Decisive denial
- Denial of Divinity/God/Source in favor of pleasure-seeking.
- Denial of THE SUPREME in favor of pleasure-seeking.
- Denial of true nature in favor of pleasure-seeking.
- The original denial leads to the Big Bang.
- The original denial leads to the experience of separation.
- The original denial leads to the experience of finite manifestation.
- The original denial leads to the experience of the fall from grace.
- The original denial makes an illusory world of suffering but creates no real harm.
- Although the Divine can be denied to a significant degree in the divine play before there are extreme consequences, the original denial is the “denial too far.”
- With the original denial, the descent into the experience of separation is inevitable.
- The bitter consequences of the original denial cease when awakeness/enlightenment is prioritized over pleasure-seeking.
- The bitter consequences of the original denial cease when Divinity/God/Source is prioritized over pleasure-seeking.
- The bitter consequences of the original denial cease when THE SUPREME is prioritized over pleasure-seeking.
- The denial of the original denial leads to the transcendence of delusion, finitude, hell, maya, and samsara.
Important note: There is no inherent conflict between enlightenment and enjoyment. The greatest enjoyment is being the Divine consciously. Enjoyment only becomes problematic when it is prioritized over awakeness.
