One important thing to note with regard to my understanding of this is that as beings of such complexity this is where the whole aspect of balancing comes in.
balance is the key!
the teachings are there to point to us the reason for them. that there is a direction and purpose that evolves beyond the temporary aspects of this process in which we take part.
that done, and knowing our goal to become divine higher beings, we must now balance the acts of living, appreciating and enjoying life with leaving it to evolve into higher aspects of the creation.
With regard to Monica's note about the Fall. That is viewed in different ways among the religions. some say the Fall merely represents the Infinite Spirit entering into creation, or the creation of matter.
And there is also two types of human entities here on earth, the human that has evolved through the process of evoltuion from second density into third, AND the descendants of those interactions with higher beings that are said to have taken place in our ancient past, as well as some higher beings that came here through their own abilities.
The human is a very complex being. But none of the teachings suggest that it is wrong to enjoy life or the beauty of creation. They always suggest that getting back to nature is the best way to apprecaite our true identities as temporary, because we then see ourselves as a part of something far greater than mere flesh.
lets not forget that what we are escaping is not creation or its beauty. What we are escaping is being trapped in a cessation of our natural design because we are choosing to forget our true nature and design. In that lapse, we are NOT reaching the higher potentials of this wonderful beautiful creation that we are designed to explore.
In short we are stuck on one small island and experiencing only that, when there is an entire ocean of other experiences all around us, if we could find the way to get off of this island to explore the many other wonderful things that exists out there. We have a universe awaiting us. and we are stuck here, unaware of our options and what else is out there.
