A Different Approach to Guilt, Blame and Forgiveness

By Michael J. Roads

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Guilt, blame and the need for forgiveness are very common problems for humanity. In this article I intend to approach this from a completely different viewpoint. As a spiritual teacher, I am very aware that in everyday life many people consider themselves as physical and mortal Beings who have a single life, and they had better get it right and not disappoint their parents and family. Most people literally live their life with a heavy burden of I must, I should or I should not. This is a hopeless path if we like good health and happiness.

I would like you to consider the bigger picture, and it is a very BIG picture.

First and foremost, you were not born and you do not die. You are an immortal Being. You are not a personality/body with a soul, as so many people assume. People talk about “my soul” as though it is “my handbag,” or “my car!” Begin to live your life as though you are an immortal soul with a temporary and mortal body/personality, for this is your truth. The key here is that you are an immortal soul. The movie of your life is not a ten or fifty or even a hundred year affair … it is forever. And that is a very long time!

Each so-called lifetime is another incarnation of the soul. If your immortal life is a movie titled, The Continuity of Soul, then each lifetime you live is one brief frame in this eternal movie. The purpose and intent of your life as a soul is to grow in consciousness.

You have incarnated far more times than you are ever likely to imagine. Many people on this planet today haveincarnated tens of thousands of times. When you realise this, it is breathtaking that the majority of the Western World still believe that you only live once. Actually, this is true, but that once is forever! Life does not begin with physical birth and end at the death of the body. Life is the continuity of the souls we are. As we create while we are physically focussed, so we continue to create when and after we move though the transition from physical to metaphysical (non-physical).

We are establishing the background for the topic of this article. As most people are aware, we live under quite a few prime principles: We reap what we sow, is but one of them. A common way of saying this is, karma. Let us go back in time to an imagined beginning of all this – even though there is no actual beginning in linear terms. You are a man or woman on this planet thousands of lifetimes ago. I will add here that we sometimes incarnate as a male and sometimes as a female, but this is never random; it all fits in with the lessons that offer us growth in our soul consciousness. You have a mate, and another person takes your mate from you, abuses them and eventually kills them. You are very angry, so you plot on how you can kill that person. Okay, this is overly simplified, but this is typical of how an emotional and angry interaction begins. But killing another person is not always easy, and in your heated confrontation they kill you, so you die still dreaming of revenge on this person you have now learned to fear and hate.
