At another related level there is no real existence until sin is transcended. All actions and states of knowledge and experience are empty, painful, problematic, and sinful until the presumption of separation from the The Living Divine Being is transcended.
There is no truly human life without Divine-Communion, or the submission/surrender of the entire conscious and functional being to the Absolute Divine Reality within which it appears, on which it depends completely, even for the next breath.
Without such Divine communion, there is no True Humanity, no Real Responsibility, and no True Freedom. Without such Divine-Communion the individual is simply a gross-level (one-dimensional) functional entity living an unconscious pre-patterned adventure of functional relations. There is no Sacred or Divine plane to his or her awareness.
Which aspect/dimension of your body-mind-complex is going to hold-the-line, so to speak - especially as your left-brained thinking mind is quite superficial ( one-dimensional even), and extending from what Iain McGilchrist tells us it shuts down on a moment-to-moment basis the very possibility of the awakening to the intrinsic psychic and spiritual dimensions of our body-mind-complex (which are our True Source of Sustenance). We are thus quite literally starving to death both individually and collectively.
Where do you begin and end? Especially as every aspect/dimension of your body-mind-complex is the effect/creation of a complex pattern of karmas. the karmas or habit patterns of every individual are effective at every level: physical, emotional, mental, unconscious, subconscious, conscious, waking, dreaming, and sleeping too. And those karmas extend beyond the individual body-mind to include others, objects, and environments at every level, visible or gross, and invisible or subtle, known and unknown - past, present, and future.
That having been said all beings, including the non-humans, require Divine Compassion, Love, and Blessing - the Thread of Communion with The Living Divine Reality made Certain and True, and directly experienced.
