Your trouble is a belief in guilt itself (!)

Quote from: NoPR #619"You may say, "I am overweight because I feel guilty about something in my past." You may then try to discover what the charged event was, but in such a case your trouble is a belief in guilt itself.

You do not have to carry such a belief. I am well aware that strong elements of your civilization are built upon ideas of guilt and punishment.

Many of you are afraid that without a feeling of guilt there would be no inner discipline, and the world would run wild. It is running quite wild now — not despite your ideas of guilt and punishment, but largely because of them."

Although I don't always write it explicitly, it should be inferred that everything I post is "my belief", "my opinion" on that subject, at that moment.

Thank religion for our distortion of guilt. Seth did say there's "natural" guilt, it's meant to be a guidance system:

"Natural guilt was meant as a preventive measure. It needed the existence of a sophisticated memory system in which new situations and experiences could be judged against recalled ones, and evaluations made in an in-between moment of reflection."
—NoPR Part One: Chapter 8: Session 635, January 24, 1973

But we humans perverted it, like a lot of things. ::)
