Das Energi
The only sin is self-hatred.
It is the act of negation.
Its opposite is faith.
There is no such thing as evil.
The concept of evil is a crutch.
We will not heal until we toss away the crutch.
To heal is to become healthier.
To become healthier is to enjoy a freer flow of energy.
It is the flow of energy that gets us high.
To perceive something as "evil" is to imagine that
that object, that person, is not a part of me.
He's something else.
To perceive "evil" is to attempt to deny
that we are all one.
We have a myth that relates to this.
The myth of God and Satan.
The fallen angel, Lucifer -
cast out of Heaven for disobeying God -
God who is good, Lucifer who is not-good.
Not-God.  Evil.
But who is God trying to kid?
God is All.  There is nothing that is not God.
Lucifer is God.
There is no distance.
One cannot fall from grace.
One can pretend, perhaps, that that brother over yonder
is not me, he is something else, he is everything
of myself that I cast out of myself - one can pretend.
But not for long.
There is no way to cast out any part of one's self.
Systems of energy contain no garbage.  There is
no such thing as garbage.
Dear God, the jig is up.
Stop chasing your tail.  Embrace your Self.
Lucifer returns to Heaven!
Let there be dancing in the streets.
The only sin is self-hatred.
We call it sin but its true name is Delusion.
We have got to get ourselves back to the Garden.
Easily done.
We are in the Garden.
Let us open our eyes.
