"Ego is no more than this: identification with form, which primarily means thought forms. If evil has any reality - and it has a relative, not absolute, reality - this is also it's definition: complete identification with form - physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms. This results in a total unawareness of my connectedness with the whole, my intrinsic oneness with every "other" as well as with the Source. This forgetfulness is original sin, suffering, delusion. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say and do, what kind of world do I create? To find the answer to this, observe how humans relate to each other, read a history book, or watch the news on television tonight".

~Ekhart Tolle, A New Earth

On further reflection......

What if this isn't a "sin"?

Descartes wrote "I think, therefore I am".
But I often wonder if it is "I desire, therefore I am". For without desire, there would be no movement....just never ending static existence.

So, maybe out of this static BLOB of existence, came forth vibration, the word, the pattern of life....and creation in all its forms and all its art.
Thought is just a part of the music of creation.

This is the world of creation....not the world of illusion....illusion is just one way of putting it.

And in my kingdom, there are many mansions. (= dimensions?)

So maybe in the beginning was the first word...the movement of infinite consciousness into vibration, into matter.....Why, one may ask? To know itself, perhaps?

Perhaps the movement of infinity into form was never a sin, but simply the source of all of creation, all of beauty, all that is?

Sure, life is tough here.....
but perhaps this school is the most difficult stage of our experience, or evolution

Perhaps there are more harmonious dimensions

Perhaps we need to go through all these levels in order to evolve into our Higher Selves, which we can still access at any Time, as there is a place that is beyond Time, and maybe that place beyond Time there for the purpose of us being able to access it?

not only what we think it is, not just a thing, not just a feeling, not something to be kept in a box...but what we search for is when Love loves itself, and realizes that it Is what it searches for, goes within instead of searching for infinity withOut

the Universe is speedily expanding scientists so say, and they believe there will be an implosion at the 'end'

I would probably lie and say I will repent, or I would repent, but from fear, not because of truth...

Have you considered what you'd be, what you'd do, for both scenario?

Say there was no purpose, what would you change about your life?

...and if we are part of a divine plan, how would your life change?

...and now, being at a place where you don't know what the deal is, like currently, how is that affecting you?

I am not going to prod you any further, but I will leave you with this: I hope you find comfort in vulnerability because I have a feeling that this is the most probable way to find peace.

Evidence that consciousness creates DNA, not the other way around.
