REDACTING
Redacting is one method of “erasing” something you don’t want others to see—yet it remains—in a shadow, an old file, a memory, or a displaced/hidden copy. The only way to erase something that has already occurred is to prevent it—to live your life employing the Highest ideas, intentions, and actions possible.
We cannot live perfect lives: 1) perfection in humanity is myth 2) mistakes form part of the learning process 3) we are in constant growth 4) Great All is a tapestry and therefore you are subject to the beliefs and opinions of other persons, times, and conditions
When you attempt to Redact something, this something has already occurred. It is history. You cannot change history. You can make reparations for wrong-doing. You can deeply listen and try to understand opposing views. You can take responsibility, rather than hiding, making excuses, and placing blame.
If you would like to successfully Redact something, erase the false beliefs that have guided you in the past. Delete your own self-doubts. Decide to forgive someone who has injured you. See the past as a younger and less sure version of your Self, and work to improve that Self in the present. Take responsibility for former mistakes without self-punishing. Balance the scales where there was past harm done by your actions.
Today,
work towards creating a Life that requires no Redacting. Forgive those who have
harmed you, and forgive your Self for harm you’ve done. Create a future that is
transparent and accessible in all the ways that you deal with others. Live not
in the shadows, but shine so brightly the shadows disappear.
