Sin

spiritual term:

Sin

To miss the mark of who we really are. A term used by archers when aiming at a target and missing the bull’s-eye. Sin is a state of unconsciousness in which we are not only unaware of our essence, or our heart, but also resist being who we really are because of years of societal conditioning. Whenever we resist the voice of our true being, we are betraying ourselves—we are “sinning.”
