As far as I recall Adam and Eve ate fruits from the tree of knowledge of good 
and evil and were expelled from paradise and forced to establish or found 
human civilization in order to keep them away from the tree of live - of 
which up to then nothing had been said. On top of it the creator ordered a 
troop of cherubims with swords to guard the entrance to garden and tree 
(1, Mose 3,20+). 
Amazing: throwing a tiny pill  gets you through before you even realize.
What's wrong with the creator and the cherubims ?

But time is also snatched with every breath you take.

Is this the first introduction of "the realm of the shears that do not cut" ?

EJ comes to think of demons and phantoms because they populate the outskirts 
of reality, and advises to step further and put them in a bottle. It's also a 
bit of the hitchhikers guide to whatever is out there.
