9. Hereditary Sin
The hereditary sin came from the first fall.
The sin, that is, the wrong action, was the excessive reliance on the intellect, resulting in the voluntary chaining to space and time along with the ensuing side effects of the precise intellect work, such as greed for greed, cunning, oppression, and so forth, which have many other, actually, all evils in their wake.
This process, of course, had a gradually increasing influence on the development of the physical body in the purely intellectual human. The frontal brain, which generates the intellect, became increasingly larger due to continuous effort, and it was therefore natural that these changing forms were expressed in the reproduction of the earthly body during procreation, resulting in children being born with ever more developed, stronger forebrain.
However, in this lay, and still lies today, the predisposition to a dominating intellectual power over all other things, which carries the danger that, upon full awakening, the bearers of the brain becomes not only firmly chained to space and time, that is, to all earthly gross matter, thus rendering them incapable of grasping the ethereal and the purely spiritual, but will also entangles them in all evils that remain unavoidable under the supremacy of the intellect.
The inheritance of this voluntarily bred forebrain, in which lies the risk of purely intellectual domination, alongside the inevitable evil side effects, is the original sin!
Thus, with the physical inheritance of the part now designated cerebrum, through its artificially increased development, humans bring with them at birth a danger that can very easily entangle them in evil.
However, this does not absolve them of responsibility. It remains with them; for they only inherit the danger, not the sin itself. It is not at all necessary that they should let the intellect rule unconditionally and thereby submit to it. On the contrary, they can use the great power of their intellect like a sharp sword to clear the way for themselves in their earthly workings, as guided by their intuition, also known as the inner voice.
However, if a child’s intellect is elevated to unlimited dominion through education and training, then a part of the guilt, or rather, the repercussions from the Law of Reciprocal Action, fall away from the child, since this part affects the educator or teacher who caused it. He is bound to the child from that moment until the latter is freed from the error and its consequences, even if it takes centuries or millennia.
But what a child brought up in this way then does, after being offered serious opportunity for reflection and change, the retroactive effect would be entirely upon them. Such opportunities come through spoken or written words, through upheavals in life or similar events that force a moment of deep intuitive feeling. They never fail to come. ––
It would be pointless to speak about this any further, as it would only involve continuous repetitions in all the highlights, which must all converge in one point. Anyone who thinks about it will soon have a veil lifted from their eyes and find the answers to many questions within themselves.
