CHAPTER 1

Am I Innocent and Good?

Through our quest to change our lives and help others, we have become aware that people are submerged in the mistaken idea that they are guilty; and this feeling of being bad and guilty is the main reason that for the majority of people life is constant suffering. As we discover this feeling of blame, of guilt, we understand that it is a false appreciation of the events that surround our lives; we realize that blame is just a concept that blocks individual peace and the clear vision of what we really are.
God created man and woman as perfect beings, good and innocent; and this is how He created you. He gave you the marvelous gift of “Free Choice”. You have the freedom to choose what to do with your life and how to direct your path to perfect spiritual, emotional, mental, and material development.
But ... you say... there are also bad people.
The world of humans contains more good than bad beings. Unfortunately some souls are more confused than others; even though created by the same Divine Source, they choose to use their freedom in denying the truth, following what is false, denying GOD and LOVE, truth, peace, beauty, and forgiveness. These beings consciously carry out destructive or criminal acts against humanity. However they are the minority. The great majority are confused beings, where pain and suffering have clouded the true love within them.
Your soul has led you to read these pages so that you can find the truth in your life, the truth of your innocence. And if you have erred it was only because of the confusion in which you were living as well as part of your life experiences. You can now wake up and discover that now is the moment to change, because there is no evil within you.
Fear, the belief that you are doing bad things, that you are guilty and undeserving, that the experiences that you have lived always resulted in sadness and fear. These have confused you and made you believe that you are bad and guilty. If you wish to change your life, you must take this need for change as a sign that you are good, that you never wished to do bad things or hurt others. And if you did, then you must understand that there are many other reasons that you still don’t know. You will discover, little by little, that you were led to act as you did, to the actions which now make you believe that you are not good. Today you have taken an important step towards understanding why you acted in a way that you did not wish.
It is possible that many of the situations that I have described here actually happened, or that you begin to justify the conduct of your parents or other individuals which played an important role in your life. If this happens, you must make a special effort to continue working. You must be honest with yourself and connect with that emotion that you know is hurting you and that is related to some of the situations described.
The purpose of this book is to free you from emotional suffering. It is never our intention to judge your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, or anybody who played an important role in your life. The intention is to find the reasons that led you to believe that you were rejected, unloved, that made you feel bad, guilty, incapable, in the wrong time or place; that filled you with fear, anger, sadness, etc.
As you read this book you will find that some concepts are repeated. This is to help your mind retain the information, as the assimilation process requires.
