Sin & Death Is The World’s Biggest LIE & How Sin and Death Beliefs Caused Mental Health Struggles
It took me 21 years to discover that I have never been a sinner and that my struggles with depression, anxiety, and trauma were a result of the mindset of sin and death. A self and mind that got its origin from superstitious theological beliefs.
Now I don’t live in that mindset anymore.
Understanding the law of sin and death and the true nature of your BEING is more important now than ever. We’re living in defining and challenging times. Many of us feel depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed—watching life fall apart, plans unravel, and emotional pain intensify. Everything seems to go wrong at once. Understandably, you become hyper-sensitive to pain, and what little joy remains starts to fade. You’re just sad. Your body is reacting as if you’re at the edge of the world. Depression isn’t weakness—it’s your BEING screaming that it’s time to discover who you are and start living within BEING the ONLY REALITY, PLACE and WORLD.
The BEING made in the Image and Likeness of God—the Soul—cannot go through such an experience. To claim otherwise is to say that God is a liar or that God is the one having this experience.
But what if that’s not the case? Then who is experiencing this?
The common mindset or belief in mortality came from the superstitious idea of sin and death, which is based on the false belief that the Soul is lost.
Unfortunately, people accept this belief without question or challenge, treating it like a law. This belief led to another false idea: that the body is who we are. These two beliefs form an ego-based mindset and sense of self (as described in Genesis 2:4), in which there is no God, no real life, no inner peace, and no happiness.
I used to be trapped in this belief of sin and death. I felt helpless and stuck in constant survival mode. My brain became hypersensitive to negative thoughts, which caused me great pain.
As a Christian, then, I thought God had failed because my prayers were not answered on time, and my body felt trapped like an animal in a cage or boxing ring. In that cage or box, they told me I was lost in sin and trespasses, and so there was a me ( a lost soul ) and God in the sky, a separation caused as a result of sin.
Trapped in that mindset, my lost soul was doomed to suffer and was in a state of constant darkness.
I struggled with fear, stress, trauma and diseases. I got to the point where my life was falling apart, my mind turned against me, I lost faith in God, and just when I thought the hands of death had taken hold of me, I found life, the REAL Life.
I found Life—the BEING Life.
You are not a sinner!
You are NOT separated from God, a “Still Small Voice” whispered to me, holding me gently.
That was the first time I experienced The REST Of God.”
In my confusion, I asked, “Am I dead?” because for once I stopped having those negative thoughts that often slide in without invitation; no sense of dread, fear, anxiety, sadness and my body wasn’t reacting to anything. Just peace and happiness. Why is that?
What is going on?
Again, “Still Small Voice” said I was in the REAL World and in a New REALITY where nothing like that ( death ) could happen, and that it was impossible for me ever to get out of there, not that I wanted to.
I didn’t want to leave the place of REST because I started waking up every day feeling fine, unlike before, when I dreaded waking up because it was always accompanied by negative thoughts, voices in my head, loneliness, people not understanding me, some saying I was weird, which sometimes made me wonder what was wrong with me.
After I lost my mom, grandma, and sister within the space of six years, grief and emotional pain consumed me. I stopped socializing. I was upset when people shared their condolences for my loss, so I avoided hanging out or meeting people. I changed my phone number so friends and some family members couldn’t reach me.
Then I realized how wide the gap was between them and me. That gap kept widening as the years went by; feelings of loneliness, lack of meaning, and purpose grew.
I noticed that other people had lives: they did things, went to places, had experiences to share.
Here was I struggling with grief, terrible social anxiety and insecurity about how I look, with depression, trauma, etc. One day, I was on my way out when a woman stopped me to ask if I was the only one who had lost a loved one. The lady confronted me out of genuine concern, which I appreciated, but that confrontation took me back to square one. It had taken me weeks to talk myself into it and summon the courage to make that move.
I found myself having nothing to say. I felt so bored and weird, like I didn’t belong. I was so shut down that the simplest conversations often went south really quickly. It felt as if I was watching the world around me through a closed window. It was a painful experience.
I understand your pain if you are going through something similar and thinking this way. This way of thinking was designed to make you feel exactly as you are right now. The thinking never makes you feel like you’re not a normal and makes your life miserable, as it did for me.
Following the death of my mom, my grandma and my sister, most of my days were the same because I was stuck in the same painful loop. I spent my days and years crying, worrying in fear if my siblings or I were going to be ok. I was really depressed and reliving my trauma.
Most days, once I woke up, it was like I was being put in that cage where the mind would suggest negative conversations about the tragedies in my life and the things I’ve been through that would torture me.
