Spiritual awakening and Spiritual gifts

At Flicker--

I like your list of things to do; it resembles something I wrote a while back called "The Rules".

But as to confessing.  To whom?  Certainly, not the clergy ... they're just functioning as intel agents in that role.

The conclusion I have come to is that is okay to confess to one's self.  Be true to yourself and make yourself speak the confession of wrong having been done as well as acknowledgment that it -was- not a good thing to do or say.  That goes a long way towards self-correction of unworthy behavior and speech.

Cheers--

I see it as a philosophy that when you make a mistake, you're going to have to swallow your pride, put your ego aside, and admit it to yourself first. I usually go straight to prayer and ask God to forgive me. Finally we find the person we have wronged, and we make that amends anyway we can. Depending on how we've wronged the individual. Simply making it right. Balancing things back to what they should be.


That's the way I see that.
