Atonement

It is important to regularly review the course of your life’s experience and reflect on how it has been lived to this point in time.  The measure of one’s life is a matter of personal perspective and honesty.  You must face any intentionally hurt or corrupt act that you have carried out.  Did you understand the consequences of your actions and the pain that it has cause?  If so, do you accept the ramifications that could befall you due to your action?

You cannot go back and change the course of action, at least in this lifetime.  Perhaps upon entering the next phase of your soul’s existence, you can make adjustments.  This is unclear in our present state of consciousness, although it has been said that we do.  Holding on to past actions does not clear the way for the necessary transformations to take place within the sphere of your consciousness.  You must go within and forgive yourself for your past endeavors and transgressions.  We do, as humans, make the wrong turns sometimes at crucial points in our lives, but we are capable of picking up the pieces and begin anew.

Every day is a new beginning and a chance to turn the page and start a next chapter, regardless of age or past indiscretions.   It is never too late.  There is always another chance, as this existence always offers choices.  Your new beginning can start now.  You cannot change what you have done in the past but you can learn from it and then leave it behind.  You do not have to carry guilty from the past.  It serves no purpose.  Certainly do what you can to correct your actions.  You cannot force others to forgive you but you certainly can forgive yourself.

 

The quality of life and your actions during life are judged primarily by you.  You have to forgive yourself before you can truly move ahead.  We must accept the ramifications of our acts and how it affected others.  Guilt is a human character trait but it does not help in correcting any issue.  It is said that in the afterlife, we understand the repercussions of our acts and we will judge ourselves accordingly.

In religious terms, God is love and total compassion.  Do you believe that such a spirit would act out of vengeance?  This pure spirit would forgive all acts and offer love in its place. 

If we are an individual with total disregard for our fellow brother or sister and knowingly carry out acts which result in violence and pain for others and even for ourselves, we must understand that karmic law dictates that we will atone for our actions.  It is suggested by some that we will reap what we sow in our next incarnation.  Others suggest that we will not have to wait for future incarnation to balance the scales.  Our karmic debts will be paid during this lifetime one way or another.  It has been asked “Why would one pass on the mistakes and wrongdoings of this life into the next life experience?  Karma is here and now and we build on it by our actions of today.  Remember karma is at work constantly and if you change direction, you can draw positive karma your way in this life, as well.  Karma is played out over time.  What length of time is under debate.  Instant karma, however, seems to take place when one has truly opened the doors to enlightenment.

You can change the course of your life....today.......right now.  It is your call as you create your life and your reality by your belief structure, your thought process and your expectation.  If you need to make changes, change your life’s course today.  Why wait another moment?
