The fall from Eden is our descent into duality. It speaks of a time when we started to label and define things as seperate from us. The begining of objective reality. So then, the Secret is trying to point out the same thing all religions try to point out - that we aren't really seperate and our own way of being effects more than we normally think as ones that have fallen from Eden.

Interpretations of religions can be way off and used to benifit power hungery people, the abuse of religion is what is difficult, the extremists.
