YOU AND YOU ALONE

There is a lot of moaning and groaning about the state of the world, the ineptness of the government, the crappy attitude of their employees, the unjust tax rates, police brutality, and maybe even the unreasonable price of candy bars. And on and on and on. Oh, and let’s not leave out global warming. That’s a big one and will be until the global freeze hits and catches the experts with their collective pants down.

Anyway, many people spend most of their life complaining and whining and pointing their finger at perceived shortcomings of others but never, of course, at their own. And when something goes wrong, rest assured they will tell you it’s someone else’s fault.

It’s true that the way things are in this world are far from perfect and often they seem unfair and stupid, but name calling and fault finding won’t change them.

This earth is a school for Soul, pure and simple, and it can truly be a school of hard knocks. The traits described above are emotional and mental flaws and must be overcome before Soul can advance to higher levels. It’s all part of the curriculum.

Although it can be nice to belong to organizations and groups such as churches, magickal temples, service clubs, and they can sometimes help point you in the right direction, not a one of them can learn your lessons for you. And learn them you must. All of them. There are no shortcuts, and cheat sheets are not available.

Ultimately, you, and you alone, are responsible for where you currently are in life. Every decision you have made in the past has played a part in where you are and what you are experiencing at this moment.

And the decisions you make right now? They will shape your future, so it would be prudent to make those decisions wisely. What happens if you don’t? For the answer all you need to do is take a look at the current state of humanity.
