Guilt and Projection

by Nouk Sanchez

With one ‘tiny mad idea,’ we brought our wish to fruition. Oneness became ‘otherness’ and the one became ‘individuals,’ all complete with the ego’s self seeking goals. Time, matter and space were born and for the first time we got to experience ‘relating.’ In the pre-separated state of oneness, there was no comprehension of anything outside this oneness. All was one and we were all. There was no need to relate to anything. In the separated state that we’re now dreaming, everything and everyone appears to be apart and outside us.

We effectively introduced an alternate mind reality (dream), which we call the human ego or false self. Its claim to fame was that it truly believed that it should play the role of God by usurping God’s power. The cost of this universal charade was immense. Massive guilt was the legacy of shunning our creator to make this loveless reality we call the cycle of life and death. The monumental guilt we felt just had to be placed somewhere where we did not have to face it; where it was unseen and that’s when we came up with the ‘projection’ idea. In creating the concept of separation we off-loaded our deep unconscious guilt by projecting it onto others thus believing that we were the ‘victims’ of others and outer influences.

We see in others what we don’t wish to acknowledge is within us. Projection creates the illusion that we need to attack and defend, that we’re victim to the chaos of human existence. It also convinces us that ‘giving’ means sacrifice, that by giving something we will lose or have less. Human nature’s two greatest misperceptions are: 1. That we are victims of outside influences and we need to defend or attack because of this. 2. That if we give money, objects, our time, forgiveness, acceptance and support that these things will diminish for ourselves. We believe that what we give away, we lose.

As we release the ego’s perception, we see a vastly different reality appearing in our lives. One of the most magnificent truths to be revealed is that whatever we give or share is actually increased in our lives!

We learn that anything of value is increased by being shared (forgiveness, acceptance, love, understanding, patience, gratitude etc.) If we’re feeling a lack of any one of these in our own life it is because of one oversight; We need to give it to others!

The need to defend or attack is withdrawn also, as we discover that the entire source of all our fear lies with the ego’s projection. Through the PIQ formula (Presence, Inquiry & and Quantum forgiveness) we see that we create our fears and the pure light of honest self-observation dispels that persistent sense of threat that previously haunted our daily lives. And peace becomes our regular companion.

The ego means separation, as in opposites, a constant dueling of ever changing and random phenomena. It created the ideas of evil, hate, suffering and death. There is no outside evil force, there’s only one absolutely absurd culprit responsible for the entire history of humanity’s suffering — our own individual and collective egoic perception.

God is all loving. The pre-separated state was without chaos in any form. All forms of human suffering, including the idea of death, are fabrications made by ego to increase our fear thus consolidating our allegiance to it.

Recently, there has been an evolutionary leap in our collective search for ‘purpose and meaning.’ Beyond the confines of organized religion, a surge of independent spiritual seekers is questing for Truth. For most though, they still search for truth by trying to gain more spiritual knowledge and this will be an impossible task. Why? Because only the ego seeks knowledge and the end result would be an enlightened ego. Real Truth however, is who we are, beneath the ego image we think of as ‘I.’ The way to reveal the truth under the ego is to dismantle the ego perceptions that obscured it for so long. This is the ‘undoing of ego.’

Heaven’s state is not a place we go to after death; it is a state of mind that is our natural inheritance once we have demolished our ego’s perception. Infinite Love permeates every particle of our existence, because anything that is not Love does not exist. If we see or feel anything other than Love, then we literally perceive illusion. Suffice to say that to the degree we still perceive suffering of any kind is the degree to which we must release the ego.
