There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be anybody to blame. This concept belongs to the ego and serves no other function than to keep us entangled in the illusion of separateness. However, while there is no blame, there are consequences. We cannot help making the choices we do because they are the manifestations of who we are at the moment they are made, but we also cannot hope to avoid the consequences that follow these choices, since they are the manifestations of immutable laws that define this universe.
Our salvation is to be found in these consequences and, in particular, the undesirable consequences. When we find ourselves in places we long not to be, we are motivated to understand how what we have done in the past determines where we find ourselves in the present. And through this process we come to know how it all is and, in so doing, embark on a journey that, for those who preserver, will end in the experience of self-realization and the transcendence of this separateness.
