| your lower self, your real guilts, to make restitution for them and to purify yourself, while, on | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| hypocrisy of pretending the opposite, and not making restitution for the original fault. Such double-edged guilt produces | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| wish to go through the action that makes restitution for past guilt. What I will say now | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| freedom, at the stage of wishing to make restitution. In fact, when this stage is reached through | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| for not facing the guilt. One can make restitution when one really wants to. Now, how can | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| reality which is dynamic and knows infinite varieties. Restitution is comparatively easy for obvious wrongs one has | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| but it is not so easy to make restitution for subtle attitudes and emotional reactions. In the | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| you do have a deep desire to make restitution, then that very desire, uttered in prayer and | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| hampering it as before -- will make for restitution. If others now profit from this new-found ability | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| profit from this new-found ability that, too, is restitution! You will deeply feel the truth of this | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| your inherent being stream onto others, that is restitution. In short, my friends, two major steps are | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| kept private so far. The second step is restitution, which is often subdivided into first expressing the | 109 SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH THROUGH RESTITUTION FOR REAL GUILT |
| wish to obey the law, to be blameless. Restitution becomes as false as the idealized self and | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| are no rules that prescribe the mode of restitution, since no two cases are alike. It is | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| want to atone. The most fundamental atonement and restitution is change, because repetition of the guilts is | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| intuitive faculties. QUESTION: I wanted to ask about restitution to the loved ones in the spirit world | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| we have understood, that we want to make restitution? ANSWER: Whenever thoughts of truth, coming from such | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| a special action might be indicated, or if restitution should merely be in expressing your thoughts and | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| begun to take place. And in this change, restitution has already begun, even before you undertake any | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| begun, even before you undertake any action of restitution, such as expressing your regret, such as making | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| have inflicted, you definitely will find ways. Sometimes restitution will be made toward a person other than | 110 HOPE AND FAITH AND OTHER KEY CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS |
| for which you have no intention to make restitution. Some of the above pains are obviously interrelated | 249 THE PAIN OF INJUSTICE -- COSMIC RECORDS OF ALL EVENTS, DEEDS, EXPRESSIONS |
