The brain receives 400 billion bits of information per second, yet we are only aware of 2000 bits. These 2000 bits of information represents the conscious movements that serve our thoughts in any given moment. So where are our thoughts in any given moment? If you ask a psychologist or anyone else that works in the field of the human mind, they will tell you that is most often either in the past or in a worrisome future. Under these conditions we're bound to miss guidance that might be coming our way.

One of the major emotions that show up quite often in the time traveling mind is that of guilt. When we constantly turn our attention to a time where we are not, the mind will tend to analyze this past or future moment. In all this analysis, things that are perceived to be "not right" will play itself out. This type of judgment usually leads to guilt.

What is overlooked or not understood is that there are many fields of possibilities in which all probable realities get to play themselves out. Even within a single probable reality you can never get it done as long as there is new NOW moment to be aware of.

Where does guilt come from?
So why is the idea of guilt still being perpetuated? Quite to my surprise, I have even seen some metaphysicians and New Age Practitioners still asking the question, "Is guilt necessary?" I have even seen and heard some of these practitioners use that very emotion to persuade others of what they should be doing.

The emotion of guilt is actually a gross distortion of an age old tool mankind developed during his evolution. This tool is the art of reflection. As mankind evolutionary moved away from the rest of creature hood and more into the awareness of choices, (hence The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), reflection became a great tool in the
