Much is made in many religious tradtions of original sin. The principles of Christianity are based upon this being the reason Jesus was birb, cruxcified and rose from the dead - to pay our debt of original sin. Yet what mystics of all traditions remind us is that long before original sin we stodd in the light of original innocence. Buddhist call this our Buddha nature and Christian mystics refer to it as the mind of Christ. It's who we are sans ego and its who we will be again in the blink of clear remembrence. Don't buy the fact that we were born in sin and do not inherit the thought that we are less than God. We are an extension of the All Being and therefore all that's go(o)d that springs from this source is as perfect as its orgin. Jesus himself replied in this same regard - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (John 10:34)
And yet we doubt his words and our own greatness. We are Gods and this is indeed a humble statement as we stand before a world of continuous creation - a world we have dreamed into being and now again must dream for it's completion in the original goodness of our own image.
Peace,
Eric
