Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unobtainable.
What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the
distorted seem more clear? What else but sin engenders our attacks? What
else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and
suffering? And what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring
God’s creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?

“Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love,
nor seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You
are the Source of everything that is. And everything that is remains with
You and You with it.”
