What is the Opposite of Sin?

Category   Ego, God, Non-duality, Religion

What is the opposite of sin? Does anyone have know?

What you focus on expands so if one wants to transcend sin, certainly one would need to focus on whatever is beyond sin. It’s interesting that Christianity focuses so much on sin, but it’s not clear as to what exactly is its opposite.

According to some quick research, people are suggesting innocence, righteousness, holiness, faith, virtue, or simply being a good person and doing the right thing.

Some even suggest that sin doesn’t have an opposite. Everything you do is sinful because you are a sinner and thus everything is a sin It’s just a matter of degree.

Talk about pessimism!

My definition would be to be in alignment with and to come from the higher self, unconditional love, your christ consciousness, your buddha nature, and an open heart… but that’s a bit wordy.

It’s not so much about finding the opposite of sin as it is transcending the realm of duality altogether and rising up into a place where only nonduality exists, where only Love exists. Love is all there is and sin is an illusion. Sin would therefore be choosing anything other than Love, an action sponsored by the lower self, the false self, and the ego mind.

If we looked at a building, sin would be a brick on the second floor. Love would be a brick on the ninth floor. The higher brick is not opposite to the lower brick, nor is it better or worse. It’s simply on another level entirely.

You don’t solve a problem with the same level of consciousness that created it. To go beyond sin, you must raise yourself up to a level that transcends the possibility of it entirely.

If sin has an opposite, what is it and how would we compress it into a single word? Love? Oneness? God?

What say ye? What single word represents the opposite of sin?


I Don’t Need No Instructions To Know How To ROCK!

Category   Enlightenment, God, Love, Peace, Religion

Let’s look at four different types of people:

“I don’t need no instructions to know how to ROCK!”

-Enlightened rock star

“I need instructions to know how to rock. I don’t feel the music. I don’t feel the beat. This guitar makes no sense. The noise it produces when I strum it makes people cringe.”

-n00b guitarist

“I need external rules, laws, and limitations to stop me from hurting myself and others. I have no idea what I’m doing in life. I don’t feel these things called Oneness, God, or Love. At best they’re just concepts people talk about that I’m trying to understand.”

-Typical unawakened person

“I don’t need instructions to know how to live harmoniously with others. I AM Love. I embody Truth, Joy, and Peace. I exist harmoniously within ‘myself’ and thus I naturally live harmoniously with all ‘others’ since We Are All One.”

-Enlightened person

Rules and laws are helpful at lower levels of consciousness, but once Love is All There Is, all rules and “the way things should be” can be let go of and fully transcended.

“Love and do as you will.”

-St. Augustine


Allow Love to Flow Freely, without resistance

Category   Love, Surrender

Love and repression do not go hand in hand.

Love naturally wants to flow out into the world and touch the hearts of others. When there’s repression and resistance, that’s a sign that the ego is at work. There’s stuckness.

Love has no opposite.

In the same way how darkness is the lack of light and not the opposite of light, fear is the lack of Love, not the opposite to it.

You can’t put darkness in a room. In order to make it dark, you have to block out light.

You can’t put fear in a person. In order to make a person fearful, you have to block out Love.

All fear is a resistance to Love. Read More …


Open Your Heart, Quickly

Category   Chakras, Compassion, Exercises, Love

Here’s a great technique for quickly opening your heart chakra. It is especially useful in times where you’re feeling a bit low or not as compassionate as you know you could be.

Along with an open heart chakra comes the energies of acceptance, compassion, and unconditional love. Not to mention, it feels fantastic! :lol

There are a number of excellent heart chakra meditations and visualization techniques to help you open your heart chakra, but today we’re going to focus on one technique to help you open it on the spot.

This technique is sometimes called “The Thymus Thump” because it activates the thymus inside your chest. Metaphysically speaking, you’re activating your heart chakra.

Here’s how you do it. Simultaneously,

  • Smile
  • Think about someone you love
  • Make a fist with your hand
  • Thump on the center of your chest in 3 sets of 3 while saying, “ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha”

That’s it!

