When we are enveloped with guilt and under its influence, even if there are good developments coming into our life, we will push them away. Sometimes the guilt doesn’t present itself as guilt but presents itself in many different forms, for example, self sacrifice, or self torture, or perhaps you are going to have a promotion and you somehow just ruin your own chances.
These all function under deep consciousnesses with or without awareness. If we cannot notice or pay attention to this, we will live on this auto-pilot. And then if we cannot discover it, it will perhaps influence us over several lifetimes.
When you function on this track, you also create different pain, you create anger and resentment, and make your life filled with doughnut holes. So guilt is a very important obstacle. Anyone who can observe it and let go of it is a very happy and fortunate person. You must have done some good deeds in the past so that you are able to let go of it.
Truly, I deeply feel that we must function on this track for a long time, that we are so used to suffering like this and make ourselves stuck in a bad place, so breaking free from it is not easy.
