In this thread I will attempt to give an account of what the fall of man is as it relates to original sin. This will require some understanding of the Hebrew letters as the account can only be understood/appreciated in this way.
First and foremost we must understand what Adam actually is. The name is written with aleph-dalet-mem (adm). Here is a brief summary of what each letter represents:
Aleph denotes spirit/breath and is the 1st Hebrew letter.
Dalet denotes a door(way) and is the 4th Hebrew letter.
Mem denotes water and is the 13th Hebrew letter.
The Hebrew letter mem has two forms: normal (open) and final (closed) which correspond to the two states water can be in: moving (river) [superior] and/or stationary (body of water) [inferior]. Because Adam ends with final mem, the water that is being referred to is stationary.
Dalet and mem, when combined, produces the word 'dam' which means 'blood.
As such, Adam is a combination of breath (aleph), a doorway (dalet), and gathered water (mem-final): the former two yielding 'blood'. In essence, we can reduce this to 'breath'+'blood'.
So Adam literally means 'one that breathes' and 'one that circulates blood'. Essentially, it is any being (male or female) which is precisely why the primordial Adam was made both masculine and feminine prior to the separation of sexes.
With this, and (hopefully) understanding that this account is not literal: it is mythological/mystical, we can proceed. If there are any individuals that take this story literally... no offense, but with all due respect we are reading mythology here.
The separation of sexes describes the relationship the brain has (aleph/air) with the sex (mem/water) and thus we derive the relationship between Adam and Eve:
ADAM: Brain (positive principle)
EVE: Sex (negative principle)
The dalet, being a door, is the first letter in the Hebrew word for 'knowledge' which is da'at. This da'at is represented in the biblical account as being one of two trees planted in the garden of Eden whose fruits yield knowledge of 'good and evil'.
As we know from the account, the "Lord GOD" (Heb. YHVH Elohim) warned Adam (brain) that by eating the "fruits" of the tree of knowledge of 'good and evil', he will surely die. Later, we read that a serpent tells Eve (sex) that she will not surely die, but GOD knows that if she eats from the tree, she will become like GOD: knowing 'good and evil'.
I have placed emphasis on 'like' because it is important to note that the serpent is not suggesting Adam/Eve will become god itself, a god(s) etc. but 'like' god which, as is described in the text, is knowing 'good and evil'. Essentially this knowledge (da'at) of 'good and evil' is the only principle thing separating Adam/Eve (human nature) and Elohim (godly nature) which are immortal. The question becomes: who is right/wrong between GOD and the serpent?
We must understand that GOD warned Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of 'good and evil' prior to the serpent entering the scene. As such, to label the serpent as inherently and/or intrinsically 'evil' (in any manner of ways including assuming the serpent to be Satan in disguise with intention to deceive Eve) is failing to follow the instruction of GOD. The serpent must be treated as a neutral agent: neither good nor evil.
This is important because the serpent represents Lucifer. Lucifer (literally: light/fire and/or carrier of light) is not inherently and/or intrinsically evil nor good. It represents the raw sexual energy (vitality) in a mixed state.
If this sexual energy is abused (explanation to follow) such that it manifests as evil/impurity (Heb. "ra") then "Lucifer" falls and becomes "Satan": the adversary to GOD. This is in accordance to GOD's warning which manifests death.
If this sexual energy is protected (explanation to follow) such that it manifests as good/purity (Heb. "tov") then "Lucifer" rises and becomes "like god": knowing 'good and evil' This is in accordance to the serpent's suggestion which manifests immortality.
As such, both GOD and the serpent are correct: the problem is choice. The choice is represented by "problem" of 'good and evil' and whether or not one has the ability to derive knowledge (da'at; gnosis) from the interaction of these polarities. This is where abuse/protection of the sexually energy comes in.
Fundamentally, the sexual energy, when preserved (abstinence from ejaculation) generates an upward coil which begins in/from the sex and reaches the brain. This energy (traditionally known as 'kundalini') is precisely what the serpent represents: the kundalini energy which has the capability of traveling up the spine to nourish the brain (Eve [sex] gives the fruit to Adam [brain]) and their eyes are opened.
However, the sexually energy, when ejaculated (fornication) generates an inverse coil which likewise begins in/from the sex and produces a 'fall'. This fall is unique to each individual, because each individual is their own Adam (again Adam simply means one who is breathing and circulating blood). Esoterically this has been described as growing a "tail of Satan": the accumulation of "fall" a person has.
When the brain (Adam) becomes identified with the sensations (fruits) of the orgasm such that the brain is essentially hijacked by the desire/lust for sex, this manifests 'evil' as is the basis for not only the fall, but animal degeneration which leads to the "path of destruction".
It essence, conclusion and synthesis:
There is/was no historical Adam upon whom to attribute the 'original sin'. Each individual being is the carrier of his/her own 'fall' which directly correlates to his/her own sexual activity as it relates to the protection/abuse (good/evil) of his/her own sexual energy.
When the brain (Adam) has complete control over the sex (Eve), this produces GOOD (tov).
When the sex (Eve) has complete control over the Brain (Adam), this produces EVIL (ra).
When the former is true, one becomes "like" GOD: knowing good and evil which leads to immortality.
When the latter is true, one becomes "like" SATAN: in a fallen state which leads to suffering/death.
Christ is represented by chastity (archetypal Jesus).
Anti-Christ is represented by fornication (archetypal Muhammad).
This "problem" is the basis for the symbol of Jesus being depicted as flanked on either side by a virgin and a whore. In like manner, each individual (owing to free will) has the ability to choose between good and evil. This "choice" is also reflected in the two forms that mem (water) can take: superior and inferior and relates to both the second day of creation (GOD divides the waters from the waters) and Moses' parting of the Red Sea with his staff (spine of the body).
The real meaning, then, of "baptism" is just this: learning to work with ones own "waters" (sex). Jesus turning water into wine represents the purification of the water (chastity) and also reflects the ability to "walk on water": a symbol of mastery over ones own sexuality. The ceremony of baptism wherein a child has water poured over their head is just a symbol and doesn't actually do anything: real baptism is an internal undertaking.
