The Maroccan Mirror Story
In the train I meet someone coming from Morocco who tells me a strange story about how certain desert tribes see original sin.
Eve was strolling in the Garden of Eden when the serpent came up to her.
“Eat this apple”, said the serpent.
Very well instructed by God, Eve refused.
“Eat this apple”, insisted the serpent,” because you have to make yourself more beautiful for your man”.
“I don’t have to”, answered Eve. “Because he has no other woman but me”.
The serpent laughed: “Of course he does”.
And since Eve did not believe him, he led her to the top of a hill, where there was a well.
“She is inside this cave; Adam hid her there”.
Eve leaned over and saw a beautiful woman reflected in the water of the well. Immediately she ate the apple that the serpent offered her.
According to this same Moroccan tribe, all those who recognize themselves in the reflection of the well and are no longer afraid of themselves, return to Paradise.
