Study of Text, Chapter 13: II.The Guiltless Son of God, P 4. 6-7-16

II. THE GUILTLESS SON OF GOD, P 4

4 Much of the ego’s strange behavior is directly attributable to its definition of guilt. To the ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not attack are its “enemies” because, by not valuing its interpretation of salvation, they are in an excellent position to let it go. They have approached the darkest and deepest cornerstone in the ego’s foundation, and while the ego can withstand your raising all else to question, it guards this one secret with its life, for its existence depends on keeping this secret. So it is this secret that we must look upon, for the ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the ego is dispelled.

So the ego sees us as guilty of “egocide” when we think we are guiltless. Jeez. Accepting that Jesus is right and guilt is an illusion and doesn’t exist at all, would undo the ego. It seems so simple and obvious that I don’t know what else to write. But I also know that that even as I sit here writing this, I am so annoyed with Microsoft Word and with Windows 10 that I could scream. What else is that except guilt. I find these companies to be guilty. I wish the repairmen on the road would move on down. The noise is distracting. Instead, I wish I was at my house listening to the birds sing to me as I write this. Wishing things were different is just another way of judging and finding guilt.

Guilt shows up in many ways and some of those ways seem valuable to me. I will learn to live with Windows 10 and I will adjust to the noise outside, but it took me years to let go of the grievance against my ex-husband. That seemed hard even though there is no hierarchy of illusions, and so it is no different than the noisy repairmen. It seems harder only because I valued the grievance against my ex more than I value the grievance against the repairmen.

The truth is, we must give up guilt in all its forms if we are to undo the ego. So I do what I can. I notice guilty thoughts and I remember that the peace of God is everything I want. Do I want my ex husband to be guilty, or do I want the peace of God? Do I want the morning to be filled with the songs of birds rather than the noise of street construction? Or do I want the peace of God? If the peace of God is everything I want, then I must decide. As I decide for the peace of God, guilt is undone because there is no guilt in peace. As the guilt is undone, so is the ego.
