The purpose of guilt is to bring to the immediate awareness of our mind an act or sentiment (originating in the mind) that is not in alignment with the nature of our soul.
Sadly, society as a whole together with religious institutions have over the centuries exploited guilt to bring about selfish control of others. Nevetheless, though we may be effective in controling the behavior of another by enhancing their guilt, this is but a superficial and short-term effect. True and lasting change is that which orignates from within a person - the longing of the mind to be in alignment with the soul.
Jesus never resorted to guilt; He only loved.
Resort to love, not guilt.

Dear Friend
You are precious...your life is precious. It is my sincere hope that these essays help serve as a starting point (it is not my intent to impose any of my beliefs upon you) in your search for the meaning of your life, meaning in your life and your rightful place in the universe.
The main value for you in reading the essays in this blog is in the knowledge that the concepts that I share here are what I sincerely believe to be the truths. These are the truths that I have settled into after decades of seeking the truth through a logical/analytical reasoning process as well as a "soul-searching" process. I can only hope that the sincerity of this body of work will be enough motivation for you to digest with an open mind that which I share here as part of your own process of finding the truth that you seek.
Truth will always find a way of validating itself with the person who earnestly seeks it.
I am a human being and will always be so. As such, my life is full of imperfection in the day-to-day application of these truths. Nonetheless, I find my inner peace in my knowing that I am earnestly striving day after day to be a little bit more faithful today than I was yesterday in living my life in accordance with these truths.
