What is another example of sin?....

Another example of sin is to see ourselves as separate from God. Actually, this separation mentality is the most basic ‘sin’ from which all others derive. We do this when we attempt to ‘invoke’ God’s presence as if He were not already there.

We also do this when we see ourselves as separate from others.
The next time the temptation to see or treat another person as separate from ourselves, we could say… “If I see myself as one with this person I will heal the tiny thought in my mind that I am separate from God”.

This tiny thought of separation is the cause of most of the relational problems in our lives, as well as the root of violence and war in the world. If you actually knew (experientially) of your essential oneness do you think you could pull that trigger?

‘What you do to the least of these, you do to me’. That’s ‘oneness’, and that is why it is of the utmost importance to heal this erroneous perception in our minds.
