Are Humans really flawed by nature? I have never been able to buy into this concept. I think that we are created in the image of God, that we are by nature God incarnate when we are born, and that we are socialized into unskillful means of thinking and behaving as we grow older. We let our egos run the show and become self centered and tend to error in our ways. I believe that our main purpose in life is to get back to that state of innocence, trust, fearlessness and the ability to completely live in the present moment we had as little children. Jesus said that you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven except that you be as a little child, and he said that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Now. Anytime we choose to be in the present. Like a little child.
