The dream of paradise

After the expulsion from paradise, the rabbis are safe: Paradise is finally closed for the majority of people.

All others are dreams: Dreams of wonderful plants that feed all without human labor. Dreams from the land flowing with milk and honey. Dreams of four pure rivers that flow through the country. Dreams of gold, ore and precious stones in abundance. Dreams of the mysterious number seven, which arranges everything like the days of the week.

Even paradise by Ursula Dethleffs is limited. The myths seem to, but they remain in-comprehensible as the dream. The Seven is like a secret order to the paradise.
