Question: I am having difficulty imagining this scenario. Even if a person may be completely alike with another, one still knows that one is a different person from the other. Can you please explain this?

God’s answer:

I AM the vine, you are the branches.
There is one identity. You are not you. I am not I.
We are us. There is SOLIDARITY. We are one.

Question: How does it feel to not have a sense of self?

No individuality
You are one and the other. You cannot distinguish yourself from the rest. Neither can anyone else.

Why did God allow angels and man to fall from grace? The common answer is FREE WILL.

Question: Is free will really a gift? If so, why would You give us free will knowing it can lead to our downfall? Also, if this is so, then why do we pray: “Thy will be done”?

God’s answer:

Neck brace, with the word
INDEPENDENCE and a lock, with
the word SELF

Heart of a sinner

Ball and chain. On the ball is written: FREE WILL

Hands tied behind the
back with the word:
CHOICE

You shall sin no more.

Meaning: Free will is defined as "the ability to choose how to act; the ability to make choices that are not controlled by fate or God".⁷ Free will is not “a gift”. It is what causes us to sin.
