“Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself?”-Baha’u’llah, The Hidden Words.
Many, the world over, believe in Original Sin, the notion that we were born with the sin of Adam and Eve wrapped around our necks , like an albatross of legend. I could get into that whole After the Fall thing, but I have much else to do today.
What I believe is this: Christ took care of people’s guilt over the Fall from Grace, by sacrificing His earthly life. His point was, and is, we are absolved. We have always been absolved. A poster from the ’70’s says “I know I’m somebody, ’cause God didn’t make no junk.”
We are noble. We are made in the image and likeness of the Creator-in terms of attributes, in terms of spiritual qualities.
Amen!
We are ALL possibilities.
Understanding the gift of such a thing, therein lies the rub.

We do tend to sell ourselves short, with or without the Original Sin brainwashing.

Thanks again for your kind words… personal note… Last Fall at Alma, CO stayed at lodge owned by folks of your spiritual persuasion that were former teachers from a dreary city. Very interesting three days them telling us about how it all works… took away 1% or so – were at 1,500 ft and I was focused on breathing – but very interesting nonetheless.
