We cannot process knowledge without coming into it first. Upon consuming the apple of Eden, Adam and Eve awoke to their humanity and sentience. Only then were they able to make the decision, but it was far too late. Our very existence is evidence that self awareness and the existentialist truths that accompany it is inevitable. The universe exists and we know it because we are it.
Biting into the apple is a fun hypothetical but in reality it is an inevitable process in a predetermined sequence of events-- one which we are only aware of and able to control by the time it has run it's course. The apple of Eden is a time, not a place-- much like the singularity of a black hole. Then we pass through the hole in spacetime to find ourselves in a place and through time. We have already passed over into consciousness.
I consider myself to be an existentialist. I believe humans are born blank slates and upon events that we cannot control and then choices that we can-- we are formed. I search for my meaning and I believe my meaning is the search for I am a mystic. Everyone's own enlightenment is different and paths cannot be shared. Like many people on this site have said time and time again we cannot give the answers because they are individual, and giving it away would be a cheat-- a false cheat that doesn't even work. Meaning will be found when the time comes and rushing it will do no good. That is why this site is the journey and not the solution.
(Keep doubting *bang!*)
