>"Also ask your heart to purify and cleanse
this defect and harmful desire. Ask also
the help of the inner father and mother.
Every time we eliminate a defect, we build
our soul, our inner temple. We ascend.
like going up a stairway."
>-- Willaru Huayata, QUECHUA NATION, PERU
>The building blocks to knowledge and wisdom
are constructed through the lessons of
our character defects if we constructively
review our conduct each day, asking where
we are resentful, selfish, dishonest, or afraid.
Remember, we need to review constructively,
not destructively. Destructive review is when
we ask, "what's the matter with me anyway."
or "how could I be so stupid?" These
question lead to morbid reflection or remorse
and seriously affect our self esteem. In
constructive review we ask, "what will I do next
time?" With constructive review we progressively
eliminate the defect and replace it with wisdom.
>My Creator,
allow me to
have my
defects because
through them I
gain in
knowledge of
Your will.
