I want to say a few words about guilt, an especially important topic in this connection, and 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
in this connection, and clarify the difference between guilt, shame, and remorse. I have often referred to 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
I have often referred to justified and unjustified guilt. I have also spoken about the destructive nature 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
have also spoken about the destructive nature of guilt, which devastates the self and prohibits the vision 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD

remorse differ from one another. When you feel guilt, you say, in effect, I am beyond redemption 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
There is a direct correlation between this self-devastating guilt and your distrust of life. It is essential 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD

real self. So there is a difference between guilt and shame. Guilt relates to your inner self 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
there is a difference between guilt and shame. Guilt relates to your inner self; it devastates you 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
True remorse has nothing to do with either guilt or shame. It simply recognizes your shortcomings, limitations 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
change through self-confrontation, is entirely different from self-devastating guilt or shame. Remorse makes it possible to say 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
is amiss. So do make the distinction between guilt, shame, and remorse, and see that guilt is 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
between guilt, shame, and remorse, and see that guilt is very much part of a lack of 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD
