'Should' is a sketchy word. Not only does it keep us in a place of limbo, somewhere between doing things and not doing things, it also creates a lot of shame around our lack of focus and momentum. And if there's one thing we know about shame, it's that it will never move us forward into a better version of ourselves. Shame always shuts us down and even creates a downward spiral.

Has Jesus set us free from the fear of failure and being exposed as "less-than"?Homily for the Vigil of Sts. Peter and Paul, June 27, 2029
In this powerful Week 18 message of The Science of Mind Journey, Rev. Lee Wolak explores "Guilt, Shame, and Unworthiness" and reveals how these hidden patterns quietly shape our thoughts, choices, relationships, and spiritual growth. In the Science of Mind teaching, we are not broken, fallen, or separate from God. We are individualized expressions of Infinite Mind, but when guilt and shame dominate consciousness, we forget our true nature and begin creating from fear, self-judgment, and limitation. This spiritual talk invites you to look honestly at the beliefs that keep you feeling unworthy, undeserving, or disconnected from your greater good. Through New Thought wisdom, metaphysical teaching, self-awareness, and practical spiritual insight, you will learn how to release the false identity built around past mistakes, inherited shame, and old conditioning. If you are seeking spiritual awakening, emotional healing, self-forgiveness, inner freedom, conscious living, personal transformation, and a deeper understanding of your divine nature, this message will help you return to the truth: you are worthy, whole, and free now.

You've been carrying a hidden poison that's been causing you unnecessary pain and suffering. You've instinctively known something's wrong. You've tried to understand it. You've tried to heal it. You've done the work. And yet it keeps coming back — in your relationships, in your body, in the way you see yourself, in the way you move through the world. This episode does something no therapy session, no book and no course has ever offered you. The Angelics perform a Sacred Ceremony that upgrades your energy field while you listen. By the end of this episode you will know why guilt is more powerful than fear and why this is the most important thing you will ever learn about what has been controlling your life. You will discover that guilt was strategically designed to keep humanity obedient — it was never yours to carry and it was never about you. You will experience the Sacred Ceremony as the Angelics use Universal Intelligence to remove guilt, shame, fear and judgment from your energy field in real time. You will understand why therapy has never fully worked — and what changes permanently when truth replaces guilt. And you will walk away with an upgraded energy field — free from the prey response that guilt has kept you locked inside your entire life. When guilt leaves your energy field, fear leaves with it. This episode is where that begins. This is Part 138 of The Story of Creation, a live recording of Michelle Vickers having conversations with God, The Creator, The Soul of The Universe and other Universal Beings, recorded in front of a live audience.

FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dave and Alan Manheim return for another classic Dopey Tuesday conversation, this time recorded outside the Dopey studio because of ongoing production issues. Alan immediately launches into a breakdown of his “mutual redevelopment” Manhattan apartment and reminisces about living there for over 50 years while Dave complains about the transformation of his childhood bedroom into the Dopey studio. The conversation drifts into Blake Mycoskie from TOMS Shoes and the Dopey Nation's reaction to a less drug-heavy episode before Alan unveils his newest entrepreneurial fantasy: buying 30 acres upstate to create a solar-powered greenhouse capable of producing meat without animals. This naturally leads into stories about Alan's previous failed business ideas, including indoor lobster farming, eclipse merchandise, imported Chinese knives, underwear futures, cryptocurrency disasters, and the legendary JJ and the Jelly Bean children's books. Dave and Alan then pivot hard into Knicks playoff mania, gambling talk, and the absurdity of spending $1,000 for nosebleed seats at Madison Square Garden. Alan shares a story about his cardiologist's son cashing out a massive preseason Spurs futures bet while Dave reflects on how his father never really took him anywhere growing up besides zoos, museums, and nursing homes. Dave jokes that this emotional neglect may explain how he became a heroin addict in the first place. The episode also dives into Spotify and Patreon comments, listener criticism of Heart Attack Doug, vape addiction rituals, Kratom recovery, and the strange comfort of hearing from the same diehard Dopey listeners every week. The teaser cuts off right before the controversial Patreon comments section, ending with Dave shamelessly trying to convert listeners into Patreon subscribers. FULL SHOW ONLY ON PATREON!

