Interesting perspectives on guilt. It's hard to wrap my head around the idea that guilt is at the root of it all. What would you say about those who have no conscience like psychopaths?
It's a funny coincidence to read this, as the article about hypocrisy I wrote last night speaks of projection and ties love in at the end as the ultimate cure as well. Thanks for sharing. :)
It doesn't matter if you are conscious of the underlying guilt or not, nor if you see it in others or yourself. The reason why ACIM is speaking so extensively about guilt is, because the ego is build on the imagined separation from source.
The moment you imagine to be separated from source, the basic "error" seemed to have happened and the resulting feeling is always guilt (or fear, if projected into the future). This is the case with a psychopath as well as "normal psychopaths" (since believing in separation is in itself "psychopathic", since we are imagening something, that is not there: a world. Which is by definition "psychotic"). I'll check out your article! Thank you! <3
Thanks for checking it out. Don't feel the need to upvote it. It's not nearly as complex, and comes from my own ideas and feelings, not a school of thought that I'm completely uneducated in. In fact, I have to read your comment again in an attempt to understand what you just said lol. ;)
