Evolution

Good Morning!

 

The blame game.

 

When we are children, we see out elders as omnipotent beings who know everything, they tell us hen to get dressed, they prepare our meals, they tell us when to go to bed, they tell us who we are. We depend on them for everything.

 

When we become teenagers, we refuse to believe that they could be right, without seeing it for ourselves, we judge and criticize everything outside our limited field of experience.

 

As adults, we see that our elders were humans, doing the best they could, under the circumstances and learn to forgive them and take responsibility for our life. We make choices, and set an example for our children.

 

The interesting thing is that we get stuck in certain phases of emotional and spiritual growth, and do not continue to evolve.

 

Some of us are still children, believing everything others tell us, letting others make our decisions, not trusting our own inner voice, or that of those who are walking their talk.

 

Some of us are adolescents, afraid to be wrong, or opposed to seeing there may be another way to do things, blaming and criticizing and judging.

 

Some of us are adults, and see that we do not have all the answers that failure is an opportunity to learn and seek out guidance from those we respect, by looking at the example they set by their actions and their life. We have learned that there is spiritual guidance by trusting the Universal family; the inner voice that speaks the truth.

 

Our goal is to become the Elder, to trust that all of our experiences are lessons, that we give counsel only when asked, be an example of walking in Beauty, in deed and word.

Loving unconditionally and having compassion for others in whatever phase of growth they may be in.

Trusting that the higher order has purpose and we have all the guidance within ourselves.

That we can communicate with God anytime we are still and present, and knowing when to ask for help.

 

Where are you in the evolution of the self?

 

Here is the thought for the day-

 

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent;

the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult;

the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.
