GUILT (INTERLUDE)

Religious guilt is the name placed on learned trauma through the teachings of the church
From an early age, these institutions instill ideas in you that your interests
Your natural feelings
And even who you are as a person
Are inherently wrong
And that at the end of your life
You will face punishment for who you are
And the feelings you were born with

These organizations lay out rules and guidelines to shame, and in turn, control you
These unreasonable principles are carved in to you as early as possible, and as deeply as they can be
Because the earlier they program you, the harder it is to reset in the future
Your relationships, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing are fractured in ways that you may not even recognize until the source is confronted and unlearned
This shame serves you in no way
And the sooner you identify it, the sooner you can work towards letting it go
Don't overcorrect
Don't chase a replacement
Don't fill the hole with justice
Hate, violence, and fear will keep you right where they always wanted you

Find peace

Find yourself

Everybody is a god

Once you make it out of the property
