wrong we have done in their lives to other people. It does mean that we need to take a reasonable

amount of time to look back and to evaluate honestly what was really at play in any particular 

situation, where the two parties were really coming from, and where each conducted themselveswith less than universal love.

We cannot change the past; we cannot undo the influence that we have upon other people by

our thoughts and our feelings and our reactions, but we can learn from that experience and makea personal commitment never to treat anyone with that lack of respect again. If that person is still

in our life, we can have the grace to apologise, and share our learning experience, and say, “I’m

sorry that i used to be like that. I want to be like this, now, and i hope that you will help.”It is only by acknowledging our past weaknesses, and sharing our future aspirations, that we

can experience the support and encouragement of others on our journey to self-actualisation. If 

we are not willing to admit that we have ever made a mistake, ever reacted inappropriately, ever 

deliberately hurt someone, then we cannot admit that we need to change, or that we need other  people’s help in doing so. It is, from a soul evolution perspective, selfdefeating behaviour to

remain in situations made from the lower consciousness that create less than fulfiling situations

and relationships in our lives.
