"I don't believe in guilt. I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free."

Shame on you Angelina, no one lives free. Even if it is not intentional, hurting someone happens and guilt tells us we did it, otherwise we skate thru totally unaware and uncaring. Just sayin.....,
I pulled this off Spirituality for Living and thought it was really good. that's why I shared. it. We distinguish between our thought, our behaviors and our impulsive behaviors, our conscious behaviors and our subconscious, but in fact no real division exists. All of our behaviors are ultimately impulsive. Every behavior we have at any moment, and every idea and experience we have ever had, are present at all times. This is why even our strangest behaviors, those that seem the most self destructive, remain remarkably consistent despite any effort at rational thought to control them. Some behaviors are so hard wired and impulsive that we don’t even have to learn the concrete components of them to be driven to act on them.
When we understand our behaviors as impulses rather than the dramatic blurbs of our emotion/memories, we can then look at how each behavior shows up and see how they flow together naturally. Impulses are all life affirmative. It’s the conflicts we set up regarding our impulses that turn them into self destructive behaviors.
It is good and I can even relate to some of it but I am concerned about the absence of guilt or conscience as it were. Our whole world seems to be operating on a "not me I didn't do anything wrong", or" it's not MY fault",or "I am a victim of past wrongs, therefore not responsible for what "I do" from now on. Where will this take us down the road, will we become a world of there is no right or wrong? I have to wonder and worry. I want us all to be held responsible or how can we ever become better?
It's Angelina Jolie we're talking about here. Girl could get away with murder if she really wanted to. Thankfully we're just talking about not feeling guilty.
