The unconscious guilt that you carry “as standard” causes you such suffering that you want to expel it to get rid of it. You create and attract situations to give yourself the opportunity to project it onto others. You think that it is the other person who has made you feel bad when in reality you were already feeling bad before the other person appeared and you have taken advantage of their presence to unload your inner swamp onto them. You will apparently feel better, but that guilt will return to you amplified because deep down you know that you have attacked or judged an innocent person by projecting your own guilt onto them. And in turn, you will feel fear of their possible reaction against you. This is the basic mechanism of guilt feedback that the ego uses to keep you in suffering and fear.
The phrase “the other does not exist” is very striking, and you may ask yourself: how is that possible if I can see them there, right in front of me? What you see is nothing more than the limited information captured by your physical senses and interpreted through the prism of the ego. What you see is distorted by your inner filters. Your perception is an interpretation of what is happening outside.
This first step of recognizing that what you see or feel has only to do with you, as it is your inner state projected like a movie superimposed on the screen of the world, is fundamental to beginning the path of inner healing. You take responsibility for the fact that what causes you to suffer has only to do with you. And in this sense, you will suffer until you tire of suffering.
How can you escape suffering? The solution is very simple, although very difficult to put into practice, since you have spent thousands of lives suffering by following the ego. When you encounter any situation or relationship in which you have judged, criticized, attacked, or felt fear, it is because you have seen it “through the glasses of the ego” due to the unconscious guilt that lurks in the depths of your mind. They say that we usually spend more than 95% of our time wearing the ego's glasses, which is why our suffering is almost continuous.
Considering that in your misguided mind, that of the ego, time does not exist, you continue to suffer, which is the effect of the judgments and attacks you have made in your life. As you begin to become aware, you realize that when faced with a new situation, you judge again. That's okay, it's normal because of your lack of mental training. You thought that way when you wore the glasses of the ego, and now you decide you want to see it differently, with the glasses of Love. Since you cannot solve the problem from the same level that you created it (ego), you need to rise above the battlefield and ask for help from your essence, your wisest part, your Being, or you can also ask the Holy Spirit or Jesus, since they are all the same: a reflection of the Source or God. Mentally, you can say, "I want to see this in a different way. I surrender it to you", and when the time is right, a new perspective on the situation will come to you through the lens of Love, which will give you peace. This change in perception is called true forgiveness, and it removes fragments of unconscious guilt from your inner swamp.
Suffering has only one cause: unconscious guilt, and only one solution: true forgiveness.
As you practice true forgiveness in the countless situations that arise each day, you will feel more and more peace when you see them through the eyes of Love. You will become less reactive and more compassionate. You will begin to see beyond the physical form, feeling that deep down we are all one United Mind.
True forgiveness helps us understand that the person who acts in an unloving way is under the influence of fear, following their ego, and what they are really crying out for, even if they don't know it, is Love.
Nothing external can make us lose our inner peace if we choose to see it in terms of Love: it is either an extension or a request for Love.
