Eden's Gift: A spiritual parable for a modern age

‘Eden’s Gift’ is an inspiring story of Aisha and her lover Darius striving with every good intention to live and achieve their best but in the process forgetting that true love is unconditional.

The story is written in the style of an ancient parable (a simple story illustrating an important principle). It is about the joy and freedom that is possible to achieve when we embrace the transforming power of unconditional love for ourselves and for others. That life is not about striving to be 'good enough' but about the far more challenging goal of becoming aware that we already are unconditionally valid beings, that this is the greatest gift we have to share with each other and that we forget this to our peril.

The story shows how self-belief can be shaken by life experiences and the consequences of losing that steady ground beneath our feet. It demonstrates that, one way or another, any individual’s lack of belief in self can cause much chaos not only in their own lives but in the lives of those around them. Eden’s Gift highlights the importance of finding a path back to truly knowing and empowering self. It is a small story, with big impact.
