Want to know what original sin is? (Now don't go climbing up on your high horse and stomping all around at the very mention of the two words. You can always do that later.)
It is the separation of ourselves from the Interflow of Life Itself. We stand erect and proud and separate. This sets up a chain reaction where we have to do something about the Other. We have divided ourselves into Me and All That. All That has now become foreign. Love goes away and Fear-Anger-Anxiety move in.We have lost our Birth Right. We have sold it on the market of Separation.
The good news is this separation can be overcome with Humility and Compassion, the two-fold formula for transformation
Humility: Becoming as Humus while not losing your sense of Humor. I was meeting with a Healing class on the Winnebago Reservation some time ago. We began by introducing ourselves. An older woman, grey-haired and with a sparkle in her eyes, said: Just call me Rag Bag. We laughed with understanding.
Okay. You can get up on your high horse now if you wish but doing so is an example of Original Sin, the moving away from Humility and Compassion.
