When humans are in a time of personal darkness, love dissipates in their life. You either come to accept that state of being or begin to desire the return of love. When this desire starts, you will feel the beginnings of change, but you will not be able to see how it will turn out.
This is where faith comes into your journey. Having felt the change, but not being able to see what it means, it takes faith to keep going along the loving path as for many it is easier to remain in darkness, just because what it holds is known.

Crazyhorse on, going with the flow
The river makes its way to its destination by following a pathway of least resistance. Where there is a blockage to the flow of the water it moves around it. The mantra of the river is that the water must flow on. To be on the river floating down is to go with the flow. This is fine if you want to go exactly where the river takes you.
For a human to want to go with the flow is to only desire getting to the end of this life with the least resistance. Humans meet boulders of resistance which is often karma and if not then it is an opportunity to learn this life. Each time resistance is encountered it will challenge your values. Getting to the end point of a journey is not as important as standing firm on your principals, which means overcoming the resistance
Going with the flow is not a suitable mantra for humans and certainly not for humans who desire growth. There is much more to your life than living to die.

Crazy Horse on Guilt
I was once an Indian. As you know I am not now, I am an entity in spirit and as is the custom in the spiritual world, identify myself by my last life. However, there is much mankind can learn from the way of the Indian.
When a child was born to one of my people, it is true they were told stories of the deeds of their ancestors from which they could learn, but what they learned from the stories was up to them. When it was time to have a vision quest, we did not dictate what each brave could expect from the quest, that was up to them. In ways such as this each person set their values for life from within the broader values of our community as passed down through stories. For example, I did not believe or practice a lot of the rituals of the Indian people. This made me different, but still an Indian and accepted as me.
By being allowed this type of freedom, there was little to no guilt in us for choosing our own way.
White man is more instructional (which they believe to be equated to discipline) than the Indian was. You are told what to do and punished for not doing it. This goes to the family, school and cultural environments. Therefore, there is very limited exploration of your own values as a child, more a mindless following of what is taught so as to avoid punishment.
This brings on a mindset of being wrong or naughty if you do not follow exactly what you have been taught to do. This causes guilt.
Therefore, society is teaching people to dispassionately follow a creed set down for them by others without any reference to their own needs.
When this is varied from it is frowned upon by many and guilt follows. Guilt is redundant and disappears from a person's life only when they truly form their own values and identity and follow them passionately.
