ícone Learning from our mistakes
 

Perfection is still a distant stage for Human kind.

All human beings have moral pitfalls and fail.

In reality, failing is not a scandal in the context of the Divine Laws.

God did not create perfect creatures, but rather ever-perfecting ones.

The Spirits incarnate and reincarnate an infinite number of times to develop the virtues which potential is inherent to them.

So that they grow in willingness, wisdom and love, Spirits are given free will.

If they were not allowed to make choices, they would be nothing but puppets.

As they can choose, it is natural that they are not always happy with their actions.

The other side of this learning process is responsibility.

As Humans develop their consciousness and will, the influence of primitive instincts declines and their freedom expands.

Humans become increasingly responsible for their actions and thoughts.

Slip-ups are natural for those transitioning from ignorance to wisdom.

It is just necessary to repair all the damages caused.

Exactly for that, it is a sign of immaturity refusing to admit one's own mistakes.

Humility is a pre-requisite of learning.

Whoever sees himself infallible and superior to all will hold his progress stalled.

To get tuned to life, one needs to be aware of the Progress Law.

The whole Universe is dynamic.

All animal and vegetable species are in constant state of improvement.

Even the physical condition of the Earth is not static.

Just like the inferior species, Humans have a role to play in the Creation concert.

Humans are part of nature and must be progress agents.

But to boost progress, one must always be in evolution.

Therefore, in order to fulfill your existence mission, make a commitment to always improve yourself.

Admit your imperfections, but do not accommodate with them.

Sometimes you will fail, but this is normal.

Make sure you learn with your mistakes in order to avoid repeating them.

Also take responsibility for the good or bad consequences of your actions.

Repair all damages that you eventually produce.

Pay your debts, apologize and recover your reputation with others.

Without a doubt, it is necessary some effort to recognize a mistake and ratify one's own path.

But you will live forever.

You certainly wish to one day be a wise and peaceful person.

As no one will do your work, make an effort to become this person from now on.

When you refuse to admit a mistake, you delay the realization of your enlightened destiny.

Focus on your role as a student and demonstrate goodwill towards life.

Do not hold yourself to small things like vanity and pride.

These moral cracks only make you unhappy.

Learn to do good without any personal or hidden interest.

Love and respect life, be noble and sympathetic.

In the beginning, some discipline may be necessary.

But with time, you will incorporate this way of living and will be a wonderful person.

This is a goal worth fighting for.
