The Immortal Way does not blame.

There is no blame for yourself or anyone else in the way of perfect life. To blame yourself or another is turning back and injuring again with what went wrong.

Allow a mistake to have happened, and correct your direction. But do not dive back to experience the injury again, for no reason. Learn by a mistake. Posses the knowledge of that mistake fully, and move on. Needless blame takes you back and holds you in error.

Take the blame away by taking responsibility for what went wrong. Learn the lesson, and go on.

Mistakes give strength when we take ownership of  the wrong, and learn and go on. To blame interrupts this natural process and keeps us stuck in a place of no power.

We always have a part in a mistake, if it is only our reaction to something someone else did wrong to us. We always have a part in the pain we make for ourselves. To own our mistake in taking on the pain, needlessly, is where the strength comes from… to know our mistake and build strength at that place, the place of mistake.

Pain leads us out of error, but blame keeps us stuck in the pain with no way out. Be careful with blame.  Ask yourself how it serves you? What does blame accomplish? Is it helping or hurthing?

Own your power, by owing up to your mistakes. All mistakes have gold to give. All mistakes have the ability to give back to oursleves our real power we have lost at some point in the past. Mistakes have the ability to give back to us what we have lost. The information of a wrong event is always potential gold.
