Transgression Into Virtue Saturday June 18, 2011

We all do some pretty bad things in our life, and some of us want to take responsibility for that.  When it comes to ‘repenting,’ it’s not about beating ourselves over the head. It's about transforming the transgression into a virtue. 
It’s never JUST about the 1%--about what you did. It’s about where your head is at.  It’s about what consciousness was born as a result of that action. That’s why angels are in heaven and people are down here on earth. 
If the 1% thing you did (i.e. drugs, cheating, hurting someone) was what needed to happen to finally get your head in the right place to say, “I’ve had enough of this…” then that is how the transgression becomes a virtue.
