Sin

From The SpiritWiki

A sin is any action that is out of alignment with the nature and intent of your own Resident Monadic Consciousness and that causes harm to another living being.


Notes

The LP concept of sin is a non-moralistic revision of concept. On the LP, sin is simply ant act, out of alignment with Higher Self, that harms another living being.

You can be out of alignment but still not sin. A sin only occurs when you hurt another living being, for any reason.

You can harm another living being, and still not be in sin. For example, it is not a sin to defend yourself. OTOH, eating meat when vegetarianism or veganism is a viable option is.

Sin causes disconnection allowing the following psychological/emotional/neurological path. Sin causes disjuncture. Disjuncture leads to guilt and shame. Guilt and shame may be alleviated via Self Suppression.

Self Suppression may lead to neurosis, psychosis, physical disease, and accident proneness.

It should be noted that disjunctive actions and sin (i.e. disjunctive actions that harm others)) are not the only cause of Disconnection Pathology. Failure to adequately attend to the needs of the physical unit, violence and abuse we experience (i.e. Toxic Socialization, and the sins we commit against others all contribute to pathogenesis.
