Message from the guidebook (Dr. Stephen Farmer – Animal Oracle) – Pause for a moment. Think of those times when you’ve acted thoughtless or foolish – perhaps even recently. How did you feel? Embarrassed? Ashamed? Well, it is time to let it go, to stop attaching or shaming yourself. It’s not just about forgiving yourself or blandly accepting these instances. It goes way beyond that to loving the fool inside, that part of you that with such childlike innocence behaves in a way that sometimes brings on social or self-condemnation. To sincerely and deeply love that part of you surpasses rote forgiveness or bland acceptance. It opens you to loving yourself unconditionally as well as loving the foibles of others. The burden of such shame is too great for anyone to carry. You must see these idiosyncrasies with a sense of humor. When you do something foolish, the sooner you can about it – with yourself, not at yourself – the sooner you can move to a place of true self-acceptance. It’s often only later, when we can look back at these situations, that we can discern the more important lessons and the wisdom contained within them.
