Sin is Self-Contained

Sin is self contained. It is what creates hell in our reality right here and now.

Sin boils down to one evaluation: "Something is wrong here."

Resistance is hell.

If something is wrong with reality, from my perspective, I am in hell.

If all is right with reality, from my perspective, I am in heaven, no matter what that reality is.

I might be sobbing on the ground, feeling into what I see, but if I accept that as a right way to be, given what I'm seeing, I am still in heaven.

I am in agreement with reality. I am accepting what is happening in the way I can. I am crying my heart out.

Most sin begins in delusion. Most sin comes from imagining something which is not here now and then creating resistance to it.

I can end almost all my experience of hell by simply being with what is right here right now. Almost always, what I have walked myself to any given now is all right. Almost always, I am in a pleasant place surrounded by people who are doing their best to love me.

This was not always true for me. Yet now, I am the one who chooses whether to carry those experiences forward, envision what I have read in the news, remember sorrows loved ones have shared with me—or be here, now.

Here there is a plant in the corner, with a mirror on two sides, TRIPLE PLANT! There is a kind man and I can feel the heat of his body, the weight of his limbs. I hear the heater keeping our space warm, I have a full tumbler of clean ice water, and I'm seated on a throne of soft and supportive pillows.

Will I be in this heaven, or will I create some form of hell?

I am the one who decides.
