Truly in this creation the most realistic thing is that we are all learning and we are all a work in progress.
It's truly helpful to see ourselves that way. There are truly very few absolutes...or finalised works.
Even there are seven stones, where one is a more polished version of the other... each stone is a work in progress.
With this point of view or new attitude we were not or are not fully right or wrong. We were and are learning! We will always be learning!
This does not mean that we don't correct our errors. We do, that is what learning is. It also does not mean that we don't say we got it wrong and we made a msitake. We can acknowledge and express that we made mistakes, it menas that we do not identify with being wrong or right. We instead adopt the 'state of learning openess' as a way of being rather than being wrong or right as a way of being.
We truly suffer when we identify with being wrong or right.
We think the goal is to be right, but not really it is to learn what is right and wrong at a given time. We can't 'be' right because we are never fully right. Right or wrong is not a state or level of Being...
This attitude takes away the feelings of lament and sadness accompanied by the characteristic of low energy when we identify with we were or are wrong. It also takes away the feelings of frustration and tension with the characteristic of inflexibility and unforgivingness when we identify with being right.
Imagine to live without the depressions and disappointments that goes on when we made or make an apparent mess and without the rigid unforgiving loftiness when we believe we were or are right.
In Gnostic terms the egos of self-compassion, self-love and pride don't have much to feed themselves with, if we adopt this attiude.
Anything to make those parts of ourselves weaker!
End (5856).
