Are we children of the earth or also children of the light? We are dual natured.

Of course. objective Conscience always was and provides our awareness of objective value in relation to our source.. Its truth is grounded in God. Its origin is God. It is demonic to seriously challenge God or universal purpose from human pride or vanity. Fortunately all this cursing out God or the Christ only effects the outer man or personality so easily forgiven as meaningless. To sin against the Holy Spirit effects the inner man so only a few are capable of it and best avoided.
"To whom do we belong? This is the core question of the spiritual life. Do we belong to the world, its worries, its people and its endless chain of urgencies and emergencies, or do we belong to God and God's people."
Doesn't it make more sense that the purpose of the human soul when we have one, is to receive from above and give to below? This means knowing how to take care of the earth from a higher conscious perspective rather then abusing it and justifying it through secular hypocrisy?
