A sense of guilt

1. A sense of guilt is part of religion. I think the hardest to see or feel. Ironically the main thing the world does to you once you are quickened and regenerated is to drive home to you your guilt in their presence. The projecting is strong towards the quickened and born again.

2. So, what I mean by this is it is obviously difficult to see and feel our guilt. Our foundational guilt as fallen beings in rebellion to our Creator. Original sin and active sin; the pollution and guilt of it. We block it out. The world blocks it out. When we were part of the world we engaged in the same collective thing: we blocked it out. Yet we can see that guilt clearly once we are regenerated and separated out from the world and the world turns on us, and the first thing it does is to accuse, accuse, and accuse some more and *act towards us from a foundational notion that we are guilty in their sight.* Now, the guilt in question is never articulated. It's just guilt. A real sense of guilt. In this they are *projecting*, and giving themselves away without realizing it. This is the very guilt they, as still unregenerate beings in and of the world, so thoroughly block out; and is the very guilt that *we* blocked out when we were one of them. So we now can actually see this real, existing monster that is real guilt in this *indirect way.* There it is. It exists. It's real.

3. This is something only a spiritual warrior, actively on the battlefield that is the straight and narrow Way which leadeth unto life, can see.
