Chapter 12: Celestial Sin, Error, and Mistakes
“The highest form of human intelligence is to observe everything, including the self without any form of judgement.” – Krishnamurti
Just as it takes practice to be in a state of alignment with the universe within you, it also takes practice to live in continual celestial sin. There are just as many opportunities in this world to sell yourself short as there are to elevate yourself. Ultimately, awareness is key to minimize the number of mistakes you experience. Now, this sounds kind of like I am saying you should watch what you do carefully and avoid certain things to attain a perfect life. While it is important to be aware of what does not benefit you and what does, more importantly than that, the way you treat your mistakes is ultimately what causes the most suffering. For example, the word “sin” etymologically means “guilt.” Guilt is what I like to call a “stagnant emotion.” A “stagnant emotion” is one that you hold onto and do not allow to move fluidly through your body. The same emotion that creates guilt, when moving fluidly through the body is called “regret.” This is so incredibly important to remember because we cannot truly learn from an experience when it stays locked up inside us. It is only when that experience has moved through our body and re-emerged in a form where we can use our perspective to analyze that we are able to utilize it as a tool, much in the same way that you can envision a picture inside of you, but you must use tools outside of you to create an image that has a more permanent effect.
