Helen Luke It is the breakthrough of forgiveness, in its most profound sense—universal and particular, impersonal and personal—that alone brings the 'letting go', the ultimate freedom of the spirit. For in the moment of that realisation every false guilt, whether seen as one's own or as other people's, is gone forever—and the real guilt which each of us carries, of refusal to see, to be aware, is accepted. So we may look open-eyed at ourselves and the world and suffer the pain and joy of the divine conflict which is the human condition, the meaning of incarnation. Old Age, p 45
