Self-Blame

"Suppose you’re a soul who tried to make everything alright, even when it isn’t. How it appears to others is very important. In truth, it has no importance. How you see something for yourself – that is important. You think that you did something wrong, because of what happened in your family long ago. You have to let go of that. It kind of floats underneath the surface of most things that go on in your life. So it translates to you that you must go out and give spiritual truths. You go out and teach and heal. That is very good. But the motive behind it is what is blocking you. You feel if you do all this now, it’s going to make what was then go away. And it won’t. You have to give from your heart because you want to, not to make right something that is no longer so."
