Note<\/em>: If desired, watch all of Acts 3 from the Visual Bible movie, Acts.<\/p>\n

In America there is a saying:<\/p>\n

Everyone has skeletons in their closet.<\/p>\n

What the saying means is that we have all done things we are ashamed of\u2014things we feel guilty for. When I look at my memory to see when I first tried to hide something I did because I felt guilty for it, I remember two events from when I was 4 and 5 years old. I guess that means we start putting skeletons in our closet at a pretty early age.<\/p>\n

Are we guilty for the things we\u2019ve done that were clearly wrong?<\/p>\n

For example, one of my early skeletons was lying to my kindergarten teacher and blaming someone else for something I did. If the teacher hadn\u2019t seen through my lie, a little boy could have been punished for something he didn\u2019t do. Lying to the teacher and blaming an innocent child for something I did was clearly wrong. It wasn\u2019t the right thing to do. But am I guilty?<\/p>\n

What about the extra-marital affairs we\u2019ve had? What about the hurtful things we\u2019ve said out of anger? What about the times we\u2019ve hit someone or thrown dishes at someone? What about the things we\u2019ve stolen? What about all of the lies we\u2019ve told? What about the other skeletons in our closets? Are we guilty for what we\u2019ve done?<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading is very clear. We are not guilty regardless of what those skeletons are.<\/p>\n

Every time we\u2019ve done something wrong, it is because we listened to ego instead of conscience. Listening to ego was the first mistake. If we hadn\u2019t listened to ego first, whatever came next would not have happened. For example, when I blamed that little boy for what I did in kindergarten, the quick ego thought in my mind was something like, \u201cOh no, I\u2019m going to get in trouble. Quick! Blame someone else!\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading points out that the ego is ignorance. It is ignorance, because it is an entire thought system based on one false premise: separation. It is an entire thought system based on the idea that I am this body-mind-personality, and I am not anything but this body-mind-personality. Everything else is separate from me.<\/p>\n

However, that premise is not true. I am not this body-mind-personality. I am life-awareness. Wherever I see life-awareness, there I am too. The life-awareness that seems to be in this body-mind and the life-awareness that seems to be in your body-mind are the same life-awareness, and we are That.<\/p>\n

Of course, the ego doesn\u2019t see it that way, and all ego chatter is based on the false idea that the truth is not true. So, the ego is ignorance. It is ignorant about the true nature of things.<\/p>\n

Every time we have done something wrong\u2014and we\u2019ve all done something wrong, usually starting at a very young age\u2014it was because we listened to ignorance. If we listened to ignorance and followed it up with action, our action is ignorant action.<\/p>\n

NTI makes a clear distinction between ignorant action and guilt. It says:<\/p>\n

Ignorance is not guilt. It is a call for knowledge.<\/p>\n

In other words, every time a human does something wrong, it is an indication that one has listened to ignorance. The correction for ignorance isn\u2019t guilt. The correction for ignorance is knowledge.<\/p>\n

We have all done things that had intended or unintended negative impact in the world. NTI doesn\u2019t deny the impact our mistakes have had in the world. However, life-awareness (reality) has not been affected at all by our mistakes, and guilt is not the correction for our mistakes. Knowledge is the correction.<\/p>\n

Without knowledge, mistakes continue, because we continue to listen to ignorance. With knowledge, we put ignorance aside and listen to intuitive conscience and spiritual intuition instead. Harmlessness (ahimsa) comes from the guidance found in intuition. Therefore, acknowledging that our mistakes and the harm we\u2019ve done are ignorance, and then choosing to put ignorance aside to follow intuition is cause for celebration.<\/p>\n
