| BkIV:12.V.14 | Creating your own world, with its own laws, was the option chosen. Not chosen was to live eternally as someone who receives everything regardless of what you did or did not do to deserve it. Can you begin to see the connection that exists between the idea of merit and separation? You sought to create yourself—not because you were evil or a miserable sinner, but because you wanted to establish the idea that it was possible. As in a dream you sought to create worlds and more worlds. Dreaming is not a sin, although it can be frightening. And it's not reality. |
