I am grateful that we can receive tremendous, life-transforming benefit from applying 1 or 2 simple spiritual tools each day. A few minutes of clear intentional heart-centered choices each day will literally change your life. It sure has changed mine.
One awareness that has really activated my experience of Freedom is to move out of thinking that I’ve wasted any time. It’s so tempting to align with the ego and judge the use of time and energy in the past. I find that it’s best not to look back except to celebrate how far we’ve come! The other choice is to compare and despair. That’s not helpful.
I’ve made millions of mistakes in my life. I make mistakes every day. I used to judge my mistakes, and now I realize that they are one way I learn.
I am a learner. I LIKE learning. I used to HATE making mistakes. I used to BERATE myself for making mistakes until I began a personal practice of nonviolence and then my commitment to living a nonviolent life led me to realize that berating myself for ANYTHING was subjecting myself to intense mental and emotional violence. That stopped me cold!
I prefer to harvest the Wisdom from my mistakes and I don’t mind making them, most of the time.
Right now, I’m preparing for a 5-day seminar with my beautiful teacher, Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo. I once heard her say, “Our painful experiences become compost in which the Seeds of Wisdom grow.”
Our Seeds of Wisdom are planted in all of us. I’ve realized that if I judge my errors, (or someone else’s), it takes longer for it to break down and become compost. Judgment makes it harder for the Wisdom seeds to grow.
Are there any errors that you’ve made that you’re still judging? Release the judgment so you can harvest the Wisdom!
I feel so uplifted from our recent Living A Course in Miracles series of 11 free classes. I got to share so much about the expansion into Wisdom that’s unfolding for all of us. Sharing is so sweet! – the replays, downloads and transcripts are all free and available to listen to right now. I’ve had so many e-mails from people telling me that they are really shifting their thinking and feeling so inspired and uplifted! YES! Perfect for a long holiday weekend!
If you’re finding what I’m sharing to be helpful, won’t you please share at facebook and twitter to let others know? Thank you!
