Bo Yin Ra,<\/em> The Book of the Living God<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cMany things about you are still \u2018guilt\u2019 and \u2018sin,\u2019 although they by no means deserve such condemnation\u2014and other things you take lightly and even see in them your \u2018virtues,\u2019 although they are a ruinous temptation for you\u2026 Rather seek guilt and sin\u2014but beware of the will to \u2018holiness\u2019!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

At the moment when you feel that dreadful sense of guilt that makes your shoulders slump and makes you feel heavy and unworthy, remember Bo Yin Ra\u2019s thought. And then lift your head with the greatest love for yourself that you can gather.<\/p>\n

Because, as Don Miguel Ruiz writes, \u201cwhat does it actually mean to make a mistake?<\/a>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
