I started reading the bible a bit and my interpretation is that eve was tempted by fear in the snake and decided that the snake was bad eating the fruit of knowledge between good and bad. By thinking or understanding that something is bad we create a split in the mind and the sense of self is created as a separation from god consciousness were everything is good. And our entire lives we say this is good this is bad and the sense of self becomes bigger and bigger. Until the things we find bad outweigh the things we find good and collapse can happen. From my understanding its possible to destroy the self identity by thinking or understanding that everything is good again.
