Post #122 "Have We Sinned?"

What is evil? What is sin? Who calls the shots? Who ever determined evil from good and sin from holy? The answer is quite obvious....religion. Religion determined and determines evil and sin which also includes the counterparts, good and holy. So is religion reliable or are religions institutions institutions of power and power empires? Is religion what it says it is? Is religion needed to be 'saved' from our 'sins'? Do these attributes of humanity, sin and evil, exist or are we who we are? If the original sin is the division of Intelligence from Reality, than all else follows suit. In fact, who has ever defined what that Original Sin of religion, that we all need baptism to be saved from, really is? Is religion necessary if there is no sin? Actually not. Religion exists to save humanity from its sin and yet there seems to be the possibility that religion created sin and evil to give itself a purpose for existing.

Let's apply this consideration of the division of Intelligence from Reality, along with and to, the presence of violence in our present lives and throughout recorded history. It would seem, then, that there is a direct correlation here. It would seem to indicate that violence is the basic result of division, of separation, of the original division and resultant separation of Intelligence from Reality. How does a person react when they have suffered some kind of separation... some kind of division? This all certainly implies some sort of alienation. In division, someone will have to suffer alienation. As we all know, alienation is not pleasant and is harmful to varying degrees. We have all been affected. We have all experienced alienation and we all fear it in our lives from birth to death. As creation is a process of division, we are all caught up in this division. This division leads ultimately to our breaking down into pieces to our death as the breaking down and death of creation itself. So the question again. Have we sinned? Religion says we have. Religion says that it can save us from our sin.

Now let's get practical. We are people of violence. We are people of division. We are also game-players. We pretend we are doing what we are really not doing and pretend we are not doing what we really are doing. Remember, its all a choice. We are all caught up in and contribute to the collective consciousnesses but also choose through our individual consciousnesses. We join whatever in pretense to cover up that we are really massing against the masses. Here's an example..."let's form a team"!. A team for what but to stand against the commonality and in some way, defeat them?!!! Then we talk about love when we don't know a damn thing about love. We choose to love that we may divide down, often to just two. Two people against the world. Now, isn't this division? Isn't this separation?
