The illusion of Atonement - Releasing our Essence from Bondage

Whether or not we look at ourselves as healers, irrespective of the type of work or service we provide, each of us carries within in us a need, hidden or otherwise, for atonement. However, atonement seeks to pay back debts, either personal or global, that simply cannot be repaid. When we act from a place of seeking atonement, or as a hidden need to pay a penance, those acts never become sufficient, the debt can never be re-paid. This is not because a Divine authority refuses the payment of debt, it is because when we are caught in a cycle of paying for a never ending debt of guilt, no matter what we do, who we serve, it can never be enough. It behoves us to step to one side and allow Grace to step in.
