The Tendency to Feel Guilty and Condemn Ourselves

This article continues the discussion of the previous post published and discusses the tendency to feel guilty and condemn oneself.

I am following the Maha Chohan’s book[1] and his words: «(…) There are others who are willing to see their own faults, but who are so willing to see them that they now go into condemnation and feeling guilty about it. This will also block their progress.»[2]

Unfortunately, religion is one of the main reasons why people develop this tendency. For millennia, it has taught people to see themselves as 'sinners', which lowers their self-esteem from the outset and prepares them to conform and obey 'authorities'.

This kind of education stifles people's creativity and their joy in discovering and living their lives. It is a punitive view of humanity that has been perpetuated for so long that people with a religious mindset always feel guilty, even when they cannot identify a tangible reason why.

As a teacher, I remember sometimes telling my students, at the beginning of a class, 'I know you did it', to provoke them before discussing ethics. Many of them would immediately start feeling guilty. They nodded in agreement.

We are conditioned to think in a way that is typical of dualistic consciousness: pointing the finger and accusing others, and shrinking when they accuse us. But who actually takes advantage of this mindset?

If you ask this, you will notice that this attitude makes people obey and conform. It makes them stop thinking for themselves because they believe that, as sinners, they don't deserve certain things.

It's the perfect way to prevent people from recognising their spiritual identity and to keep them spiritually dead.

We must transcend the consciousness of death and duality to realise that all these opposites are a scam perpetuated by those who, since ancient times, have sought to manipulate humanity for their own ends.

First and foremost, a spiritual student needs to awaken to the need to think for themselves, to ask questions and to question everything, in order to develop the Christ consciousness, which is always neutral and beyond all opposites.

By its own definition, duality consciousness is blind and can only see one possibility against its opposite. However, the Christ mind transcends opposites, which are always illusory.

In order to become real spiritual students, we need to become neutral and view the things and beings around us as if it were the first time. This is because every being is unique and not opposed to anyone else. How difficult is it to grasp this simple statement?

 Only you can answer that question if you want to overcome the challenge of feeling guilty and condemn ourselves to begin the path  as a spiritual student.
