If Eden is on earth,
- where is it?
- And why is it there?

OK...here's my answer, see what you think. In my opinion...Yes. Eden is on earth. It does not exist as a "place"...but as a sanctuary of souls. I see it as a metaphor for that confusing place that exists within us all. It offers up pleasure and pain in equal proportions. It is up to the individual to decide what their "Eden" is...just as it is up to each of us to decide how to "house" our souls. It exists to teach us "beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence." "If that which you seek...you find not within yourself...you will never find it without."


Eden is where destiny and yearning intersect.


i think Eden is the place that alot of people have been searching for. It is that island that sunk long ago (can't remember the name right now). But it was an actual place at one time so it had to have gone somewhere!


To me, Love equals Eden/Paradise. When there is love between people, that is where Eden is found. When there is joy and gladness in a heart then, that is where Paradise can be found. When there is awe and appreciation of the world around you then, that is where Eden can be found. It lies within all of us.


I don't think there is an eden ..but maybe I'm wrong..


Eden is on earth but it's not just one place..it's all around...it's listening to a recording of Maria Callas' voice, it's the autumn sunlight in Australia, it's that perfect moment in a perfect day when you look into your lover's eyes, it's the soft sounds of the ocean when you wake in the morning. Eden is here because without it we have no soul.


If eden was on earth it would be in Texas because that is where my [lady love] lives (the love of my life) and that's where I am moving to be next to her.


Eden is in the islands off western british columbia, in the temperate rain forest. it is there because we aren't


Maybe Eden is where you are most happy and things are most beautiful for you. That would mean it is different for everyone.


Eden is indeed on Earth, it is in our hearts, it is in the truth and joy that we seek throughout this thing called life... it is here for us to grow, to love, to feel, to be enlightened, so we can evolve into higher spiritual beings...


Eden is in central florida at [my lady love's] house


"East of the mississippi" don't know, something about better fishin . Think the sun hits us first!


Eden is in my heart, when my partner looks at me.. See how mushy I am..


Eden is where ever I am because Eden is within me. It is the safest place that exists.


Eden is my darling's heart simply, coz I only can be so pure and true in her heart.


Yes, Eden is here next to me, always part of my heart, comsuming every fiber of my world.


The lovely island of Maui, just lay on the beaches, surf the waves, or scuba dive the reefs- I'm sure you'll agree. The road to Hana is green and powerful, the people are friendly. If it wasn't for the industriation- it would still be heaven.


Eden is a frame of mind......it is that unknown "reward" for a life well spent. It is the thought that keeps us going.


I really do not know


Eden is in your heart and thoughts. U can be sitting in the center of the city dump and happy if you want to. It is inside your self cause you must search for it and learn the lesson.


It would be Jamaica or Africa, some island or continent along those lines.


My best friend ... always says that when you hear a song, or a strain of music, that seems to echo deep inside you, then that's a piece of Eden.


in a little B&B&B&D in England in the Dungeon under my Master's absolute care. It's Eden because it's home.


Eden's around us all and inside us all- we just have to look around us, at the world and all the things and people in it to experience it.


Eden is a place in Utah......at least that is what the sign said!...LOL!.........Not too sure why exactly!


Eden is in my lover's arms...this is true for me because ours is a long distance relationship which we must work hard for. when we are financially able to see one another, the time we share is pure and true...i could go on, but i think that is my nutshell response


Anywhere that allows me to be peaceful within...it may be with friends, or working out, at home, or at play.


I think Eden must be near Columbus, OH. :-)


Eden on Earth is somewhere in the deserted mountains of western Colorado. I have spent only 36 hours of my 17 years in Colorado but from the moment I stepped off the airplane in Denver something just called out to me - home. It was a strange feeling to find something I never knew I was looking for. I have never forgotten the morning my dad and I drove up into the mountains before dawn and watched the sun rise over the plateau of Denver in the distance. To our backs the wild Rockies radiated a sense of peace I had never felt before. Every morning as I walk into school, I see in my mind's eye the mental pictures I took that morning and I know deep within myself that one day I will return home and never have to leave.


Eden is in our hearts. we make our destiny. the goddess allows for this. it is in our minds eye. in our souls. the higher power works miracles. believe in a miracle. one must believe in a miracle.


Gotta be Hawaii cause they have such perfect weather!


I live in Eden with my sweet Lil' [lady love]. She has made my life a paradise! God truly outdid Himself when He gave me the opportunity to be with her!!!


Eden is anywhere my love is


Yes, i believe eden is right here inside of us all - in our souls and in our minds. it's always there - and colours what we see and influences the way we live. when we extend this to our immediate environment, we can revel in it and let go of the need to believe that eden is in another space and time. if we believe in the balance of nature - and that we are a part of nature, then eden must be here to balance out the demons that we also have to live with.
