CHAPTER 13
Guilt and self judgment comprise the beast(s)---that continually eats our lunch.
We are asked here to look at the beast, to neither deny it or let it overwhelm us.
We are also reminded in other places int NTI that we are never alone; we are not doing any of this by ourselves. How can we be? The whole concept of self is a reflection of our crazy idea of separateness.
CHAPTER 14
Time and again we are brought back to remembering both willingness and the true desire of the heart.
We have created the beast(s) of guilt and judgment--which stem from Fear---in a strange attempt to control life, feel safe, and support the illusion we have created. We have lived with the illusion of inadequacy for so long(many lifetimes) that when we try to shake it lose it feels very weird.
The end which we fear is only death to the ego--the false self--it is not who we are. There is no loss; there is nothing to lose.
