The sin syndrome
Sin is but ignorance, so let’s erase it,
by examining where lies the root of thought
that lamp of eternal truth be in us lit.
Fear mirrors desire, a web in which we’re caught,
so if we reduce attachments bit by bit,
heart’s emptiness draws in God’s grace, which soul sought.
We are a soul, ensouling mind-body shell
and once this knowing is clear, all will be well.
Our spirit too is made in likeness of God
and as such all wayward acts are by ego,
which recedes when we choose to give love a nod,
releasing lower mind, choosing to forgo
all that that comes and goes, whence by bliss light awed,
the false falls away and truth of Self we know.
Reworded we may say when there’s no one here,
light of our true being, will in us appear.
