Guilt

Guilt is not of God and does not exist in the Kingdom, but in this reality it does serve to help us awaken to changes we need to make.

When we feel guilty over something, we need to ask ourselves whether that guilt is justified, whether we have done something that has triggered that internal God compass. If so, we need to take action to rectify the situation --- this is how we grow and awaken. This could mean saying you are sorry or knowing that you need to do it different the next time.

Also, no one can make you feel guilty. You control whether you feel guilty. If someone is triggering guilt in you, they are giving you a gift so that you can take a look at your actions, words, or thoughts and see if they are in alignment with God. It does not matter what they are blaming you for. It only matters that you recognize the guilt within you and then explore the source and beliefs behind that guilt. Maybe your child says you are not a good parent. If you see that you could be doing some things different, then do them different without condemning yourself. Self compassion is extremely important. But maybe you recognize that you don't need to change anything --- it is your beliefs which tell you that you are not a good parent and you just need to release what is false inside of you. Usually it is a mix of the two.

Many people stay in long term guilt and never know it. They usually project the guilt on to others as blame and anger, never pulling the projection in and realizing that they are the source of the guilt. This is why the world appears as it does --- everyone blaming other people, groups, God, etc., instead of taking a look at themselves.
