Laying Blame - Ted Slipchinsky

Galactic Free Press's picture

There is nobody to blame for your travails. Every word you have ever spoken, every act, every dream, every song, every prayer, every shout, every angry deed is a muffled cry to the Energy that gave you life; a longing to return to the Great River from which you never really left. And now that this Energy is upon you, a part of you desperately wants to flee, to hesitate at the gate, or to lay the blame on somebody else for all your perceived hardships.

Laying blame is the most seductive of human acts. The ghost of self-righteousness wraps itself about you in its slow dance, whispering that there are no fears to look at, nothing that you must face; all your pain is created by "the other".

In the past perhaps this seemed easier than having to proclaim your own Divinity. But not now. As long as you allow yourself to be seduced, you will never be free. And now "the other" is being pushed - by the same accelerating Energy that is upon you - to proclaim their freedom, because as Gods we cannot live unfree; it is a violation of what we are...and it will not be sustained.