I was genuinely in so much pain every day, but no one knew that’s how my life had turned out, spending my days crying alone. My thoughts were torturing me, reminding me of how much of a pathetic idiot I was.
I am glad I never have to go through all that again.
So what happened?
The “Still Small Voice” told me I was reacting because of the conditioning of sin and death.
The teaching that “I” was a sinner, that the body was who “I” am and that my soul is lost. The claim that within the body is my soul, all of which was a lie.
The “Still Small Voice” said that teaching or doctrine implied there is a being/person within it, is a lost soul, and a God up in heaven, and a division or separation due to sin, and said that never happened.
The “Still Small Voice” said that belief, thought, narrative and opinion of myself created a dualistic mindset, a mind of opposites, a God and Us.
This mindset originates from Genesis 2:4. It rests on mortality—a belief so deeply ingrained that it cannot be questioned or challenged. This belief seems so powerful that it functions as law for all who accept it as their truth.
The “Still Small Voice” asked me to read Genesis chapters one and two, paying close attention to Genesis 2:4 and its author. The “Still Small Voice” pointed out that the author of chapter one was different from the author of chapter two, which I did. “What difference does it make?” I asked.
Here’s precisely How The “Still Small Voice” explains what was happening.
In Genesis 1-2:3, the SPIRIT of God tells us how God brought REALITY into being. According to Genesis 1:26-27, God made man in IT Image and Likeness.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God, he created them;
male and female, he created them.
God The I AM-That-I AM IS All IN All
BEING is a Single BEING and is All in All. BEING is Reality. Reality is God, Life, Love, Existence. BEING is the Eternal BEING, the Image and Likeness of God, also known as the Soul. The Image and Likeness of God, the Soul is the Omnipresent “I,” and this “I” – Identity is Eternal.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God, he created them;
Male ( Spirit – BEING, Reality/God) + Female ( the Image and Likeness of God/Soul) = The ONLY MIND, he created them.
Eternal Omnipresent BEING
Eternal Omnipresent BEING, IS BEING being the All of All, God being the whole of REALITY, the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul being the ONLY “I-THAT-IS, consists of all BEING’s Entire Universe.
This is BEING’s universe. This is God’s World, a world where the Spirit and the Soul function as ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL “I-Identity. This is God’s way. This is the ONLY BEING made in the Image and Likeness of God, hence God made ITSELF.
BEING, Reality ( God) + ( Image and Likeness of God, the Soul ) is your ONLY SELF, MIND.
The entire universe is within the Image and Likeness of God, is within the Soul and the “I – INDIVIDUAL SELF Eternal Awareness.”
All things belong to BEING, Reality, God – the I-that I-AM for the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul is BEING ITSELF, REALITY ITSELF, GOD ITSELF being. The ‘-AM-SELF is Perfect, Whole, Complete, knows All and is the Substance of All things.
Let me break that further Genesis 1:26-27;
BEING, REALITY ( God, Life, Love, Existence ) = The PRESENT ALL CONCEIVING INTELLIGENCE. This is the Intelligence, the I-AM-THAT-I-AM who is the All in All
The Image & Likeness of God, also known as the Soul = The PRESENT ALL PERCEIVING SELF. This is the sense of Perception of the Soul from “BEING” point of view—the lens through which we are supposed to perceive SELF and live life.
BEING, REALITY – God ( Spirit ) + ( Soul )The Image & Likeness of God, also known as the Soul = ETERNAL MIND. Together forms BEING ONE and ONLY MIND from which the Image and Likeness of God operates and is the origin of this God BEING.
Hence: Genesis 1: 26
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God, he created them;
male ( Spirit – BEING, Reality/God) and female ( the Image and Likeness of God/Soul)
= the ONLY MIND, he created them.
Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1:2 tells us that God finished the work that HE had been doing and rested from all HIS work and blessed the day HE made it holy for all that HE created in the world.
Genesis chapter 2:1-3 testifies to the above truth and confirms what God had made. When you pay attention and look at all that God made, you see that everything was Spirit made by Spirit for Spirit. There was no physical body.
The Image and Likeness of God is Spirit.
The Image and Likeness of God, or the Soul, has never separated from BEING, Reality, God, contrary to theological claims. There is only God Himself, being. BEING, being ITSELF ONLY. This Truth does not give rise to a physical body. All is God, being God. All Action is God. All Substance is BEING. All of Existence is Life living. There is nothing else.