With this one simple technique, your chakra will start to open and you’ll immediately start to feel more loving and open with the world. :wub

One cool thing I like to do is after the 9 thumps, keep thumping until I completely bust out laughing. (This usually only takes a few more thumps.) Spontaneous genuine outbursts of laughter for no reason at all is a great sign of an open heart. It arises simply from feeling good.


How Do You Love People

Category   Love, Relationships, Surrender

Question:

When I was 13, I had this platonic love, but it was not love, it was an infatuation. So that’s not it. I have experienced states of what could have been love, an inner state I cannot describe after repeating the ‘mantra’ I am truly loved, with tears, but I’m not sure if it was really it, or just an ego trip since I was ‘being better’ than the rest of the world just because they were not able to feel that state. Towards my family and ‘beloved’ ones… I appreciate them.

It’s confusing, and maybe it’s my fears trying to get the best out of me, but how do you actually love someone? How do you love yourself? What is love?

My Comments:

How do you Love someone? How do you NOT? :blink

Oh yeah, that whole ego thing…

Lovingness arises when the ego steps aside. Let it go. When you look at someone, don’t judge them, criticize or condemn, label or categorize…

Anything coming from the mind is just a mentalization. Love arises from beyond the mind.

“I Love You.”

More accurately, that statement could be something like “The essence of that which I am acknowledges and appreciates the essence of that which you are.”

or “The God in me recognizes and adores the God in you.” (Namaste)

There is no “I” to love and no “you” to be loved. Those two “beings” only exist within the mind. You and I are one. In reality it’s Love loving Love. It’s not an “I” loving a “You.”

Let the ego go. Open your heart chakra. Love is the Truth of what you are. When the ego stops covering this up, Love arises spontaneously, freely, and automatically.

The question is not how to Love, for Love is your true nature. A better question to ask is how do I stop resisting Love.

Surrender!!! Let go of all resistances to Love and it will be the only thing left. :p2

Thanks for your question.


Spiritual Truth is Experiential, Not a Belief System

Spiritual Truth is something to know, to experience, not something to believe in. The joy and love and peace of God can be actually experienced once you know how to access it.

Do you need a belief system to know how many heads are sticking up out of your neck? If I told you you had 18 heads sticking out of your neck, would a debate even be necessary? No.

You know you have only one physical head. You experience it. You know it. No belief system or opinion is necessary.

It’s when you lack the complete knowingness and experience that the weaker substitute of belief or opinion (which only exist in the mind, not in reality) is necessary.

Whether or not Jesus turned water into wine, or whether Adam and Eve actually existed, it’s not something we can actually experience. Thus, it’s basically a question of whether you believe in it or not. Since there’s no way of proving it one way or another, all you have are people arguing and defending their belief systems which is essentially a big house of cards. People are terrified of what will happen if their cards come tumbling down.

What are some spiritual truths that can be experienced and that really make a DIFFERENCE in your life? Read More …


Opposites Do Not Exist

Love is all there is.

It is literally impossible for anything other than Love to exist. Yet, if Love is all you experience, you will never truly be able to appreciate it.

In the same way that your favorite food grows tiresome if you eat it consistently, it is necessary to experience the opposite of that which you enjoy in order to fully understand and appreciate that which you enjoy.

Because Love is all there is and it’s impossible to experience anything other than Love, the next best thing is to forget and create the illusion of fear. You are given the tremendous gift of being able to believe fear is real in order to fully appreciate Love.

In the absence of that which you are NOT, that which you ARE is NOT.

In this lifetime and in all your other lifetimes, you have the ability to create whatever it is you wish. You get to create fear. You get to create Love. With enough trial and error, you’ll start to come to the conclusion that Love simply feels better. It’s a more enjoyable place to be. Fear may feel good to the ego, but it’s ultimately a destructive energy. What may feel righteous or justified in the short term will never bring long term happiness.

If fear doesn’t exist, how is it that we can experience it?

Let’s take a look at several pairs of opposites. Read More …
