‘Mistakes and errors’ are part of the evolutionary process and common to everyone. In the eyes of the Divine, they are not mistakes but steps on the evolutionary journey. The consequence of these actions done in ignorance is that one learns by direct experience of the results and sees how deceptive appearances can be. This learning, which is a constant ongoing process in everyone, is part of the process through which we progress inwardly. The lesson gets embedded and inbuilt in the soul and adds to the growing knowledge and power. What you call as mistakes are simply challenges through which we grow. There is no reward or punishment either, but a learning through the consequences. The best way to take it is to learn and move forward inwardly, even if the outer circumstances do not immediately change. There is no point in lamenting because we do not know what consequences the other choices, the so-called ‘right choices,’ would have led to. All our choices made in ignorance are simply variations of the same unconsciousness under which we live and act. Blame and guilt have no meaning therefore. One should trust the Divine Grace and its Wisdom that leads us through everything and keep looking forward towards the future. That is the only way to leave the past behind.
Affectionately,
