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

When we sin, we harm other living beings. Harm to other living beings damages the [[Physical Unit]] and, if the harm is chronic and long term, lowers the [[Consciousness Quotient]] of the individual. Sinning reduces [[Consciousness]] and therefore sinning against others is a "crime" against Consciousness (a.k.a. God/Krishna/Christ) and our collective divinity.

When we sin we harm ourselves. Sin causes [[disjuncture]]. Disjuncture leads to [[guilt]] and [[shame]], and guilt and shame may lead to [[neurosis]], [[psychosis]], and even (owing to the diversion of bodily energy) physical distress and disease.

If "sinful" actions are stopped, disjuncture dissipates and the physical unit returns to normal energetic function (possibly after a period of [[Atonement]]. If the disjunctive acts are not stopped, pressure from the Resident Monadic Consciousness to correct action builds, and cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dissonance rises triggering, among other pathologies, [[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms]] in the physical unit.

It should be noted that disjunctive actions and sin (i.e. disjunctive actions that harm others)) are not the only cause of 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.

Notes

Catholicism

In Catholicism, "Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity."[1] The Catechism further elaborates that sin is really "disobedience" and an inflated Bodily Ego that makes one thing they might become "like gods."[2]


Sin generates disjunctive emotions of guilt and shame which further contribute to Disconnection. The guilt and shame of disjuncture are painful and an organism will do anything necessary to alleviate that pain. This may include employing Defense Mechanims to repress Self (Self Suppression) and engaging in Self Stupification by using substances like Heroin, Cocaine, or alcohol which dull awareness. Note, Self Suppression may contribute to the development of depression, neurosis, psychosis, and even physical disease.

Sin is a loaded term, but it’s also a common term, and a useful term if you understand a) that sin is a disjunctive act that harms another being and b) that the “sin” isn’t against God, it is against your own Highest Self. When you sin, you are engaged in an act that is so repulsive and disjunctive to your Highest Self, and consequently so disconnecting, that it deserves its own special word.

You can harm another living being and still not be in sin. For example, it is not a sin to defend yourself or your family or feed your spouse and your kids. Neither it is a sin to eat meat when vegetarianism/veganism is not a viable option.
