the hawaiian practice of ho-oponopono address exactly what you are talking about paul. yes, i, as i observe and become aware of the shame you are experiencing from some previous lifetime, am also responsible and share your pain. the mantra from ho-oponopono is, as i am sure you know, " i'm sorry, please forgive me, i love you, thank you." i am, as part of you and part of the whole, as i am aware of it, also the perpertrator of that action. i am in the depth of my heart sorry that i did those things, thought those things, created those things. i humbly ask forgiveness that my co-creative action brought those things into existance. i hold you, and all involved and the whole in unconditional love. i offer sincere and unending thanks and gratitude that you accept my love and offer forgiveness.

sharing in the guilt is choice. there in no necessity of guilt as forgiveness of self as well as others negates guilt. regret yes, guilt and remorse no. dwelling in guilt and remorse is like picking the scab. true forgiveness is healing and cleansing and resolves the past. the consequences remain and thus the regret remains. it is the lesson.

i need say no more.
