70th Live Stream with Carlton Pearson - Sexual, Sensual, Social and Spiritual Beings

About this sermon

We are all sexual, sensual, social and spiritual beings. Finding our way through the long distance soul journey is an art, science and grace most struggle with all their lives. Sin consciousness, something Jesus never taught or encouraged, both prohibits and prevents self-love, something we must learn and re-learn to do, especially when we're brought up in a kind of "hate yourself" religious climate as many were and continue to be, whether, Christian, Jewish or Islamic. Sin consciousness is something with which most hyper-religious people seem to be severely "afflicted" and must be treated as if it's a life threatening disease. It causes more anxiety, fear and delusional thinking than most clinically diagnosed mental illnesses do. We all have issues, which are to us important topics or problems for debate or discussion. That is in fact what life basically is to most people; negotiating and navigating thru problems or challenges we lay importance to, right? This is why I post much of what I do on my pages. I am trying to help people navigate and negotiate their soul's journey without being distracted by a false but to them real sense of lack, alienation and isolation, especially from God. We are all inextricably connected to Source (God) and to each other. Anything else is an illusion.
