We Punish Ourselves...

...by way of going against the natural laws of the universe.
Cause and effect...or karma. When ego rules we are off the mark (concept of sin) but when we are for One or God (trust in the source) then we overcome ego (sin) and cancel our karmic debt and move on.

Source energy is expansive, loving and creative. When we are aligned with source energy we are in the flow of source and on purpose.

When one Quiets the noise and connects to source (an inside job) these self evident aspects shine through. Looking for truth externally is impossible. It is illusionary. We project reality from within our consciousness not the other way around.

God can be known in the stillness.
