The central thesis in my scripture is that trauma = sin. Sin is not necessarily something you *do* but something that happens to you.

Both sin and trauma:

1. Have consequences.
2. Separate us from god, transcendence, nature.
3. Separate us from each other.
4. Block progress.
5. Cause or greatly risk harm to someone else or ourselves.
6. Limit free agency.
7. Keep us from “coming home.”
8. Prevent blessings and happiness.
9. Block us from the free-flowing vibe of the Spirit.
10. Self-perpetuate.
11. Are passed down from generation to generation.

The only definition of sin that doesn't parallel with trauma is that "Sin is anything that goes against God's commands."

If we can prevent/heal trauma, we can prevent/heal sin.

Perhaps one day god said to godself, "Am I omnipotent? Can I do all things? Can I create a rock I cannot lift? Am I so powerful that I could best even myself?"

On that day, god decided to test this idea, and split godself into an illion separate creatures with separate awarenesses, and placed them all in a limited realm where they each could try to best the other in a 22 billion-year-old contest of wills.

Reality is god trying to outdo godself.

Going to try to get started on #ScriptureWriting today, but a flare of seemingly unending IBS plus some frustrating bad news is keeping me distracted. It's hard to write about #SecularSpirituality with a bad attitude.

There are, in fact, some consistencies in some spiritual experiences. For instance, many folks across many cultures experience transcendence of feeling at one with everything or with all beings. This is either psychological or reflects evidence of a real spiritual realm, BUT there are inconsistencies in the details, for instance, which god or force had anything to do with it. That’s where you’ll find me being skeptical of claims about what it all means. #SecularSpirituality #ScriptureWriting

According to the latest census, some 46.2% of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian on the day of the 2021 census, down from 59.3% a decade earlier.
More than 1 in 3 people — 37% — said they had no religion, up from 25% in 2011.