There is only BEING, Reality being God. BEING, simply being ITSELF. That’s all.
ONE BEING, ONE REALITY, ONE GOD, ONE LIFE!
An All in All BEING.
The ONLY I-THAT-I AM!
BEING, just BEING ITSELF. That’s it.
The Divine Man made in the Image and Likeness of God in Genesis 1:26 was Spirit. BEING didn’t create a mortal being or produce a physical body that evolves or grows. Everything was and IS Spirit when God finished the work IT was doing. BEING, being God. BEING being Reality, BEING being the Image and Likeness of God, of ITSELF. Every action is BEING. Every substance is BEING. All of existence is Life living itself. Nothing else exists.
The “Still Small Voice” revealed to me that Genesis 2:1-3 is the revelation of God’s BEING-SELF-MIND.
In this BEING, REALITY, GOD + the Image & Likeness of God = MIND, All is BEING only—only BEING All in All.
This Perfection of BEING is the Only One-I-Am, the I-Am of All, All I Am, wholly inclusive of the universe. “I Am” is the ONLY Substance, the Total Eternal Identity, the Only Action. In this BEING, the Soul is not cut off, lost, or missing, and nothing can be added to it. Nothing imperfect, defective, digressive, or mutative exists. How could it? Spirit is the Only Place, the Only Substance, the Only Conceiver and conception.
BEING is the Eternal Intelligence beholding the Image and Likeness of God ITSELF. The Soul is the Divine SELF being Self-Aware—the I-that-I-Am beholding ITSELF being INDIVIDUALLY SELF-Conscious, Self-Identified, SELF-Aware as the I-Identity.
This leaves out no portion of the BEING universe. It includes all of BEING’s business, BEING’s family, BEING’s body, BEING’s city, state, nation, earth, and planets. All is included in BEING’s Eternal MIND, and this MIND of BEING is the Entire Action of all It includes. Everything is Perfect, Whole, and Permanent, giving the Image and Likeness of God, the Soul, MIND - Eternal Happiness and Peace of Mind.There is not a single thing, body, or thought that can either work a lie or be worked on by a lie. Not an item in the entirety of Completeness can be subject to sin and death, ego or trouble, or that ego can use the body as its subject as an example. (See Rev 21:27.) God is all—hence there can be no sin and death.
The Law Of Sin And Death
From the moment teaching was possible, we have been told that the curse placed on Adam and Eve by the Lord God was the penalty for violating the law and breaking the rules. It was the penalty of sin that introduced death, their wrongdoing, and disobedience. The story points out that they were told they could eat of all the trees, but there was a special tree they were not allowed to eat from, for if they did, it would bring them an experience that was best for them not to have.
Creating the perfect condition for the mythical story – Sin and death require duality: the deceit and the deceived, the sin and the sinner, the wrong and that which is wronged.
We are told that Adam and Eve were punished by God for breaking the rules. Their punishment was death, brought about by their sin and disobedience. The story says they could eat from any tree, except one special tree. If they ate from that tree, something bad would happen to them.
The story of Adam and Eve was the first time death was mentioned. It created an image of God’s separation – a new and different state of mind, a duality and opposite of what God is; an incomplete consciousness, a void, darkness, a lost soul, an incomplete God, which all came about as a result of sin.
When God brought about Existence and completed ITS work, there was no sin.
How did the Lord God know about death?
Theology has promulgated the notion that we are fallen from grace and must return to God. We are taught that we must work our way back to Perfection. That we must pay the wages of sin, undo our ancestors’ evil, atone for theirs and our own iniquity, and somehow regain our lost nature, which, when examined in the Light of Eternal BEING, the Present-All-Conceiving INTELLIGENCE are all LIES.
If the lord god, theology and ancient religion recognized sin and death, it is obvious that their god is not God at all, a god void of BEING, REALITY, the Image and Likeness of God, hence its supposed work, doctrines, or creation is as false as its own pretended self-identity and mind.
BEING alone is SINGLE, ONE ALONE ALL in All BEING. God is BEING. REALITY IS GOD – LIFE, LOVE, EXISTENCE, GOODNESS.
God didn’t create the law of sin and death mindset.
Ancient religion and theology declare a different story.
The bible in Mat 6:33 states, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.” You are called to seek the righteousness of God. It did not say seek God in a mortal, carnal sense, but in what God knows God to be. God can be known only by perceiving the SELF through the lens of the Image and Likeness of God.
Now, because ancient religion and theology cut off the soul and determined that the Soul was lost, how could they see BEING? How could they know God? For to be carnally minded is death.
