lived. The genesis of the idea is that every person in the world has a voice and a right to be heard. Divergence in religious, social or cultural views should not cause division.

The platform brings together people of diverse world views, culture and ethnicity in an attempt to forge peaceful coexistence. This can only be achieved if people stopped judging and hating on others. Such hatred has been blamed for so many evils around the world. The groups advocates respect for personal choices regarding the kind of life any person wants to live. Wars and conflicts will be minimized when intolerance and judgment are eliminated.

The ideas that have informed this approach include a culture of greed and prejudice. Some communities continue to view others in negative light and as unworthy or lowly rated. This has led to an endless cycle of wars in different corners of the world. The most recent threat is the nuclear crisis that is fueled by intolerance. Any such conflict would be senseless and lead to immense destruction of property and loss of lives.

Some conflicts and human suffering are avoidable. They include artificial famine, abject poverty and ethnic crisis. They are not natural as many forums have suggested. They result from greed and inequitable sharing of resources. Selfish individuals are therefore responsible for property destruction and artificial human suffering.

The forum foresees a new future for humankind. It is referred to as the beginning of a new light where human beings can live together peacefully. This new era respects differences in religion, nationality, social status and ethnicity, among other social classifications. Respect is mutual such that no single person is considered superior to others by virtue of ethnicity or religion.

The process of return began on the Q-day when people symbolically went back to the Garden of Eden. Mormons have recorded this day as having been prophesied thousands of years back. The prophesy is contained in the literature of Mayans, the original inhabitants of America before European invasion. The return has no semblance with the predicted end of the world that was to take place on 21st December 2012.

Missouri is considered the site where Adam found refuge after expulsion from Eden. This is according to the literature of Mormons. They consider this land the New Jerusalem predicted in the bible. On this site, Adam gathered all his children and blessed them before his death. This gives the piece of land greater significance than any other in the world. It is the site where they will find peace.

The United Garden of Eden gained more significance after Adam gathered his seven generations to bless them before he died. The subject has been explored by successive Mormons presidents. They foresee a return by all the children of Adam who dispersed because of persecution. The earth will enjoy peace when the children gather again.
