WHAT IS MEANT BY SIN AND REDEMPTION?

 
 Sin is the victory of our Lucifer ego and the defeat of our Christlike Self... the hiss of the snake, defeating the breath of God. When in the first man, the ego (snake) defeated the divine breath of the Self, man committed his first sin, because the immutable Cosmic Laws require the victory of the higher Self over the inferior ego.
 
Sin is a voluntary inversion of that eternal laws. This inversion can only be given by the illusion of the ego. But when the truth of the Self overcomes ego illusions, then comes the redemption of man.
 
Sin and redemption are attributes of human nature; man is defeated by his ego, and is victorious by his Self, and thanks to his free will, man is responsible for both his defeat or sin, for his victory or redemption. Both Lucifer and Logos, both the downfall of evil as the redemption in Christ are within man, and man is responsible for the triumph of his Christlike Self over his Lucifer like ego. Both Lucifer and Christ within man are the instruments of sin or redemption.
 
The sinner ego must suffer through the inversion of the Divine laws in its human nature; should integrate voluntarily in the Divine Self, and as all integration of the ego in the Self is equivalent to a disintegration of the ego, man cannot redeem himself without the death of his ego.
