Chapter 28: Guilt
There seems to be an endless amount of guilt stories on differing timelines within the script. It’s really the same guilt story, though that keeps coming up in different flavors, continually pointing to the one main theme. You are guilty. Like the steam that continually rises from a pot of boiling water, these guilt-infused storylines just seem to keep surfacing. We think we are guilty of something we have done or are doing in a body in the world. However, this seemingly guilty thought before you is really a reflection of the tiny mad idea. Because you think you chose to separate from God and believe you destroyed love. From this one belief of separation now comes the ego’s entire viral software, embedded with thousands of dream scripts. It's downloaded and encrypted, with thousands of guilt thoughts and scenarios to be played out.
I am guilty because I am not a good enough mother or father.
I am guilty because I just can't seem to get this Course in Miracles right.
I am guilty because my business failed.
I am guilty because my partner left me, and I am unworthy of love.
Or whatever the guilt thoughts are, which will be unique and specific to the narrative of your avatar. So when a guilty thought presents itself now it has nothing to do with form or a body, it’s an attempt to engender the false belief in separation. Go directly to the hard drive of the ego's program and unplug it by affirming. I am not guilty because I never separated from God, nothing happened. You are not guilty because you never separated from God, nothing happened.
How long is all this going to take? Will this theme of guilt ever end? Well, the ego’s ending is tainted with the punishment and condemnation of God’s Son, fuelled by the belief in death and destruction of the body. However, Jesus states: The world will end in an illusion, as it began. The illusion of forgiveness is complete, excluding no one, limitless in gentleness, will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for now, it has no purpose and is gone. Ah, come on, how much more guilt could there possibly be? As Jesus reveals in the Manual for Teachers, the world was made by guilt. Wow. Now that’s quite a bit of guilt right there.
Jesus highlights here how the process of forgiveness is actually quiet, and it does nothing, it merely looks, waits, and judges not. It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. It merely looks and waits, and judges not. We may not know how much guilt we are undoing each time we get quiet and gently look. Or how much is left to go, nonetheless we must keep looking. We must step away from this perpetual slinging back and forward of guilt as it seems to unconsciously get pushed out onto another and then at times erupts from within. We throw unholy mud out there as an attempt to cleanse ourselves of the false belief of the staining of sin tarnished within. So we try to sling dirt outward onto our brother's body, to bring some momentary relief from the excruciating pain that we ourselves believe we are in fact the guilty ones. Once some obstacles are cleared away, you will see the obvious mechanics of the ego and how its main goal is to keep feeding the belief in guilt in order to keep it alive like some ravenous sinister wolf.
As Jesus shares here: The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt, and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin that they can find, losing none of them on pain of death. They lay them respectfully before their lord and master. Its messengers steal guiltily away in hungry search of guilt, for they are kept cold and starving and made very vicious by their master, who allows them to feast only upon what they return to him. No little shred of guilt escapes their hungry eyes. And in their savage search for sin, they pounce on any living thing they see and carry it screaming to their master, to be devoured. Jesus' use of such potent, fierce words really highlights the bloody viciousness of guilt. He's really trying to hit this home to us. Wow. Pretty intense, huh? If you believe you are guilty, you will believe you deserve to be punished, and the ego’s punishment is death. So to believe in guilt is to believe in death.
Yet, as you cultivate quiet time with the Holy Spirit, there becomes more space between you and the thought of guilt. This gives you the ability to decide whether or not to join with it. Although, at these seeming earlier stages it feels like we need to unwind and unravel all the guilt thoughts and feelings like straightening out a messy extension cord for your vacuum cleaner. The Holy Spirit similar to a vacuum cleaner will clean out all the illusory guilt thoughts leading you to the one core false belief that you separated from God. Because once we can look there at the belief in the tiny mad idea and that there was no actual separation. The separation did not occur; we can then pull the plug on all the guilt storylines embedded into the chapters of time printed out onto dreams scripts. Affirm again: I am not guilty because I never separated from God, nothing happened. I am as God created me. Remember, as you undo the guilt in your mind, you are undoing the world.
And more formidable words here from Jesus: Prisoners bound with heavy chains for years, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted, and with eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, don't leap up in joy the instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand what freedom is. You groped but feebly in the dust and found your brother’s hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to take hold of life so long forgotten. Strengthen your hold and raise your eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness remained untouched and perfect, and with him beside you, you shall this day enter with him to Paradise, and know the peace of God. My comment. In order to undo the guilt in the mind, you look at it without guilt or judgment and forgive what never happened. But one of the main components of that forgiveness process is to take responsibility for your mind's mis-creation. Without that component, you're just spinning your wheels.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hpK4cxmJm
