True justice is paying only once for for each mistake. True injustice is paying more than once for each mistake...
The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake...
If justice exists, then that was enough; we don't need to do it again and again. But every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again, and again, and again.....
The Judge in the mind is wrong because the belief system, the Book of Law, is wrong. The whole dream is based on false law. Ninety-five percent of the beliefs we have stored in our minds are nothing but lies, and we suffer because we believe all these lies...
The personal dream of humans will vary, but globally it is mostly a nightmare. If we look at human society we see a place so difficult to live in because it is ruled by fear...

I have already been forgiven and have asked God to remove my efects of character. So why do I continue to hang onto that stuff? Fear is the only answer I can come up with. Every time it comes up I have to revisit the fear, change my belief system, come to the realization that it is not true......then I can let go again and move forward. I'm hoping that someday I will be able to just leave those fears in the garbage pile and move forward. At least for now the time between putting them down and picking them up again is growing larger and that's all I can ask for.

I bought this book in hardback and it just arrived. Thank you for reminding me how powerful the messages are in it. I really need to hear it right now. It's helping quite a lot.
Yup, fear still has me somedays, but I am learning to live without it! I kept paying for the same mistakes 'cause I kept repeating them.

Hi Rex Great Post. I can say that I continue to beat myself up for things nearly as much as I used to. But, I still have plenty of fear. Most of my fear nowadays is due to a lack of faith.
Thank you. I was thinking about fear when I read your email you sent when I went offline. You nailed it at least for me.
Boy, I can relate to paying and paying for the same mistakes. :)
Soon you will be able to let go.
thanx for that! makes a huge amount of sense. i'm one of those who is still paying.... voluntarily too....
