Remorse of Conscience has been an extremely complicated and emotion invoking chapter to work with. I started to say it was a thought provoking chapter, but that ignores the emotion and sensing of this powerful relationship and this lesson. How could I possibly see my mother as a saint? Yes, she gave me life. But was she holy, magnanimous and devoid of sin? Not in this lifetime. While listening to the class last week I had a sense that sainthood meant clarity and coming from the light. In order for me to see my mother in a place of clarity and purity I must first reach that place of clarity and purity within my whole self and my entire life. By whole self , I mean the combination of my physical, emotional and mental existence. By whole life, I mean this day, and all the days of every life that came before and all the lives that will ensue afterwards. If I truly accept time is a continuum and not linear, this purity of energy, this freedom, this remorse of conscience, will recombine all the fragments of myself lost in moments throughout lifetimes. This single event would hold my mother, my self and my lineage in a state of gratitude and light.
Nice post Diana – If we can reach, as you say, “that place of clarity and purity” then it seems we have a saintly place for our mothers and daughters to reflect on – then maybe that part can come out in her?
