People make mistakes - mind the gap
Aug. 31st, 2005 05:11 pmOur mistakes show us the gaps in our consciousness - they either kill us, or we grow.
The inexcusable mistakes will kill us outright.
Even those fatal mistakes will often give us the opportunity for insight and time enough to make our peace.
The rest will require the exercise of free will, that we will inevitably either orbit these events for long periods of time like black holes in the past until we wither, or we will diligently seek to explore the meanings of the symbolism that represented through them, tracing our emotional connections to a relevent underlying reality.
Certainly, learning from our errors makes a huge difference for the impermanent states of mind and body but, with the conscious element of forgiveness, both in our interpersonal relationships and our intrapersonal, these lessons are tailored toward the maturation of the the soul.
