There is an original guilt we encounter that is about being separated from or leaving the absolute foundation within ourselves. Something that monks, noaidis, tietäjäs have explored through their own experiences throughout time in the traditional union of a larger psychic whole we experience between us, and in relation to the nature that surrounds us. A distorted variant of it still exists today in secular form outside its former context within Christianity and in the self-punishment that lives on through it. We punish ourselves because we are children, and were not yet mature enough to withstand the mental burden that the transfer of the original guilt means for the development of our own relationship to the foundation within ourselves. It is a separation that often occurs when it is still fragile and we are completely identified with it. When the relationship is still innocently undeveloped, and we do not have an ego that understands how to protect us from attacks on it and from being exploited by an unforgiving world. It consists of a betrayal by our surroundings in their handing over their guilt, for others to bear for them. Where we also find the realization that without it we act unconsciously and do things we will regret from a fundamental perspective. If we accept that, the absolute foundation of our non-reactive nature also becomes clearer, and we can forgive ourselves for once abandoning it, to also find our way to reconcile ourselves with the confusion and exile it entailed in trying to relieve others of the suffering we saw of this in them, and to let them reconnect to it on their own since we cannot do it for anyone else. By doing so we break the karmic cycle of guilt that causes us to take care of our own loss of the fundamental, untainted state of being through others. Something that gives us balance and peace in our meditative self observational stillness which we understood implicitly by observing the sufferings created by this separation early in our life. The mental stress it caused in relation to the inner listening of self-observant silent attention in our surroundings, and the quiet experience of a greater whole that it conveyed to us from the absolute mental foundation within us. It also allowed us to have a direct connection to the states our psychic sources create, to their processes and what it means in our dealings with ourselves in the experience of the totality that it represents as a mental balance. We are the original ground that is the nature that others have in us and we have in them, and that we perceive ourselves as deeply involved in. We feel the stress and confusion that arises when that connection is lost because we have suffered it within ourselves. We see the suffering that that loss brings as if it were our own. The drama it creates for the world to suffer for us. Which causes us to identify with and substitute our separation with others’ sorrow, with their separation from it and the suffering we see in them with ours. We will also identify with others’ successes, their happiness, and the feeling of temporary liberation it brings from our own separation from the original ground of being within ourselves. Something we cannot foster through medication, or represent through political correctness and social propriety. It is an ever-present state of quiet attention. Of self observation. Not about the rules and conventions of a society that hold it together. It is about a living connection to the roots of our senses. That is why quiet inner stillness is associated with a feeling of joy in a deep meditative sense of the mind. With the very basic ground of our being. But there is always also the more common recurring karmic substitution for the experience of our inner original absolute ground and the sense of wholeness it conveys, where this absolute ground of being is replaced by an immature and mentally distorted experience of this state of mind, and a pursuit of grandiosity. Many people support this because they can identify with the success it creates as it frees them from the personal wounds that arose by their own loss of this original sense of wholeness.
