Creating a bright future requires letting go of past failures, and that is easier said than done. To let go of a failure requires confronting it and learning from it, so you do not have to repeat it. When you can look at your past mistakes without regret, you are free from them. A mistake occurs when you do not have a clear intention that encompasses the realities you are facing. Revisiting your mistakes in a caring way allows you to see what actually happened and why you did what you did.
If you are willing to consider that everything you have done, good or bad, seemed like a good idea at the time, you will finally be in a position to free yourself from the incidents that still hold your attention and stop you from creating a future.
When you are able to examine every disaster you have experienced and see what you did or failed to do that caused it to occur, you will be free to create whatever future you wish. If you are trying to find a reason to blame yourself or others for your fate, you will continue to wallow in the mystery of why things went wrong.
The only reason that things go wrong is that you did not understand the rules that applied to that situation. You made an assumption, based on incomplete or missing information, and it turned out to be wrong. There are rules like gravity and inertia that apply to the physical universe, even when you are ignorant of them. There are rules for the interchange of information that apply, even when you do not know the customs or language. When you violate these rules, you create upsets and violent reactions, even if your intentions are peaceful and your intention is to help. If you have ever been attacked for healing someone or have been bitten when trying to save an animal, your attempt at communication was misunderstood.
We tend to think that our good intentions will carry the day, but our ignorance of local agreements and customs will invariably wound us and leave us fixated on the damage that occurred. This fixation on past painful events prevents us from freely creating a new future and cripples us spiritually forever more. If we do not revisit our past errors and learn why things went wrong, we will continue to repeat these errors and accumulate more pain and unconsciousness as time goes on. The result is that we become less able to create solutions and become stupider as time goes on. Eventually, we become too stupid to live and reincarnate as some lower life form or fail to reincarnate at all.
If we recover our ability to recognize existing agreements and to join people and groups with agreements that promote our survival, we are able to create a bright future for ourselves and for those who support us. A group of us have been working to develop a Spiritual Rescue Technology, which is based on our observations of the agreements and activities of the spiritual universe.
