Sin (Greek: ἁμαρτία hamartia "to miss a goal", synonymous with Hebrew: חֵטְא chet "sin, guilt" used in the Old Testament; Latin: peccatum, derived from the Indo-European: *ped "to walk, fall, stumble", cf. Latin: pes "foot"), through which man imposes karmic guilt on himself, is a consequence of the Fall of Man caused by the Luciferic temptation, through which man was thrust into the sensual world and thereby increasingly withdrawn from the direct guidance of the gods. On the one hand, this opened the gate to freedom for man, through which he can bring his actions in thoughts, words and deeds into harmony with the will of the spiritual world by his own free decision and thereby enrich it through his individual contribution; on the other hand, if he, tempted by Lucifer and Ahriman, directs his egoistic desires towards the sensual world, he can also miss his spiritual goal of development and thereby fall into sin.
