TGOG: TEXT; 2; I. The Origins of Separation

What are the origins of the separation? We perceived ourselves as "imperfect," and then attempted to fulfill a lack and make ourselves "perfect" again. But this Perfection was already our God-Created Reality. We "separated" our awareness from this original state of being, then tried "making up a self" to fill a deep sense of "lack." The Atonement heals all of this misperception. It sees that the "mistake" never really occurred, and our God-Created Self never left us.
