Does that blessing include when our own egoic mind reviles us and persecutes us and utters all manner of evil against us falsely? Probably not, being as the determiner is "on My account." When have I ever said all manner of evil against me for the Lord's sake?...or for any spiritual reason? Remorses are ego-born and bred...but just knowing that, admitting that, will not stop them or change them up.
The reasoning mind's admission of regrets is an invitation to wallow in shame and blame which actually nurtures them...all that attention grows them stronger. Accepting regrets with a merciful heart, with love and laughter, is to hold them tenderly. Thus they are not expelled but are becoming our teacher.
Our rues, regrets and remorses are our steep steps to the kingdom of heaven, God consciousness. They are not banished, they are transmuted. Transmuted along with those steep steps to God's hidey hole...ah, they have become the wings of our dove. Not to be too fanciful about it.
But why not be fanciful? Face it, fanciful in spiritual growth is better than beating up on ourself and calling that spiritual growth. That's just wrong.
Just as a reminder, here's my spiritual short-cut, a one-size-fits-all Golden Rule: Just try not to be as nasty as you want to be.
God doesn't care how we come to him...his doors are always open with love.
Thank you.
