It is only by identifying with sinners that a man can truly understand and experience the effects of sin. This is much different than having a single focus of faith to reduce sin or to create a Utopian sinless society. The real man is in the middle of the struggle with sin in a connection to community. In other words, a real man experiences sin and its effects not just as an individual, but also as part of a community of sinners. This makes the struggle against sin much more complex and difficult, but ultimately more rewarding.We are like imperfect Robin Hoods in the sense that we try to take from the world of desire and make it reality. Our personal identity is our influence going outward. So whatever we consider important is what we try to make a reality. In doing so, we sometimes cut ourselves off from things that only exist in our imagination. To truly understand the power dynamics at work, we must have a deep understanding of the infected and the communities they live in. We can use our personal mode of infection to affect our community, and we can also take on a false identity as closely as possible to the sin.We are powerless individuals who create longings that come from a supernatural source. As we learn more about the true nature of things, we are caught between the self-righteous and sinners. We are not easily understood. This is why we must get to the whole disposition of the active experience of these two worlds coming together in one Man! We experience two extremes – both passive and active, sinful and righteous, loving and hate. We need to experience redemption and cursing together in order to understand and experience mystery.The more we see the connections between life and reality, the more we realize that we want to be a part of reality. Our personal connections to reality are through our desires and not through our understanding of reality itself, because a mature person does not become frustrated by mystery. We live in a secular world where we are not only divided about the physical and spiritual, but we are also divided about the personal relationship to sinners. In other words, we each have our own way of interpreting reality, and we each have our own way of connecting to it. Some of us want to be a part of it, while others want to distance themselves from it. There is no one right way to be in the world, and we should respect each other's individual choices.The value we place on our cultural identity is greater than the value we place on being mere vessels for reproduction. However, the world has fallen into this dreadful state not because of the effects of secularism, but because of the imaginary religious mode of reproduction. Our personal identity is not much of an influence in this matter. In the this dimension, we experience mystery for the purpose of detaching ourselves from the imaginary world of the reproductive process. We become available as sinners.
