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.

Humanity is witnessing wars and suffering because some people are greedy and highly prejudicial against others. Some communities consider themselves superior. Such an attitude leads to cycles of war that are increasing by the day. Nuclear technology has opened another frontier that is likely to escalate conflict. The end result can only be death and destruction of property.

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.

Human beings have an opportunity to build a new future in what is known as the beginning of a new light. The world will get peace as societies exist in harmony. Differences in nationality, religion, ethnicity or social status will no longer divide populations. It is an era of mutual respect with no superiority based on social classifications. There is respect and appreciation of intrinsic rights to belief and exist.

A day referred to as Q-day witnessed the symbolic return to the Garden of Eden. According to Mormons, the day and its events were prophesied and directed thousands of years ago. It is contained in prophesies of Mayans, the people who inhabited America before Europeans arrived. Leaders of the movement insist that there is no relationship between the predicted end of the world on December of 2012. The event marked a symbolic restoration of the original Garden of Eden.

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.
