Dr. Denning says that these feelings of guilt can even carry over from the emotional into the physical realm by causing illness and disease in our bodies, and I have no doubt in my mind that she is absolutely right about that. The case studies in Life Without Guilt are startling examples of how guilt can affect us holistically and can even cause death. Furthermore, when we die without closure with a guilt issue from one life, we carry that issue into our next life so that we have a chance to learn the lesson we were meant to learn and heal. Jesus, as well as every other great avatar, specifically directed us to love and forgive everyone, including ourselves. They all knew the healing power in that emotion.
Guilt is a dead-end street.
It prevents us from accomplishing our purpose in life, which is to grow spiritually. Guilt prevents us from having a good relationship with other human beings. Guilt causes us to punish those around us for our problems. Guilt is a form of living in the past and not getting on with our soul purpose here. Guilt often creates life-threatening pathologies as our bodies attract ill health.
