Sin

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

This is a non-moralistic revision of the concept of sin. On the LP, sin is simply a disjunctive act 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 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. Sin causes disjuncture. Disjuncture leads to guilt and shame, and guilt and shame may be alleviated by suppressing Self, via drugs, distraction, avoidance, etc. See Awareness Reduction Mechanisms

Sin may lead to neurosis, psychosis, and even physical disease.

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.
