guilt is ruining your life

the map of consciousness is built using levels based on emotions. after a certain number point (measured in frequency), the level/emotion makes you stronger rather than weaker. ⁣

⁣

amongst the emotions that make you weaker is guilt. it is actually the second-lowest frequency after shame, calibrating at a low 30. to give you an idea of just how low that is, anything under 200 makes you weaker in all areas of your life. ⁣

⁣

David R. Hawkins has a whole book dedicated to this titled Power Vs. Force. it is one of those books that draws people in. every time i have it out, i always hear people saying the title out loud to themselves. it brings out people's curiosity. ⁣

⁣

the title alone suggests that there is something most humans don’t know: which is that power and force are very different things. ⁣

⁣

Hawkins writes that over 85 percent of the population is calibrating under 200, the levels that make people weak. ⁣

⁣

85 percent is a lot. ⁣

⁣

i want to zone in on guilt today because i watch guilt play out every day in the actions and lives of those around me. it is an emotion that i had to tackle extensively and sometimes i still witness as it rears its ugly head; i just don’t wrestle with it anymore. ⁣

⁣

guilt says “the world is an evil place” and tells you to find someone or something to blame. ⁣

⁣

guilt makes us feel like everything is wrong with us while simultaneously making the problem someone else’s responsibility. ⁣

⁣

parents, teachers, and authority figures have used guilt as a tool to teach children to be "considerate". however, they missed the mark. guilt isn’t consideration, guilt is manipulation. ⁣

⁣

people who use guilt try to force others to see that they are “wrong.” the problem here is the word force. we live in a society that has enforced the rigid thought-form that if things don’t go the way we want, then we are unable to live.⁣

⁣

sounds dramatic but it is so accurate. ⁣

⁣

look around for yourself. you will see this playing out on all levels. people are constantly trying to force “their” way. most people are convinced that they know best. and if children mirror their parental figures, then we have generations of people who think their way is the only way. ⁣⁣

and the glue that holds all of this together has always been guilt. ⁣

⁣

as humans, we have a need to belong, to want to be accepted and to fit in with the people around us. ⁣

⁣

the problem is that most of us incarnate into families that challenge our literal essence. who we are at the core becomes a contradiction to who we are told to be. and in order to fall in line with who we are told to be, the people around us have used and continue to use guilt to make us feel bad for who we are. ⁣

⁣

and guilt, in turn, convinces us that the world is evil and that our parents or society or whoever ... is to blame. ⁣

⁣

this is deep. ⁣

⁣

because on one level we have the people who are unconscious about everything happening in the world and then, on the other hand, we have people who are victims (of these unconscious people and their behaviors) looking at the world like it is an evil place. ⁣

⁣

and the bridge that gaps the two is the guilt that is continuously being reinforced by both parties. ⁣

⁣

a lot of people are unconscious about their guilt and how it is running (ruining) their lives. but a good place to start is by looking at what you believe about sin, hell and being a bad person. ⁣

⁣

most guilt is used under the guise of “i just want you to be a better person, i don’t want you going to hell.” or if it is internal it sounds like, “i need to be a good person, i can’t go to hell.”⁣

⁣

how does guilt show up in your life? where do you feel you must conform even when you don’t want to? ⁣
