Thus I conclude that Q is NOT some kind of "New Age" gibberish.

Religion ruins perspective on humanity. Well meaning Christians may well be mislead about the goodness of humanity.

Adam chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the soul of mankind is influenced by the serpent, but it is not evil, it is in bondage to corruption.

The only way out of our bondage to corruption is through the last Adam, Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

That is not new age gibberish, it is the Christian faith.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Having faith in humanity is believing that humanity is good, and needs released from its bondage to corruption.

Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Now how can you have faith in yourself?

We learn to see the new creation in ourselves, and we learn to see it in the whole creation.

Romans 8:21 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

I think that is what we are doing here on earth, working as Christ in the world delivering the creation from the bondage of corruption.

We are the many membered Christ in the world.

1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Christ is one body.
