“The Garden of Earthly Delights” (more detail) by Hieronymus Bosch
We now arrive at what scholars used to believe (before GNAY or B.G.) was panel one, and we now know is actually panel three. Conventional analysis will tell you this is God presenting Eve to Adam. In my analysis this final panel depicts Nirvana or the awakened state. Conclusion: this painting is not a Christian manifesto on living a virtuous life, or risk ending up in hell. Bosch was actually a left handed, mirror reading, gay Buddhist midget, and this painting when, read as intended, is his roadmap to a happy and fulfilled life. This revelation is bigger than The Da Vinci Code! Big Church won’t be happy and will probably suppress this information, or me.
