My holiness is my salvation. If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? Your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your world, the whole world stands to benefit. Your holiness means the end of guilt, and therefore the end of hell. My unloving thoughts about [_________] are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my salvation.
From Elena:
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and fidn all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." (T-16.IV.6.1)
It is imperative to search for our unloving thoughts and to see them differently. We can't see anything differently if we push unloving thoughts in the dark corners of own mind or deny them or confuse attack thoughts with loving thoughts (e.g., passionate love/ special relationships). The idea is not to be without these thoughts but to bring our unloving thoughts to Jesus's love so he can reinterpret them.
