Angel’s Lesson in Morality: Black Sin, Red Sin

Angel’s Lesson in Morality: Black Sin, Red Sin

Once an Angel came to me in a Dream and lectured me upon the two sorts of Sin (the Angel had even come with a chalkboard and a pointer) -- there is that kind of Sin that damns one to Hell, and there is the other kind of Sin that attaches only to the body and dies away when the body dies. These two types of Sin are called, by the Angels "Black Sin" and "Red Sin".


The Black Sins are premeditated evil – Evil done in cold blood, Evil done for profit. The intentional and deliberate crimes that victimize and exploit others is Black Sin. And so it is that Black Sins can be identified as primarily driven by egotistical individuality. Black Sins set against Community and Collectivity and defy Social Cooperation. Black Sins are the blows that bring down Civilizations.

The Red Sins, on the other hand, are the crimes of passion and appetite. Red Sins are the sins of the flesh. Every Red Sin is somewhat akin to that of a hungry man stealing a loaf of bread. If the appetite could be removed, so would be removed any impulse to commit such a Sin. And this is exactly what happens when the body passes away, the soul is liberated from the Red Sins.


The worst that can be attributed to the Red Sins is that Souls can become habituated and identified with such behaviors – as in the case of a man who makes a hobby of sex or gluttony, and takes pride in such things, to the point in which such behaviors become integral to his definition of ‘self’. The soul who leaves the body and transitions toward a spiritual existence will feel lost if all of its priorities and sense of identity had been aligned around these bodily appetites that had of necessity dropped away when the body dropped away.


If the Soul should identify itself with these old carnal appetites, then they will survive as something of ghost-like remnants – thought forms, or karmic contaminations. These will weigh upon the Soul, or cloud the soul’s clarity. The Soul much stained by Red Sin, clinging to the old appetites, will find itself too dense, and to dark to tolerate the Light of Heaven. You see, to the Pure and Clear Soul the Light of Heaven is a Pure Joy. But to the Dark Soul, the Light is absorbed and turns to Heat. Well, this heat is both a Blessing and a Curse for the impure Soul. It Purifies but it does so painfully. The Higher an impure Soul can ascend into the Spiritual Realms, by sheer Spiritual Ambition, then the more Light it can then absorb, creating the heat that can burn away any trace of the Red Sins. This is Purgatory. But the Heat does indeed ‘burn’ – it is uncomfortable. The Soul requires a degree of positive motivation to tolerate such discomfort. The Soul needs to be reassured that the same Light that comes at first as Heat will eventually become Pure Bliss once its Purgative Functions have been completed.


We can see how certain Catholic Practices incline toward speeding up the process of diminishing the Red Sins. Catholics are encouraged to entirely discontinue sins of passion and appetite. Fasts are common, and in the Religious Orders, celibacy is insisted upon.


When the strength of appetites and passions are beyond the power of the Will to contain them, than remorse, repentance, and atonement are expected. It is hoped that by this, that after death, the Soul will gladly let these appetites simply fall away and not clutch at them – not allowing them their downward pull into the realms of the ghosts and the demons. A Soul only has to sincerely regret his Red Sins and feel relieved that the motivating physical appetites are gone, that is, transcended, for the “Red Karma” to drop away at death.


Therefore the Red Sins are not necessarily impediments to Heaven, or what we would call the Higher Spiritual or Angelic Realms.


Oh, by the way, there is a type of Dream that prepares us for dealing with our Red Sins. Reoccurring Dreams in which we are aware of being lost or having lost some desired possession. The ‘trick’ which we must learn from such Dreams is to let go of what was Lost. We must move forward and not look back. We must forget what was “lost” and look forward to new things. This practiced ability for Transcendence will become useful at the moment of our Death when we will by our engrained practice not look back, not feel ‘lost’ for having lost our lives, lost our bodies, lost our life-long acquaintances, friends and family, and that we will not search for our lost appetites and lost habits of the body. Not looking for what was Lost, our Souls will be untethered and free to Rise to the Higher Spiritual Levels. Indeed, even before our Death, we can use our Dreams transcendently, and we can infer the quality of our Afterlife by the quality of Our Dreams.


What makes the Black Sins so much more worse? Well, there is the inherent Individuality. Intentional Predators are simply unfit for Company. Anti-Social Beings are spun out from and rejected from Spiritual Society. The completely different ‘vibration’ of these predators would resolve into separate levels – different stratums. It reminds me of the difference between Song Birds and the birds that give harsh and ugly calls. All Song Birds are seed eaters and they respect each other’s nests and territories irrespective of species, but consider each other friends and neighbors in their Songs, and in the early morning meadow one can hear each different song bird take its turn as the songs go round and round. But the predatory birds sound the alarm against even themselves. Their voice marks them as devils. And so it is in the Astral Worlds where the predatory devils can no longer hide behind lies, but are revealed by their very vibrations. If they can keep any company at all, they must enjoy the company of other Predators.

This brings us to the discussion of what Hell must really be like. The predatory souls would have to have something much like a Metaphysical Jungle which could only be a ‘Paradise’ for the most powerful and dominant of the Predators, in the same way that we understand that ‘lions’ are the Kings of the Jungle. In Hell only the most efficient and effective Predators could have any margin of ease or comfort. So it is that we know from legend that there must be some Chief of Hell, a Satan, a Lucifer. not because of any special Dispensation from God, but because Satan, by his own skill and abilities is simply equipped to be the most effective and triumphant Predator. In the same way that we can assert that all Barbarians are Evil, but that some Barbarians are better at being Barbarians than others, so it is that we should expect that those such as Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun might be enjoying their “Hell” a great deal more than those less potent and expert in their capacities for Evil.
