This is the place of rest. In this realm one knows that "doing" flows out of "being". The essence of christianity is "being" - what one IS; rather than "doing" - what one does. One who is "retired" is "above the fray." This one does not involve himself in the "doctrinal debates", for that is what those who are "outside" do.
"He that overcomes, I will make him a pillar (permanent fixture) in the sanctuary of My God, and OUTSIDE shall he nowise go forth any more....." - Revelations 3:12 -
This one has left behind all the systems of earth, especially the religious one. It is all actually one system of which religion is merely an aspect, called Babylon. It is a mental outlook; a world view; a way of seeing; a "faith", which is FEAR. It is "what if?" It is the foundation for all systems that man has erected for his own salvation/security; politics, government, education, science, medicine, religion, etc.
This retirement or place of rest means freedom from care. Unconcernedness. Here one knows the Father is directing (not allowing)all things according to His purposes. He is not concerned with all the so-called evil in the world. They who practice it are corrected by it. See Psalms 2:1-5 and Proverbs 1:24-32.
The essence of sin is self consciousness.
Gen3:6-7=".....then she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and she gave to her husband also along with her and he did eat. Then were opened the eyes of them both and they knew that they were naked......." - Genesis 3:6-7 -
They became conscious of themselves......Maybe more on this later.
