Resentment and blame are toxins to the soul, affecting you more than anyone else. Our wounded ego often believes that blaming or holding resentment gives us control over others or situations. In reality, it immerses us in a victim mindset.
Imagine resentment as poisoning yourself while hoping the other person suffers. Viewing anger, blame, and resentment as soul poisons may help you let them go.
These emotions stem from our thoughts and beliefs. For instance, if Susan believed, "God is punishing me," she might see herself as a victim, leading to anger and resentment. But these beliefs don't reflect reality. Such resentment is a signal that our thinking is off track, as these thoughts are from the wounded self and not rooted in truth. Truth doesn't provoke anger or fear?"it can evoke sadness and grief, like the loss of Susan's son. However, anger arises from assigning blame.
Susan's truth, expressed in the interview, is faith-based: her son has transitioned to another stage of existence. Her belief in a loving God and the persistent soul allows her to grieve without resentment. She refuses to let loss poison her soul.
"Sin," biblically translated, means being off the mark. When our thoughts and actions divert from love and truth, we're "sinning" against ourselves. God encompasses truth, love, peace, and joy. Lacking these qualities, leads to negativity?"anger, fear, depression, resentment?"which harms the soul.
Our ego-driven self, seeking control to feel loved and safe, fabricates thoughts that mislead. The ego can't discern truth; it craves control, which opposes love. Truth doesn’t originate from the mind but from Spirit when we’re open to learning.
Emotions like anger, resentment, and fear signal that we're straying from truth, allowing ego to dominate. By opening your heart to truth and love, you shift from negativity to peace and joy, even amidst sadness.
Susan Saint James demonstrated this beautifully. Though grieving, she radiated truth, courage, and faith. Her experience is a profound gift and a powerful reminder of resilience.
