Comments on: The flame of blame http://www.loving-awareness.org/2008/05/03/the-flame-of-blame/ A Journey to Wholeness This feed is channeling based. It relates to metaphysical subjects about the nature of Love and living your life from a place of joy. It encompasses personal growth and self-help, but tries to be universal as well, encompassing non-dogmatic spirituality, community, and even some emphasis on putting positive change to the world.

I practice putting an I in front of all reactions to others. Since our feelings are really projections onto others, this is a shortcut to identifying the "ego." Replacing you with I really puts a twist in the mind game of denying the feelings are yours. It is like a shortcut to acceptance of self!

I have read a lot of the ideas presented here in other places, and I think they have a lot of merit. It seems that when we blame others, we play the role of a victim and remove our own power to create in our own lives. As for the natural things that occur in life, it is better to respond to them rather than blaming God or someone else. In other words, we cannot control the weather or the death of a loved one, but we can control how we respond to it. Thanks for this post. Very interesting article.

“… there is a major difference between the natural consequences of one’s actions and assigned responsibility. Consequences are how we learn and grow. There is no way that these can stop. However, the mental “it’s because of him” thought process can stop.”

in my mind, how we think about causality is one of our bigger stumbling blocks to living better and coexisting more peacefully.

also, i find it interesting that when i am deeply in the now, i am not very interested in assigning causes/responsibility. whatever is in front of me, there it is, i deal with it naturally (in the “when hungry, eat” type of fashion), and then move on.

sending you good wishes, with the hope that your illness moves on quickly, too …
