People tend to judge each other in order to make themselves look good. People also tend to judge each other in a way that the sentence they set, is accepted by God. People give doom more happily than blessings. People are afraid of "easy life" if rules and standards are not followed, because discipline is the basis of Life. If not hard discipline, no order and what comes from that? Chaos. People tend to think, that if there are lots of rules, they are easier to follow, than wander in the grey area between simple and rare rules. Many are afraid, that if some don't follow the rules, everybody will be judged. Many seem to think, that "The Paradise" is only for "chosen" and the more there are those, who can't join, the more there is for chosen ones.
Chaos in the other hand is fearful event or feeling, because there's no reason in it. No set date of end, no rules to follow, no one to watch the rules are obeyed and no idea what's going to happen after that. It can be consider inner or outer war, breaking of the structure, breaking of the standard - rebellion. Chaos is sometimes needed, if people need something new. Chaos is often the fruitful event before the better life. Chaos is often breaking but also structuring. Chaos can be symbolic death, but also symbolic birth. Chos can be void and a vacuum, but it can turn around and begin the pushing too. Chaos seems endless in it's "no-set-date-" phenomenon, but can be also a base of sudden miracles too. Chaos breaks the rules of time, but it brings new rules too. Chaos is often considered something that is brought down. Bringing down, no matter how controlled way, something that used to be important, has effects to the surroundings. Let it be a marriage, social structure or a network; always there are consecuences that can't be predicted.
From the chaos of the second world war Europeans created totally new forms of life and the longest period without a war, too. I think that another war can be avoided, if the chaos now could be considered from a different point of view. A butterfly lives at first as a caterpillar, then creates a chaos in order to transform to a butterfly. Some pepole keep their chaos private, some people make it visible. Chaos in a form or another is needed by everybody, because growing as a human being is chaos between soul level issues and social standards.
Seven deadly sins are considered as sins that even God can't forgive. Why on Earth do people take that kind of power to decide over God, what can or can't be forgiven? Everybody need to face their personal demons, their karmic misfits. Some people need to face one misfit, some need to face many. Everything is between God and the Soul; I think there is not much idea of pointing others and blaming them of their sins. I think there is lots of work in spiritual area of gazing the mirror more than the others. If the test is set by God, then there must be a good reason for it; and the reason isn't that the co-pathers can wise-ass each others better or for worse. These "deadly sins" are actually insults towards sacraments. Keeping something sacred over something else is a matter of soul level tribe, nomad. People have different light- and shadow-aspects in this life both in soul level as an day reality schooling. Not everybody is in the same level, not everybody have the same truths and not everybody can live their lives same way. Therefore we are given simple rule; do not judge so that you are not judged either. Also there is simple rule of trinity; you get everything tripled back what you give to others; so therefore keep it up in positive range. Is it nicer to receive blessings or cursings by oneself? One can choose what one spreads; blessings or poisons.
First one is Greed. This is considered both food and money; either one isn't spiritually good for people. Through the lense of the misery aspect people who are afraid of being judged of greed tend to choose a life where life is lived either in hunger or "hand to mouth". Greed is the root of stealing and desire of other's goods, because one is never feeling abundant of the "now-moment-standards". In the spiritual path many need to face the fact that they do have everything that's filling their basic needs; Job was challenged by a void, when everything was taken away from him, his family and his fortune. Jesus met the Devil in the desert; He was shown fortunes of the world if He gave up his calling. He didn't. Therefore message has been understood, that one shouldn't ask for more than wandering around after the footprints of Jesus. I think it was His personal, karmic challenge; not a challenge for everybody.
Second one is Debauchery. This is attached to sexual needs and pleausre in any other form than urge of creating offspring. Ability to enjoy the human life in the human body has been denied, because Jesus Himself has been created a legendary figure who denied Himself His body and other bodily needs, like safety, totally. No records of His assumed family life has been saved; and His assumed love affair betwen Him and Mary Magdalen has been shushed deeply; could He really have been fucking with a hooker? Well, as a rebellion of His age, thinking of His actual and documented boredom of "wise Fariseans", that might be exactly what He wanted to do. Shake the world, with love and by making love. During that age sex wasn't propably thought to have anything to do with love, at least in marriage. Therefore sexual abuse as a power and status reflection was more common form, than having a loving relationship with someone. Sex was good only in marriage, and they were set more of a familiar financial needs than the personal needs. Keeping the sexual actions in limited settings kept the amount of offspring and sexually transmitted diseases in controlled limits. Is the term standing for "committed and ruled" and against "spontaneous and pleasurable"? If Jesus lived out now when condom is there, what would He say about loving sex between strangers and making love between spouses? Seems to me that denial of pleasure in the marriage is more of a rule than exception.
