In the past two days I have come across the following quotes. It is easy to blame some outside source for our Fall. We were given Free Will, and this is what we chose. A lot of truth in that song by INXS: Devil Inside!
From Michael Roads: A great irony of life is that unwittingly, humanity is the opposition to God. By maintaining ignorance and believing in separation, we create and maintain nothing but opposition to the holistic Truth of God. […] Every war, every deliberate lie, all our anger, our negativity, adverse criticism, self-righteousness, Self-denial, on and on, all this constitutes our unrealised opposition to God.
From Aurelio Peccei, co-founder of the infamous Club of Rome: For the first time since the first millennium was approached in Christendom, large masses of people are really in suspense about the impending advent of something unknown which could change their collective fate entirely.... Man does not know how to be a truly modern man.... Man invented the story of the Bad Dragon, but if ever there was a bad dragon, IT IS MAN HIMSELF.... Here we have the human paradox: man trapped by his extraordinary capacity and achievements, as in a quick- sand - the more he uses his power the more he needs it. […] Since man has opened Pandora's Box of new technologies, he has suffered uncontrolled human proliferation, the mania for growth, energy crises, actual or potential resource scarcities, degradation of environment, nuclear folly and a host of related afflictions.
In the story of the Fall, Angels – or the sons of God - came down and intermingled with daughters of Man. We are the descendants. We act like passive victims of Fate, rather than acknowledge the base qualities of Human Nature.
