Various words have been used throughout history in order to refer to negative emotional-energy. Terence de Malahèrre called this «sin» (negative emotions). What does a negative-emotion do? The greater the volume of negative-emotion, the more-likely the chance that one will engage in offensive-behaviour, and, for all intents and purposes, I will use the word «sin» here and CLARIFY its MEANING.
Sin is not what the «churches» or «religions» teach you; Sin is the combination of BOTH a VERB as well as a NOUN; as a NOUN, Sin is the Negative Emotional-Energy that «contaminates» any particular being (ISBE, Spirit, etc.), and, similar to how the greater the volume or influence of drugs-and-alcohol in a human physical-body (or maybe any physical-body; perhaps not necessarily limited to humans) results in more and more «irrational» behaviour, the greater the volume of «sin» (noun) within one's spirit-soul/ISBE then the MORE-LIKELY that said «contaminated» being engage in acts of «sinning» (verb) and thus causing harm unto others and/or themselves.
IT is THE MOST DEADLY «phenomenon» in ALL of existence; IT has SUCH a DECEPTIVE-CAPACITY to «Deceive» ANY whom are UNWARY of its Nature and Existence, SUCH that, IT HAS the CAPACITY to make WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSES OF POPULATIONS FALSELY BELIEVE that they are ALL «safe and saved & guaranteed entrance to heaven» when in REALITY they are ALL on a DOWNWARDS Trajectory into Eternal-ABYSS through their unknowing on-going use of IT which happens each time one uses its forceful-energy against others which ultimately results in the taking away of the free-will of another; one of the ways that it «tricks» EVERYONE into their use of IT is via «convincing» them that they MUST «pay taxes» and AS a result of being a «tax-payer» then they ARE complicit to ALL of the abuse, extortion, racketeering, kidnapping, human-trafficking, punishment, abuse, etc., that are done via the self-proclaimed corporate-government-officials in their name and on their behalf as the servants/employees of their employers the tax-payers.
The MORE that one CONTINUES to be «complicit» to causing «suffering» upon others (primarily applies to Sentient-Beings) or taking away others' free-will (primarily applies to Sentient-Beings) the MORE one becomes «contaminated» with this DEADLY Energy.
