When you free yourself of guilt, you live in peace within. You take on
responsibility and stop sentencing (punishing) yourself internally with
feelings of guilt. *Taking on responsibility is constructive; it allows all
your potential to remain awake and flow.* You feel free and unburdened. When
you get it wrong, you can find different methods to relieve yourself of the
burden that it might imply. For example, *being sorry for or feeling sad for
something that you have done means that you are aware that you have acted
against your own wellbeing or that of another. Realizing it is good; it is
the base for any positive change.* The important thing is not to sentence
(punish) yourself. Learn the lesson. Say sorry, if it is the right thing.
Put it right.
Remember that yesterday has already passed. The past cannot be changed. You
can't swallow the words that you said, since you already said them. You
can't repeat the scene from yesterday in a different way because it already
happened and stayed recorded on the film of this world drama. Therefore,
don't repeat the words or the scene in your mind over and over again; doing
that, you keep alive something that is dead, since yesterday already stayed
behind. Learn from the error and commit yourself to you and to your life,
promising to yourself that you will not fall over the same stone again. You
will think about it before speaking or acting.
If there are people or situations that lead you to fall over the same stone
i.e. they lead you to make the same mistake, which was committed earlier,
again, *perhaps you will have to avoid them for a few days or a time, until
you have strengthened yourself and have the inner security that they will
not influence you.* This is not running away; it is wise knowing your
weaknesses and knowing that to get into similar situations with the same
people is only to repeat the same errors and to worsen your wellbeing and
that of the other. Trust in yourself. You can overcome these mistakes and
stop making them. It is a question of loving yourself and living. Out of
love, you stop hurting yourself and hurting the other.
Crying over past mistakes, you don't mend anything. Open yourself to
forgiveness. *Raise the level of your thoughts so that they don't keep you
in a state of sadness and loss of hope.* Don't allow your inner judge to
sentence (punish) you each time that you act, since that way you won't feel
free. Your judge that you carry within makes your life bitter; however, it
is you that gives this judge the capacity to exist. *If the inner judge is
in harmony with our conscience, it is good, because it wants to
protect us.*On creating guilt it warns us that we have broken a rule
of our code of
beliefs, values or behaviors. It alerts us to the fact that we are acting
against something important of ourselves. At those moments it helps us to
observe and question what is real, true, important and even sacred in our
life and for us.
