FALLING

Any person is likely to “fall off” the blessed path.
The most important thing is that their heart remain in the Lord, as well as their willingness to come back to the fold AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Don’t let a day pass or even a moment of your lengthening your state of disgrace. Existing in a state of disgrace allows your mind to wander to darker thoughts and will lead you to a path straight to “hell”.
In this case, “hell” is a state of shifting desires. Although the desires are met and satisfied, the satisfaction is momentary and shallow. Like a whistle blown in the wind, it leaves an echo of longing and remorse.
Sin’s “satisfaction” simply leads to an inevitable emptiness, a deeper longing, or else a string of one “high” to the next. It might take some a few days or years to notice that they are not truly satisfied. True satisfaction is God’s presence. Sin is God’s absence, and therefore, sin becomes a way to “hell” or unbearable torment.
I do not wish to chastise, because every person is creator of their destiny. However, each person is also affecting others, and as our unity is the way of the world and inherent in our existence, we are bound to share our realities. To help each other is to help ourselves. To help ourselves draw nearer to God, is to help each other.
The “path” I mentioned is built by a conglomeration of choice, action and identity, when referring to the self, and then of influence to persons or community, and then to greater consciousness in the public sphere.
It is of great importance that we now chose, consciously, the path of sublime desires.
We are not of this world. Our spirit is strong and it is of all things that we truly desire and are: love, justice, truth, beauty, union, true power and bliss.
When we come to realize our inborn reality and follow the desires of our soul, we reach true satisfaction. That is, in existing in and for God, and in so doing, uniting our soul with its true source of life and power.
Every sin can be absolved by the power of love. I pray that you be filled with the love to make perfect all circumstances before you. Amen.
