There was no escape for the souls that emerged here; we were condemned for all eternity to live this way. Until someone from outside the simulation saw these souls trapped in the illusion and chose to enter so that, through the introduction of truth, he could free the beings who resided here in illusion. Jesus is a being who saw the simulation being created and had to intervene out of love to free the souls from this hologram, from this fragmented illusion of reality.
When you think that goodness alone is enough, you are mistaken. The path is truth; you need truth to free yourself from illusion. If you live only by goodness, but apart from truth, even by doing only good things you will be nourishing the illusion—the illusion that you were ever separate from the whole. The illusion of separateness that creates the ego and imprisons you in suffering. So, even doing good, you remain trapped for not knowing the truth.
