Gnosis We’re Now Looking Down

“And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
—Genesis 2: 16-17

C.S. Lewis once observed: "A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

“The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.
Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”
—Proverbs 16: 17-18

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.”
—Proverbs 3: 5-7
