Historically, humanity has held two illusions that have had dire consequences on our ability to love unconditionally: 1) That we are separate from God; and 2) That we are flawed at birth. Combined, these two illusions have caused humanity to feel unworthy at their core since the very beginning. "Apostle Paul: The Untold Story" explains that these illusions and the unworthiness they cause were the compelling force behind the creation of the Apostle's belief that Jesus was his savior. In addition, it reveals a new revelation, that when he was knocked off his horse on the way to Damascus, Jesus revealed to the Apostle that he, like Jesus, was God also and that in fact all humans are divine beings having a human experience. However, this was too much to fathom given the amount of guilt and shame he harbored and thus, he simply could not accept it, and instead chose to formulate his saved by the blood theology and was then compelled to spread this idea in a rather pedantic way. Taking an in-depth look into the Apostle's mindset, "Apostle Paul" clarifies why Paul held such guilt and shame and exposes that what we see in his written word is a desperate desire for healing and a belief in the need to suffer to earn God's approval. Later, when the Church spread their faith, it was their strong identification with these deep-seated beliefs of Paul that caused them to become the underlying beliefs within the consciousness of Western Civilization so that today nearly all humans feel unworthy at their core, harbor an addiction to suffering, and constantly need to look outside themselves for acceptance and approval.
