Kabbalistic teachings urge us to self-analysis and question ourselves at all times.
God communicated to Adam that he had sinned.
Adam replied, “Yes, I have sinned – but it was Eve who led me to it!”
Well, there it is… the magic, the right word, “but”…
Adam refused responsibility.
This is the awareness that we still maintain for the past 5000 years.
We blame the politicians, the rulers.
I blame the other.
I blame the colleague.
I blame anyone.
Except me.
Kabbalists teach that the entire story of The Zohar is NOT about some biblical characters and their lives in Paradise or in the Desert. It’s just a secret about human consciousness and our evolution, and about the oldest game in human existence – the blame game.
When we stop blaming (blaming and blaming) and instead choose to become the cause (those responsible) for our problems, we become the solution.
Reread this a few times, with special emphasis on the word “cause”.
The reason the blame game doesn’t bring us happiness is because consciousness creates reality. If we blame others, we will create a reality where others will constantly control our lives. When we become the cause of our problems, and the problems of the world, we go into “cause mode” and we can create our reality from a positive point of view.
When something is missing in our life, it is because we are still in effect/victim mode, blaming, reacting and not creating.
Here’s a secret: the negative traits we’ve already turned in ourselves are the traits we never judge in others.
The negative traits that are still unaltered, buried, and hidden within us are the traits we project onto people who share the same traits – and then we react and make judgments, judging those people!
It follows that we naturally feel compassion for people who have the same characteristics that we have already corrected in ourselves. It’s subconscious.
We blame and judge people who have the same negative traits and traits that we are still trying to hide from ourselves, unaware of their influence on us.
That’s how it works.
Not easy, right?
This is the root of the word “ but ” and the reason we blame and judge others.
