We are, by nature, evil, just like the Bible says.
This is not a mindfuck; this is a fact observable by psychology & science as well. The meaning of original sin: The frontal lobe of our brain is associated with ego-consciousness & this is the area of the brain where most everyone's synapses are firing right now. It is mental prison few ever escape. It sees the world as the knower & the known when there actually is no such distinction in reality. Particle physics teaches us that atoms are actually & befuddlingly mainly composed of empty space. States of matter are formed through the relations that particles have to each other, but ultimately all is energy fields & all is One. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Only through meditation & suffering can one learn the truth of the unconscious; it's not the natural state of consciousness & we are hard-wired this way for evolutionary survival. It worked okay for mankind for a long time, but we are long overdue for a heightening of consciousness.
We have to develop the true soulful humanity within ourselves through self-sacrifice; otherwise, we are just only really intelligent simians.
