Hi Ce Ce,
Yes indeed! All sin ultimately hurts oneself just as surely as it does the other. And when Self is realized, it seems foolish to do something which will hurt oneself.
Nevertheless, it seems that realization of Self is an ongoing, deepening process, and mistakes can be made along the way. That certainly is my experience. These "mistakes" aren't necessarily sins in that they are willful violations of moral laws, but errors in judgment about eating, exercise, drink, mental exertion, etc. The clarity of Self is lost when such mistakes are made, resulting in a more clouded and fragmented consciousness. I can and do hurt others during such times, and so must take responsibility for my actions.
At any rate, it seems to me that a perfect, continuous realization of Self is a pretty rare phenomenon, which is why I responded that the possibility of sin/harmful acts exists even for people who have come to this awareness.
Thanks for your insightful post. I hope to get that kundalini section of the web site up some time during the next month or so.
Peace,
Phil
