mistakes are opportunities for learning

[Plenum]

So essentially you are saying that adopting an attitude of "mistakes are an opportunity for learning" means we can do no wrong?

yes, the relationship to one's perceived mistakes or errors becomes a more healthy one than the one I previously outlined (being paralysed by one's past mistakes).

the benchmark for a current 'mistake' for me would be:

* not perceiving the love in a situation
* not perceiving the other self as creator in any given situation
* a feeling of running away from a situation (ie not accepting the opportunity of catalyst in a given situation)

things are actually quite well and smooth in the present; this was more undoing some knots of the past that still cast their shadows occasionally. You know those occasional moments when you are knocked off your sense of clarity of consciousness, or peace of mind? and you want to figure out why? and there is nothing to the present that you can trace it to? but it seems like an echo of the past? yeah, that's the shift in perspective.
