Friendship

No life is pointless! And I tell you that no life is hopeless.


Fear and guilt are the only enemies of man.


You’ve told me that before.


And I’ll tell you again. Fear and guilt are your only enemies.


if you let go of fear, fear lets go of you. If you release guilt, guilt will release you.


How do we do that? How do we let go of fear and guilt?


By deciding to. It is an arbitrary decision, based on nothing but personal preference. You
simply change your mind about yourself, and how you choose to feel.


It is as your Harry Palmer says: Only a decision is required to change one’s mind.


Even a murderer can change his mind. Even a rapist can re-create himself anew. Even a
child abuser can be redeemed. All it takes is a decision deep in the heart and soul and mind:
This is not Who I Am.


That goes for any of us, whatever our misdeeds, large or small?


That goes for any of you.


Yet how can I forgive myself if I have done the unforgivable?


There is no such thing as the unforgivable. There is no offense so great that I would refuse to
forgive it. Even the strictest of your religions teach that.


They may not agree on the way of atonement, they may not agree on the path, but they all
agree that there is a way, there is a path.


What is the way? How can I achieve atonement if I, myself consider my offenses
unforgivable?


The opportunity for atonement comes to you automatically at what you call death.


You must realize that “atonement” is just that—it is “at-one-ment.” It is the awareness that
you and all others are One, It is the understanding that you are One with everything—
including Me.


This experience you will have—you will remember this—immediately after death, after you
depart from your body.