What if guilt and shame aren't part of who you really are?In this episode, Bible teacher and prison ministry volunteer James Early shares powerful stories from over 18 years of leading weekly Bible studies at a federal correctional institution — and what he's learned about guilt, shame, identity, and spiritual transformation along the way.James shares the story of a woman who came to his Bible study broken, medicated, estranged from her family, and done with God — and how two years later she walked out restored, healed, and off all her medications. The turning point? Being given permission to ask hard questions and discovering that sin is not her true identity.Using the simple but profound mud puddle analogy, James explains why guilt and shame don't define you — and why God hates iniquity not because he hates you, but because he loves you too much to let it stick.You'll also hear about:- Why practical faith matters more than right doctrine- How spiritual disciplines grow naturally when you taste God's presence- What it really means that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand- How inmates taught James as much as he taught themConnect with James Early:
You were never on trial — guilt, shame, and self-blame are learned illusions, not truth.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore how to end guilt, shame, and self-blame by recognising a powerful truth: you are not on trial.Many of us replay the past, defending ourselves in an inner emotional courtroom shaped by childhood conditioning and the Inner Child's need to be “right.” But Taoist wisdom and wu wei (effortless effort) remind us that guilt and shame are not facts — they are emotions created from beliefs.Through the lens of Shen (your intrinsic spiritual essence) and the Golden Thread Process, we uncover how to release self-judgment, step out of emotional drama, and return to clarity, compassion, and alignment.This episode is for you if you:Struggle with guilt, regret, or shameReplay past mistakes and self-blameFeel trapped in perfectionism or people-pleasingWant emotional freedom rooted in Taoist wisdomRead the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/empty-courtroom Our Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I open up about something that we all carry but rarely stop to dissect: guilt. It's sneaky. It creeps in during the quiet moments after long work weeks, during family decisions, and when we feel stretched too thin. This episode wasn't just about a spontaneous trip to Universal Studios with my daughters. It was about understanding how guilt can distort our memories, cloud our judgment, and keep us from truly being present. But more importantly, it was about choosing what to do with that guilt right now. Over the years, I've told myself stories. That I worked too much. That I wasn't present enough. That I didn't have patience. And while I believed those things, my daughters remembered something different. They remembered the volleyball practices. They remembered Disneyland. They remembered me showing them how to edit on their iPads. And it made me realize how powerful our own stories can be and how wrong we are when we let guilt rewrite our legacy. I almost let my own guilt steal an opportunity to create a powerful memory with my daughters. I almost passed on a trip that turned into one of the best experiences we've had together. The reality is, we work hard to earn that flexibility, but if we don't take action in the present, guilt will always convince us we don't deserve it. This lesson isn't just for home it applies to business too. Guilt from not following up. Guilt from not posting. Guilt from not showing up strong for your clients. We sit in that space and call it accountability, but accountability without action is just self-punishment. You say you take responsibility but then what? What are you doing right now to change it? It's time to stop looking back at where we fell short and start doing something right here, right now. One call. One text. One post. One moment of presence. That's where expansion begins. And when you take that action now, it doesn't just shape your future. It transforms your past and your present too. Expansion grows every way, not just forward. The guilt doesn't have to weigh you down if you're willing to move. Ask Yourself What guilt have you been holding onto that's slowing down your growth or happiness? What is one action you can take today to move forward in your business or relationships? How might your story change if you stopped focusing on what you didn't do and started acting on what you can do now? Notable Quotes “We can all feel belittled by what we have. Or we can just think about what we can do right now to get a little closer to that bigger vision.” “Time doesn't necessarily mean quality. You don't have to sabotage one or the other. You can do both.” “Accountability without action is just self-punishment.” Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

