“Each one has become his own universe in terms of Genesis 3:5 “Ye shall be as God, every man his own god knowing, (which means determining for yourself in the Hebrew) good and evil.” So that every man becomes his own law, and his own law-giver, and his own universe, so he is eternally cooped up in his own being; this is the logic of Genesis 3:5 as it comes to its end.”
