The Only Error

This from Kirsten--

"There is only one error.
It is the belief that I am not as God created me.

"This one error includes the belief that My brother is not as God created him.
It is the same error. It has the same solution.

"The one solution, the one correction of this mistake,
Is Atonement, the forgiveness of my error. "

[The Atonement, or undoing of error, consists of
not seeing what never occurred.]

hearken back to the Schma in the Jewish tradition*:

"Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the lord is One"

Append: The Lord is One, I and the Lord is One. We are One.


"My Brother and I are One.
My Father and I are One."

As a side note: here are RaMBaN's* Principles of Faith (--one can clearly see the distinction between good and evil--the duality. However, if the Lord is One, there what power can arise to oppose Him? Don't these statements not express the Unity of Creator with the Creation, or leave them unstated? In this iteration, the Schma does not go as far as Kirsten in her extensions) :

God exists God is one and unique.

God is incorporeal.

God is eternal Prayer is to be directed to God alone and to no other.

The words of the prophets are true.

Moses's prophecies are true, and

Moses was the greatest of the prophets.

The Written Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) and Oral Torah (teachings now contained in the Talmud and other writings) were given to Moses.

There will be no other Torah.

God knows the thoughts and deeds of men.

God will reward the good and punish the wicked.

The Messiah will come.

The dead will be resurrected.
