error's instruction...

what is a mistake? the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines a mistake as the following:

• to blunder in the choice of
• a : to misunderstand the meaning or intention of : misinterpret b : to make a wrong judgment of the character or ability of
• to identify wrongly : confuse with another

what is a lesson?  referring to the same source, the definition of a lesson is:

• a passage from sacred writings read in a service of worship
• a : a piece of instruction b : a reading or exercise to be studied by a pupil c : a division of a course of instruction
• a : something learned by study or experience b : an instructive example c : reprimand

why is this relative to the mind's truth?

quite simply because if it is not realized that mistakes & lessons are synonymous, a great many problems experienced by humans are not properly put into perspective. a much more constructive life dynamic can be created once it is realized that mistakes are not something to be regretted. this does not mean mistakes should be embraced &/or sought after. it does mean that humans should be seeking knowledge infinitely.

every time a mistake is made an opportunity to learn is presented. what are the lessons associated w/the particular mistake? we have to be vigilant in pursuing such information. there are always lessons associated w/mistakes. some are more clearly evident than others. the apparent problem that many of us have as humans is our inability &/or unwillingness to listen to these lessons. many of these lessons are reflections of universal laws. it would appear that much human suffering is caused by ignoring the lessons of the universe.

something that i have been noticing more lately is that these lessons don't just come from human experience. there are those who clearly recognize that it is in an individual's best interest to be able to learn the lessons from the mistakes of other humans. how many pay attention to the rest of the universe? how many would actually consider the lessons of animals? modern society seems to ignore many of the universal lessons that have been taught for what appears to be as long as anyone can suggest reality has existed. many of these lessons are not exclusive to human experience.

in my observation, human arrogance has lead to the establishment & perpetuation of an environment where we repeatedly ignore universal messages & substitute them w/essentially artificial messages created by our finite perceptions. this is a great mistake. we would seem to have not quite yet learned the lesson from this mistake. i would suggest such based on the surprise that is exhibited by humans when we experience the truths of the universe. the more harsh the truth the more clearly it seems that we have yet to learn the lesson.

make like humans have stopped working to destroy life...
