Much of what seems so real in this physical dimension is not the entire Truth of who we are and/or what we can do. Over the last decade, I have allowed myself to both explore and expand beyond the physical, mental and emotional boundaries I thought were rigidly in place in this "reality". What I found was an aspect of Self that I had forgotten was there. I offer these wonderings and wanderings as an invitation to see beyond "what meets the eye", MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and "why can't I?" in your life!
I wish that each and every person realized the power that she/he holds within ... a power that's just waiting to be realized. Many times we are held captive not by outside forces, but by inner dialog which holds us down and keeps us small.
We truly hold the key to our own release from captivity.
Once we become aware of this chatter, and look at it as if we were an uninterested third party, we can begin to evaluate whether we want to own those thoughts or just love them free.
Many times we look back on a situation or situations in our lives and harshly judge ourselves. We may be filled with regret and remorse over our actions. We feel we have made a big MISTAKE. Many people cannot forgive themselves of the mistake(s) they see in their lives.
Let's talk about the television and film industry as a way to see this all a bit more clearly. When a network or production company is filming a show, even a half-hour show, they easily spend hours filming. They have "take1", "take2", "take3", etc. They keep doing the scene over and over until it is the way they want it to be.
I contend that we can forgive and heal from this event if we see it not as a "mistake" but as a "mis-take" (take1, take2, take3, etc.). The only mistake there can truly be on our part is when we know there are negative ramifications to self/others from our behaviors and we choose them anyway. To take this a step deeper, while we may have progressed in our own spiritual growth to that point at which we would not judge another person, we are quick to judge ourselves. When we see that we are most likely not the same person now that we were when we made this so-called "poor decision", we can hopefully see how unfair we are being to ourselves. We can find a space of love and compassion from which to regard ourselves.

Life is filled with lessons, mis-takes if you will. If we are able to see on 'take1" that the behavior did not serve us and others well, we can easily move to "take2", making a decision that's largely guided by how "take1" went, and know "it's a wrap". However, some times we fail to know or recognize that "take1" could have been better. Some time passes and then we are faced with "take2", "take3" and so on. Once we recognize the lessons and rise to the opportunities to make decisions that better serve others and ourselves, "it's a wrap" and those challenges/lessons no longer stare us in the face.
It is also my KNOWING that these mis-takes are best viewed as gifts. They have brought us to be at this point in which we see that we want to do things differently. Embrace them. Love yourself for growing to the point of seeing things from a different, more expansive perspective. I believe this statement bears repeating ...
The only mistake there can truly be on our part is when we know there are negative ramifications to self/others from our behaviors and we choose them anyway.

Good article. I know you mentioned this when you talked to Dr. Pat. I know for me I took a take 1 which was my first mistake. I took take 2 by going down a different road instead of listening to my inner speak. I then took take 3 which lead me to where I am today. For me it is this final take that I play over and over again in my head. For me I do not see a way out of this and will continue to play this over and over again until I am no longer here.
ReplyDeleteDearest United Against. I can only say that while you feel Take 3 was also a, and perhaps your greatest, mistake there may be other positive (even Brilliant) aspects of this decision that ripple through the web of life and which you cannot see from your vantage point. Perhaps this decision impacted others or was a pivotal moment in which they had a choice to choose their greater moment. I send you love and the wish that you may trust in the beautiful synchronicity of "the Universe" and your importance in it. And, I pray that you do not have to wait until you transition to another realm and see the overall perfection in the role you played.