This mind or framework can be traced to the superstitious belief in mortality—a belief built on the foundation that the Spirit and the Soul are separated, hence opposing what God IS. It’s the belief that identifies the body as the “self” when you see yourself as a member of the human race. This belief is inborn, as inherent as the body supposedly formed by the Lord God in Genesis 2:4.
This false sense of self causes chaos, emotional pain, disease, trauma, suffering, anxiety, depression, and death.
Ancient religious teachings and doctrines have been accepted as eternal truths and fully embraced, shaping the human mind, the personal self, and the limited consciousness within which humans live.
God’s Image and Likeness has no story of evolution or growth from nothing to something.
Only Perfection exists. Imperfection does not exist.
God’s Image and Likeness never changes. It is Complete and Perfect, so it cannot be altered, separated, or divided.
Life is God, and God never created any of the confusion of sin and death – the mind that causes you mental and emotional suffering. The Image and Likeness of God never fell from Perfection, never changed, never created flawed beings, and never tempted Himself by creating something good but forbidden. Using something good wouldn’t create separation, death, or duality. It wouldn’t create another state or presence besides God. It wouldn’t break Eternal unity or suggest that there’s anything more or less than All of All.
BEING IS Whole, Complete and Perfect—so God cannot change, be altered, or improve.
There is no curse. There is no mortal human, no death. There is no history of slow development or evolution from nothing to something. Perfection simply is. Imperfection is not real. BEING IS Whole, Complete and Perfect—so God cannot change, be altered, or improve. How can something that doesn’t exist (because it’s just the absence of Being) suddenly come into existence and do anything?
The Image and Likeness of God knows, enjoys, and uses every aspect of BEING. Who could forbid God anything? Who could keep any part of Life from Life ITSELF? Who could withhold anything from the All in All? These are silly questions, right? Yet theology teaches us this is possible and actually happening. We accept as fact that there’s an opposite to God—a satan, evil, also known as the ego, a mind conditioning that opposes BEING, REALITY, GOD, Life, a power that challenges God’s power, a state of lack, fear, and evil that excludes Good.
BEING, Reality – God, the Soul is Complete, Real, and Present right now. Life is constantly experiencing ITSELF without separation or division. Life doesn’t come and go or rise and fall. Life is Being—Unchanging Intelligence, Pure Truth, Perfect BEING. Here, there can be no sin and death, no self-defeating curse, no condition to wait out or suffer through.
Since everything is always Present, and everything belongs to BEING right now—fully known and used by Eternal Intelligence—how could there be temptation for something more? Can you add anything to All? Can anything be missing from All? Can All want more than totality? Can the One All BEING create something that contradicts Eternal Truth?
The answer is No! So there is no temptation, no tempter, and no one being tempted.
Since BEING is the only Mind, the only Presence, who can fall from Grace? Who can be changed? Who needs forgiveness? Who needs to recover a lost position? Where is this lost position? Who says it exists? How would a lost Soul return to Itself when God has never separated into two, never gone anywhere, and never changed from Total Perfection? The truth is that the Identity of the Image and Likeness of God is the only “I”, and there is no other.
Clearly then, since there’s no temptation, no sin and death, and no soul lost from Perfection, there can be no return, no payment for wrongdoing, no fixing needed, and no recovery required. No price to pay, and no atonement required—because the Only BEING never sinned, the Image and Likeness of God never made mistakes, and Life never became less than what It is.
As I’ve mentioned, the law of sin and death is a lie.
Every aspect of human history and the human mind was constructed from the law of sin and death.
Humanity cannot exist without this flaw—this emptiness, void, the imperfection of human rational reasoning.
Its entire foundation rests on the idea of the soul’s separation from God. It needs duality—this split state—to function.
All human activity exists within a framework of stories, inventions, and falsehoods. Every human impulse comes from this false identity, continues through endless wrong assumptions, and ends in something impossible.
There is only ONE BEING, Life—God, the only I-that-I-Am. There is no other Presence, no other Power, Authority, Identity, or I-Am BEING. BEING is All. All is God only. Nothing else exists. This MIND of I-Am is the very Substance of the universe, the entirety of all things, and no part of this Substance can be destroyed, changed, divided, altered, or corrupted.
The only answer to human problems is to start with the Eternal Completeness of BEING. Here you see only BEING in ITs fullness, Heaven itself. Here is peace, quiet, abundance, Eternal Perfection, joy, and happiness. Here is an Awareness of I-Am that doesn’t have a troubled subconscious or an inflated superconscious. It doesn’t waver, desire wrongly, sin, fear, stumble, grow old or sick, fail, or die.
