Lesson 90: In This Lifetime...
Whether it is this lifetime or another, there will be times when we hurt others and others hurt us. By really accepting this allows us to open our consciousness. We can hold the compassion for this which then frees ourselves. Today is about considering the following – do you think you can allow yourself to be free of self-loathing for past mistakes or what you may have done to others?
I think it would take some good reflection, acceptance, self-awareness, forgiveness, releasing and compassion in order to stop yourself from self-loathing. I think it would take some time to work through your own battles, but I truly believe everyone can apply compassion to themselves in order to move forward. Whatever you did was definitely in the past, though if you apply your own understanding of why you chose to hurt someone, then it allows for all the acceptance and forgiveness to follow suit.
Sometimes people can’t or don’t want to face up to their truths. There is so much vulnerability by admitting to yourself, let alone others. You do need self-awareness to recognise how your actions has hurt another. You can only then understand and accept, reflect on it and forgive, then move onto applying compassion to yourself and then release it back into the Universe. I don’t think it can be done overnight, but definitely should be done at your own pace. I think it can be very confronting to look at those moments when you hurt another person. If you need to say sorry, then do it. Your words to another may be all that is needed to move forward also.