Third one is Envy. There isn't long jump from envy to greed; why does someone have more than one does; why the others can do different things than others; why does that one have this kind of spouse when one has only this kind? Why is the grass greener on the other side of the fence? People have had very little power over their own lives during earlier centuries. Class, social standards, wars and set marriages have created many troubles. Nowadays people can change their lives, if only understood their power over their own lives. Envy closes heart and slows down the creation of the Good for the Self. One can use the envy as a tool of observing "true needs". And if envied something; is it really an issue or something more behind it? If someone is envy about other's money, is it really about the money but the things they can do with the money? Is it about the food, the apartment, the safety or the work? Big questions. Hammering down the fences gives more opportunities and one gives oneself a great favour when just stops being envious and fetches whatever there is truly needed.
Fourth one is Pride. This leads to enslaving others, others feeling envious and "those on top" snarling over "lower forms of life". Some people think, that if one appreciates ones' good work or talents and uses them good, one is too proud. Also honoring oneself and ones' roots is considered false pride. People tend to think that lowing oneself as an unworthy scumbag is being honourable state of mind, I think it's only false and cringing. We all have a purpose, we all have talents. Who are we to judge that they're not worth using and being proud of? Not everybody is in the same line, not everybody can do the same, and not everybody can do everything; but everybody can do something and for a good reason - to fulfill the life's purpose in the first place. Being proud of what one has got isn't false pride and boasting. It's realism. Pride, strength and honor are the basis of health; they form the first triangle of 12-leveled chakra system and balanced emotions are basis of health in a Chinese meridian system.
Fifth one is Laziness. This stands for "easy life" and focus is on "unmeaningful life". This is straight insult of community service; if one doesn't do one's task, others have to do more and this causes unstable state in community. This is also a base of envy for some and cause of hatred for others; how come by status some people have to do nothing and some need to work around the clock? Magic is also banned for this reason; everything comes "too easy". Maybe this is the reason why creative energy is considered as a threat overall. Those who tend to "live by the others' wings" are considered to abuse good will. Consideration of "working structures" vary from culture to another; institutionalized western culture can't understand the style of life of herding or hunting people in tribal communities. Judging about the lazy style of life is also enslaving; how much work is enough? What kind of work is right? Can one enjoy the work one is doing? If the work is "easy" and "joyful", is it work at all? Is the high amount of misery a sign of "good work"? Criminals and rich people are often accused "laziness", even though being criminal might mean a lot of work, it is not just conisdered "good work" and avoiding work can be a work in itself. Flashing people the masks how and what is considered "good" is a work of art.
Sixth one is Orgy, known also as Gluttony. This is in the line with Greed; too much to enjoy, too much to get wasted when others are fighting for survival and having nothing. Because of this ultimate accusation many people rather fight against the hunger than enjoy a great dinner. Sharing a bread is the sacrament, that is insulted with this. Feeling miserable and having to fight over surviving is considered better than a feast. Maybe people think that having enough food and maybe some sex over dinner causes unwillingness to go to work for others? Maybe it is thaught that this kind of ancient Roman Luxury is rottening the human nature and causing the system to collapse? Another form of the chaos? What if people only wanted to celebrate and never work? Oh dear.
Seventh one is Anger, or Hatred. This one closes the heart and changes close people to enemies and other people from humans to inhumans. Hatred can be caused by anything I told above; one negative feeling raises levels and gets fed, the result is rage that gets uncontrollable forms like murders, thefts, rapes, torture and other unpleasanties. Hot tempered people do mistakes in a moment that they get to regret a long time, but those who slowly feed the beast do the unpleasanties in a way they are happy about for the rest of their lives, because they feel it was righteous. On of the five Reiki virtues is "to face the anger every day and let it go". Denial of the frustrations that lead to hatred or denial of the hatred serves no one. It comes visible in many forms - also in judgements. Both enslaved and enslavers suffer of anger, so do the shameful. Why isn't anything enough and why is love denied?
It feels odd that none of these "deadly sins" are actually no actions, they are emotions that can lead to criminal actions. Recognizing the feelings isn't easy, maybe people have lessoned themselves to deny all of the bad feelings and therefore get other way around of the "banning forever". My work is mostly giving peoples' feelings a name, therefore it makes me sick that people block so much of themselves. A heavy thunderball in a marital crisis can conclude all of these. It's a very human reaction, when being judged and rejected harshly. It doesn't have to be a sin to be a human; and it shouldn't be a deadly sin to born with feelings. I think it's better that people recognized the emotions, named them and let them go. Burned, washed, and then changed their ways. Good way is also to find a group that can help overcoming these issues.
If one is doomed of being human, then everyone needs to face the same. If everyone is forgiven their human ways, then everybody gets the access to the Paradise. Why to judge in a first place? The Cross was supposed to be the final sacrifice. People can choose to be good towards each other and guard each other, especially kids, from those who are not acting nice. But to tell, as a voice of God, that these emotions and maybe forms of life in this life are the final call to the Hell? I don't think it's wise to anyone to raise a hand in gamble of throwing stones. It's easier to say; please forgive them because they don't know what they're doing.
