According to A Course in Miracles, much of our suffering is the result of unconscious guilt. ACIM shows us the way out of that suffering – and it works when we’re willing to practice it.
There’s a prayer at the very end of the text of A Course in Miracles, Chapter V, and it talks about recognizing that we’re only upset because we’ve decided to believe something that isn’t actually correct, or helpful or loving.  And it has this line:
“I do not feel guilty because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I let him …”
I call this prayer the Parents Prayer, because of that line.
Guilt is very much a part of the human condition because it is the underlying thing we’re all dealing with.  We feel guilty because we’ve basically told the Divine that we reject what it has made.  We feel unworthy of God’s Love and this leads us to feeling guilty, which we then project on the world, and it’s a quagmire of pain and shame.
Parents are particularly susceptible. I talk with a lot of parents who feel guilty.  Guilt almost seems to go with parenting, but it doesn’t have to.  In fact, it would be so helpful to all humanity if more parents would not tolerate feeing guilty and would, instead, allow the guilt to be healed at the root cause – in our belief system.
Many parents believe that they should do more for their children.  They feel guilty that they’re not doing enough.  The answer is definitely NOT to do more.  In fact, I sense that if parents who feel guilty that they’re not doing enough for their children started to do more it would be too much and then the children would feel guilty that their parents are doing so much.
I’ve been a spiritual counselor to many a parent who felt guilty as regards their children and many desperately desired a way to get out from under that guilt.  ACIM shows us the way.

Parents who feel guilty can transfer that feeling to their children because children model themselves after their parents or in reaction to their parents.  

All of this guilt really and truly can be healed by actively offering it to the Higher Holy Spirit Self for healing – but the trick is, we have to actually make the offering every time we sense it, until it’s gone.  We truly have to believe we’re worthy of no longer being punished by the unconscious guilt.
So, the question is, do you feel you need guilt as a motivator?  Many people do.  Many people believe they would be come lazy and complacent if they didn’t have guilt as a pain to motivate them.
Let’s not live that way anymore.  Let’s not model it for our youth anymore.
Are you willing to make an active practice of handing over and UP all feelings of guilt and all temptation to make yourself feel guilty?  Will you give it to the Higher Holy Spirit Self?
What would you rather invest in, instead of guilt?  You’ll have so much more energy when you give up the guilt – it’s inspiring to think of what you could do with it!

TODAY: Here’s a way out of that guilt – If you’re feeling stuck, trapped, or just sad, forgiveness is the way to Freedom.  That’s why we offer free forgiveness workshops a couple of times each month. If you take the steps I suggest, you will experience more Freedom. Please invite your friends.

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE: my podcast’s topic is Life and Joy and Love. We block the Joy and Love that’s available to us in so many ways and we don’t even realize it. We often find ourselves managing and coping with problems when we don’t have to. In this episode, I share my daily experience of discovering the patterns of the conditioned mind and choosing Freedom, liberation and healing instead – while remembering to be lighthearted about even the most challenging things. Our mind is the mind of God and we’re not victims of circumstance – ever!
