From a slave to a master, chapter # 30 - the key of beliefs, Part VIII and final
A Memoir
One of the falsest rooted belief that humans hold is the cross-cultures belief that we, humans, are all sinners. Such world-view, religious and secular alike, gives birth to deep guilt-feelings which shape and form our reality and make it unnecessarily miserable.
The belief that at some point in our life we committed a sin, that we hurt someone else, that we harmed another living creature like us, is relentlessly bothering and depriving our inner serenity. Whether we left a relationship or were deserted, we would always feel that we did something wrong, that we hurt our ex-spouse, that we failed in some way to fulfill their needs. Therefore, we would always feel guilty! That self-lashing (figuratively of course) is pointless and contributes nothing to anybody; especially not to us on our journey towards TrueLove and self-acceptance.

The way to deal with that belief is through understanding that from a broader level there is no such thing as sin; That concepts as “bad” and “good” belong to the old world of duality; that everything is merely an experience.
Did you yell at your child and now you feel guilty?
Did you cheat on your spouse and now your conscience severely bothers you?
Do you work many hours a day and you barely see your family and loved ones so the guilt disturbs you?
Did you tell someone you love them just to make them do something for you and now you are tormented by what you had done?
This is the time to stop thinking like that; to cease torturing yourself and to understand that everything you ever have done was appropriate. It was an experience on your way – the soul’s way – to decipher and to decode the mysterious connection between the physical reality and TrueLove. You are not sinners. None of you.
I am not saying that harmful behaviors are justified or should be repeated. Not at all. These were events that you chose from a certain level of awareness to bring you to your current state of being. The belief that you are sinners that need redemption in this world impedes you from understanding the nature of TrueLove and the vast territories in which it resides.
As soon as you examine your beliefs and worldviews your awareness and perceptions will grow and your new achieved balance will make sure you can never hurt anyone.
Summary of beliefs
in the past chapters [#23-29], I have presented the key of belief. The mental structure that directly influences your personal reality. I have given several examples of common beliefs regarding love and relationships.
Work with the beliefs I presented in those chapters. Examine yourself vis-à-vis the general worldviews. What is relevant for you? What beliefs do you hold? What does still serve you and what does no longer apply? Working with your beliefs is a never-ending task because your reality is in a state of constant development. The good news is that rather quickly you train your minds to automatically release the beliefs that don’t serve you and to adopt those who proliferate and enrich your lives. The journey has never been easier and effortless, as it should be.
Basically self-acceptance no matter the outcome as long as you're approaching yourself and life with integrity? You state that the good news is our minds will be retrained rather quickly and run automatically in accord with the new way of thinking?
So, is the first step not feeling guilty? I'd like to experience this ease of living that enriches rather than tears down.
My answer is given with a big disclaimer: exercise your own discretion when reading the following and follow only what feels to you to be appropriate!
Ease of living comes not from the mind. We often think too much, trying to use our mind for tasks it's not designed to do. You see, your mind is amazing in collecting information, dissecting it, and bringing it to your forefront awareness. The problems begin when you grant your mind the task to make decisions. It can't! It doesn't have the wisdom. It uses only the current beliefs it holds. Therfore, the best step would be to stop the mind chatter and accept with trust and confidence what comes to your doorstep. The more beliefs you release the more of life's grace can make its way to you.
Just as you mentioned in a previous comment to me, I think I've been working my thoughts too hard ;) Welcome in grace!
I really do enjoy reading your posts and am grateful for the shared wisdom. Thank you :)

Hi, in my coutry (CUBA), we have a frase: "nothing is worth crying over spilled milk". Whatever we do, good things or bad things is just past, i consider to feel guilty when we hurt someone is a waist of time and it doesn't solve anything we've done, sadly we can't get back in the past. So the real question is what can we do to make our loved ones lifes better? Don't you think?
That's a noble cause for life, to make our loved one's life better. But it's tricky. Only when your own life is good you can inspire others to improve and be better. Otherwise, you wouldn't be authentic, and they would notice this. Secondly, you can't force your agenda on others. Not everyone would want your help, and you need to approach them with no agenda, only your light.
You have a beautiful country. I have been there once and miss the people and the nature. Thanks for your message, mate👍
I greatly appreciate your teachings @nomad-magus. This will definitely help me to allow true love to come into my life completely. Thank you very much my inner-self smiles as well. ♥☺