This week I dive into some of the work Freud wrote later in his life, particularly a book called Civilization and its Discontents published in 1930. Freud believed that the evolutionary process we can use to trace the changes humans have gone through over the centuries can also explain why culture itself has evolved as it has. He basically thinks we are all self-deceiving, chronically unfulfilled and unsatisfied bots programmed to lie to ourselves above all else, and to avoid feeling guilt or shame based on unavoidable urges we all have by lying to ourselves and everyone else about those urges existing. Instead we redirect them. Killing someone in revenge becomes laser tag this weekend. Driving 100mph like an asshole to work everyday becomes gokarts and beers on Friday night. Cheating with the neighbor becomes an Only Fans subscription or a weekend at a swinger's convention. In this episode I cover morality, guilt, shame, intoxication, sublimation, civilization, and Freud's views on why all of these things exist in the human species. Support the show

How large of a force is shame in shaping the behaviors we see in society and ourselves? In this talk, René Rivera gently but powerfully guides us through the terrain of shame, drawing from personal experience, restorative justice work, and Buddhist teachings. He names shame as one of the five primary human emotions and explores how it subtly drives fear, anger, and avoidance.René relates how shame shows up intensely in work with people who've experienced or caused sexual harm and how facing it consciously can lead to healing and growth. He also ties shame to cultural patterns of oppression, suggesting that unexamined shame fuels collective harm, such as the political targeting of marginalized communities.To help us recognize and transform our own shame, René shares several tools and frameworks:Shame vs. Guilt: Shame is “I am bad,” while guilt is “I did something bad”—guilt can motivate action, while shame tends to immobilize.Compass of Shame (Nathanson):Attack Self: Internal harshness or over-apologizing.Attack Other: Blaming or lashing out.Withdrawal: Avoiding situations that might evoke shame.Avoidance: Distraction or pretending nothing happened.Body Awareness: Shame often shows up in physical sensations like sinking or heat; returning to the body anchors awareness.Reflective Questions (inspired by Byron Katie):Is it true?Can you absolutely know it's true?How do you react when you believe it?Who would you be without it?Is this mine?“Shame Report” Practice: Sharing shame stories with trusted others to dissolve secrecy and regain perspective.René encourages us to remember that our shame responses often began as survival strategies. Bringing compassion, curiosity, and community to our experiences allows us to shift from painful self-concepts toward healing and freedom.______________René Rivera is a meditation teacher, restorative justice facilitator, and leader, working and learning in all the spaces in-between race, gender, and other perceived binaries, as a queer, mixed-race, trans man.René teaches heart-centered, trauma-informed meditation, at the East Bay Meditation Center and other meditation centers. He has co-led the first residential meditation retreats for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people. René is a restorative justice facilitator for the Ahimsa Collective, working to heal sexual and gender-based violence. ______________ To support our efforts to share these talks with LGBTQIA audiences worldwide, please visit https://gaybuddhist.org/There you can: Donate Learn how to participate live Find our schedule of upcoming speakers Join our mailing list or discussion forum Enjoy many hundreds of these recorded talks dating back to 1996 CREDITSAudio Engineer: George HubbardProducer: Tom BrueinMusic/Logo/Artwork: Derek Lassiter
Sometimes we go into a one-down space and spin in shame, other times we might go into a one-up space and justify our poor behavior by blaming others, both responses that harm our relationships. When we can, instead, approach our struggles from an ‘all people are equal' mentality, we have the capacity to offer ourselves grace for our humanity.

On today's episode, Dr. Karen Nelson is joined by Dr. Amanda Ihlenfeld, licensed psychologist here at Melrose. Karen and Amanda will discuss guilt and shame and how these two emotions interact with eating disorders. While guilt and shame are common to the human experience, eating disorders are powerfully impacted by these emotions.
