Q: Can I ask a question? When I was younger at school, I was often attracted to anything that was naughty. Smoking, drinking etc.... Anything that was allowed I found boring as it had no attraction to me at all. I think that because those things were not permitted made them more attractive to me. I was told that they were wrong and not allowed (hence they were loaded with guilt) and that seems to have been the key attraction for me. It didnt matter on the form because I didnt even enjoy the drinking to be honest but I still did it due to the attraction of the guilt that was placed into it. Anyway, a few of us were a bit more daring than others and many others didnt join us to smoke or drink and they were the goodie guys. Why do you think they werent attracted to the guilt the same as I was? Were they attracted to it, but feared punishment and therefore abstained? Were they more fearful than the rest of us? Did they seek out guilt in other things that I never sought it in? It just appears to me that guilt seems more attractive to some than others, though I have only got my little own personal perspective so I wonder what your views are? Its hard to get people to speak about these things outside of ACIM (I dont know anyone in my little world here who does any spiritual work) and those I do speak to claim to be angelic souls who cannot understand what I am talking about. Thanks :) A: Forgiveness is the process of letting go of fear and embracing Love - Accepting the Atonement is accepting the undoing of guilt within the split mind so that it can be brought back to Wholeness and Holiness. Yes it is very true that some people are more attracted to guilt than others and that is simply down to how much guilt they have let go of in the preceding lifetimes of time and space or present one. Also, how much they have accepted, embraced and practiced a pathway which allows them to accept the Atonement determines how much guilt remains within our seemingly split mind. What we see always reflects the surface but what we do not see is how much forgiveness or unforgiveness we have embraced within our lives. We all have our scripts that we have written with the ego or wrong mind which was corrected the moment we wrote them by the Holy Spirit - or the Memory of Love. So in Truth we are whole and perfect in Love already but we simply choose against this in favour of separation due to the guilt within our mind. So our only choice is to keep choosing to accept the Atonement and forgive our illusions which are symbols of guilt, separation and attack - as you do this you begin to bring the Mind back to Whole/Holy-ness and in turn you find guilt less and less attractive. You slowly begin to re-member your self literally and figuratively! You will find it hard pressed to get most people to talk about this stuff including ACIM heads which is why I love doing these videos and sharing it with you guys!! I get to say the things the ego would never say in public!!!!! The Barefoot Barrister
