If you ask biblical archeologists, they will say that we can not physically locate Eden today. We keep looking for a physical location out there somewhere but could it be right in front of us and we keep missing it? More accurately, could it be right inside of us undiscovered? The ancient Christian mystics said our soul is the garden of Eden and God's furious love comes in to fully posses us. Eden then is within us or as Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21).
Mystic Marriage is the place where God's Spirit touches our spirit and makes us one with God. The soul is the fertile ground of spiritual union and intimacy with God. Christians have wrongly concluded that when Jesus said people in heaven did not marry or were given in marriage, he was not saying as popular conventional church wisdom often does that there is no marriage in heaven (Luke 20:33-38). For those with spiritual eyes, everyone is married in heaven to Jesus. He is the bridegroom and we are His Bride. It's not that there is no marriage in heaven but heaven is all about being one big marriage banquet for the Lamb!