BEING’s Way is God’s Way.
The truth IS there is no other Way under the sun. The Image and Likeness of God, the SOUL can never be what IT IS not. The ONE and ONLY BEING made in the Image and Likeness of God can only be the One-IT-IS, the SPIRIT & SOUL functioning as ONE. This Eternal BEING is ONE – Whole, Perfect, Eternal right now.
BEING, GOD ( Spirit ) + ( the Image & Likeness of God/ the Soul)= The ONLY MIND.
BEING IS All in All, REALITY – Life is God. The Image and Likeness of God/the Soul is the ONLY DIVINE-ETERNAL-INDIVIDUAL-BEING, SELF-IDENTITY, MIND and IS GOD ITSELF.
The “Still Small Voice” told me that the Image and Likeness of God, or the Soul, never fell from grace, nor did the Spirit and the Soul ever separate, as theology claimed.
BEING, REALITY – GOD ( Spirit ) + ( the Image & Likeness of God/ the Soul)= The ONLY MIND IS the ALONE BEING and God’s PERFECTION. This is the ONLY MIND.
The “Still Small Voice” told me that ITS Perfection never produced offspring, the Image and Likeness of God, which is the ONLY “I – Individual – Identity/SELF has never been tempted.
Assuming that the Image and likeness of God was experiencing depression, anxiety, and emotional pain as a result of grief meant I was living, operating and perceiving life, myself, from a false mind, a dualistic state of being which was not God.
It said my frustration with God meant another state of mind, a false God, a condition and presence beside BEING ITSELF appeared to have been functioning. Admitting that the body was my being and self meant accepting that it was my truth. What appeared to be shattering was the ignorant termination of Eternal Unity and the admission of something more or less than All in ALL.
The “Still Small Voice” asked me to stop looking at the image created by ancient religious, theological and social conditioning and accept BEING as my true and only DIVINE-ETERNAL-INDIVIDUAL-BEING, SELF-IDENTITY, MIND.
The “Still Small Voice” told me to stop searching for answers to my problems in ideas about sin and death. It said that getting caught up in these religious beliefs—which are at the root of my then mental health struggles—would keep me stuck as long as I held onto them.
Just like the “Still Small Voice” called me to an unknown path years ago, and, out of curiosity, I answered the call, leaving everything behind to see if God exists, I followed the “Still Small Voice” to find the REST of God.
Then I hit another roadblock when the “Still Small Voice” encouraged me to trust IT and start living from the BEING MINDSET.
I was totally scared to make the move, but BEING basically told me to stick with it and not let all those years of learning go to waste. The only way to actually see, live, and experience what BEING really is—to know the Life of BEING—is to just do it and be BEING.
Scared as hell, I entered my washroom (a story for another day) to confront the day’s challenges, perceiving Life through the lens of the Image and Likeness of God, or my Soul and fully Aware of the TRUTH of my BEING, I made the move and saw how BEING saved me.
I discovered a whole new meaning of Life—a MIND where there is no suffering, no sufferer, no greater or lesser presence, no otherness than Eternal Perfection as the Alone-I-that-I-Am, here and now always, in all ways. Here in BEING, there is no mortality, no materiality, no cycle of birth and death, rise and fall, corruption and purification, sin and death, departure and return, or sin or sinners, lost soul. I found my complete BEING, Happiness, heaven at hand, the Awareness of God’s PRESENCE. In this MIND, there are no limiting beliefs, sin and death. Just total Peace of MIND – of course, why not? Because I no longer live in the human mind.
Dear Lost and Hurting Soul,
You can’t escape ego’s confusion and darkness by thinking you are lost or believing the narratives of sin and death, the story of the dark night of the soul or thinking that false mind will save you. It will not.
As long as you rely on those false conditioning about your being, self, mind, and God, you’ll get stuck in contradictions, and listen to conflicting messages; you’ll stay lost.
Look, you can’t break free from all that confusing darkness if you keep going back to the same mindset that got you confused in the first place—turn to BEING instead. And as long as you’re stuck listening to the ego’s contradiction—which is literally saying two different things at once—you’re going stay lost. The sin and death – the ego just keeps on running its mouth, speaking in like a million different voices, and every single one of them is twisted, two-faced, double-minded, or dualistic.
Basically, the mindset of sin and death contains every limitation you’re trying to break free from, or it includes every rule that restricts you or holds you back. It’s got all these rules that box you in or tie you down.
It won’t work.
