Art of the Gnostic Gospels

Eve enters the Tree of Knowledge

…Eve, since she existed as a power, laughed at their false intention. She darkened their eyes and left her likeness there stealthily beside Adam. She entered the Tree of Knowledge, and remained there. But they tried to follow her. She revealed to them that she had entered the tree and become tree. And when the blind ones fell into a great fear, they ran away."

(On the Origin of the World, from Willis Barnstone’s The Other Bible, p. 70, pub. A.D. 1984)
