Blinding flash of the obvious: Every mistake I make is for my own good for this is the seed of humility aborning.
That is one of those comforting/oh-no spiritual facts. According to me.
Humility. I'm guessing all sincere spiritual seekers recognize humility as essential to our personal growth. We may recognize it, but who amongst us goes looking to be gifted with it? Humility does not come with shouts of hurrahs and a brass band marching along side. On its way to becoming our own, we dread that it is going to feel like sackcloth and ashes.
However, it is not until we accept our mistake and 'fess up to ownership, that we know freedom...which to the more pious feels...well, I don't know, not being one of those. I do know how the defiant feels..."so sue me" is often our first feeling. But we get there however we get there, and thank you, Jesus.
What we must accept is that for every mistake we make, it is in our admission of responsibility for it that is humility. To cover our mistake up, to hide it, to lie about it...the reasoning mind CYA response...is an avoidance of the humility we seek. It is ego-ism in God's seat.
The CYA response is just another detour on our return journey to our destination: the before-conception pool of God consciousness. Think about it: Humility is our inner-NetJets to God.
Thank you.
