Guilt

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.

Spiritual Bodies

All things made of matter are but atomic particles swirling about in a randomly ordered way. Take away the order and you have nothing but a bunch of particles.

Spiritual bodies consist also of matter but differ from everything else physical in that they possess flexibly integrable order. As such, spiritual bodies possess qualities like the ability to pass through objects. More significantly, they are not bound by the restrictions of space, gravity and time.

Revenge

Revenge is a parasite that eats away at our soul.

Forgiveness and Spiritual Evolution

Every act of forgiveness is a progessive step in the spiritual evolution of the forgiver (directly) and the forgiven (indirectly).

To be able to forgive the person who raped, beat and killed your child (for instance) is indeed a significant milestone in the journey of the forgiver's soul.

Lasting Happiness

happiness without peace is but make-believe;
but happiness from peace is indeed truly received.

happiness without peace may cost you quite a penny;
but happiness from peace you need never shell out any.

find your peace;
find your lasting happiness.

peace.
