The OG Sin - "Believing Your Thoughts"

Every moment, before any thought appears - you are just the presence. Existence. Then by habit - the "I am this body" thought - believed in - pulls you into "person" from "presence" - the OG Sin!

Without thinking or believing thoughts - Life is just an amazing play of colors and sounds and energy. You even need a thought to analyze and interpret "presence". Which frankly changes every moment. The moment I try to understand - it passes.

Thoughts come and go - like clouds in an infinite sky. They're harmless - Believing them is what pushes you off the pedestal of eternal bliss. Heaven, that is here - every moment!

Before eating the fruit from the "Tree of knowledge" - it is said Adam & Eve lived a happy life in Eden. The fruit gave us the ability to think. Eve felt naked and ashamed & self preservation thoughts were believed in. That kicked off evolution as we know it. Every moment we believe in a thought - we are obeying the serpent's voice and biting into the fruit!

Socrates said - "I think, Therefore, I am". If I don't think (or believe thoughts) - I just remain as presence. Unborn.

"Everything is perfectly resolved in the unborn". Master Bankei

Dear Father - Forgive this sinner, each time he believes in a thought!
