what is the significance of...

what is the significance of the story of genesis in regards to the garden of edan and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the the ensuing events?

It's a story of innocence lost. When one eats of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, one gains understanding of good, but one cannot know good without having seen evil. Until that point, the two living in the garden had no idea evil was conceptually possible, and couldn't commit it--they simply did what they do. But there comes a time in everyone's life when that knowledge is gained, the knowledge of both the heights and depths of human behavior. And once that door is opened, it can never be closed again. We will forever live knowing the evil that men can do.

...but what do i know?

why do they hide?
theyve done no real evil
why are they ashamed of their nakedness?
what does this signify?
didnt they even know they were naked before eating of the tree of knowledge ect?

Nakedness could signify a level of vulnerability and fear. Adam knew the consequences of the behavior and even though he cannot (really) hide from God, that doesn't stop he and Eve from trying.

This is the second time today I'm going to do this...

I like it as a metaphor for chakra's (three wise men = yogi's) but I've got three feet in the Eastern Studies part of the forum so shouldn't post my heresy here in Abrahamic
