The United Garden Of Eden

By Lilia Moody


The United Garden of Eden is a project of visionary people who seek to restore world peace by showing respect and recognizing divergent opinions in the world. The idea resulted from the realization that the world can achieve the peace that existed during the time of Adam and Eve if people were more tolerant and less judgmental. Every person deserves the opportunity to express his or her opinion without being victimized. Divergent social, cultural or religious views should not be breed division.

Bringing together cultures, societies and diverse people of the world is viewed as a sure way of fostering peace. The group insists that there should be no judgment or hatred. These are the foundations of hatred. Everyone should have the opportunity to choose the kind of life he or she wants to live. The absence of judgment and intolerance will minimize the incidences of war.

Widespread prejudice and greed are some of the ideas that the group seeks to eliminate. The negative light with which some communities view others is responsible for problems in the world. It has resulted in endless wars around the world. The new frontier is a nuclear crisis that is threatening to erupt. Such conflict would only result in property destruction and unwarranted deaths.

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 beginning of a new light is the slogan used to indicate an era of restoration. This is an opportunity for human beings to chat a new path towards a peaceful future. It is a society that is not divided on the basis of religion, nationality, social status or ethnicity. There is mutual respect with no community considering itself as superior. Everyone appreciates the intrinsic rights of existence and choice for the other person.

The group marked the return to the Garden of Eden on a day that was christened as the Q-day. This is an event that was prophesied thousands of years back. The prophesy about returning was made by the Mayans before Europeans settled in America. The return has no relationship with the end of the world as was predicted to happen in December 2012. It was an event to mark a restoration of the garden as it originally was.

The site of the new Garden of Eden is Missouri where Adam landed after he was thrown out of the original Eden. It also is the New Jerusalem as indicated in the bible. Adam is said to have gathered his descendants on the site before his death for the final blessings. These are the events that give the area greater significance for the Mormons. It will be the final place where world peace will reemerge.

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.
