Q: Where does guilt come from?
C: The
false sense of being a separate 'me' with independent volition. That
sense of separateness is at the root of all suffering. It manifests as
"I" and then as guilt) a deep hidden inner conversation of being cause
of action (I did that) and the negative assessment of that action (I
should NOT have done that.) The should/should not is of course rooted in
the firm FALSE conviction that "I COULD do things differently!"
In short guilt and fear the products of belief in a false self with free will!!
That belief, when challenged DEEPLY (surface agreement or disagreement
will simply not do) evaporates in a mist of unknowing, the Natural and
Eternal State that I call the what-we-are-ness.
Takes a commitment and hard work, and yet, in actual fact, that commitment and hard work
are NOT in "your" control! It must arise from Source. Call it Grace;
when the question arises to really ask deep "who am I", "what IS
Eternal", and there is finally NO answer, that, the No-Answer-ness,
leaves one as one always was is will be ... space, aware of Being, just
That, no words. No description applies to this final seeing.
All the while YOU ARE and no one can tell you "you are not". Dwell in That, the simple Knowingness, I AM. Add nothing to I AM!
A remembrance: The Manifest Appearance is born of Being.
Being is born of Not-Being.
THAT - Not-Being - is the Eternal what-we-are-ness.
Being is born of Not-Being.
THAT - Not-Being - is the Eternal what-we-are-ness.
