There are countless ways to look at Genesis, but a couple of questions keep coming up that are based on a lot of assumptions, like:
How can God punish Adam and Eve for eating the fruit when before eating it they couldn't even know what good and evil is?
Here's a way to look at it that resolves this apparent problem:
Eating the fruit meant that instead of obeying (good) they chose not obeying (evil) and they did so while being very aware of the difference.
The fruit didn't make them able to know the difference between good and evil, it made them decide themselves what is good and what is evil.
"Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil"
But what does "know" mean here exactly? God doesn't "know" good and evil in the common sense of the word. He DECIDES what is good and what is evil.
But what happens when humans decide what is good and what is evil, instead of accepting good and evil as given by God?
Well, we know that all too well... when we decide what is good and what is evil, we declare everything we do as good and everything others do as evil, if we don't like it.
Even the exact same action is good when we do it and evil if others do it.
And that is exactly the difference between the soul and the mind:
The soul obeys the morality given by God, the mind creates its own, self-serving pseudo morality.
So, one way to read Genesis is as a warning about what happens when we allow the mind to become the arbiter of good and evil.
