It is important to know that self-reflection is closely connected to your view of the world. I would like you to be aware that in the world that links this world to the spirit world, self-reflection works according to the same principles as the laws of physics, in the context of the Truth. I would also like you to be aware that self-reflection is what determines your path.

While people live in this world, they are blind, and because there is much they do not understand, they make many mistakes. However, God and the angels, Buddha and the Bodhisattva in heaven, understand this. They know only too well that when they themselves are reborn into this world, they like everyone else must grope to find their way, so they have a deep compassion for those who live on Earth.

Human beings all make mistakes; they have been blessed with the freedom to do so. This is allowed because they have the ability to correct these mistakes. Even if you have made a mistake you can reflect on it; it is because you can reflect on and repent your actions that you are able to undo mistakes.

Once something has been done and has become a fact in this world, or has become a physical reality, it may be impossible to undo. However, what concerns the mind, or what happens in the mind can be undone because the inner world encompasses past, present and future. If it were impossible to undo mistakes, there would be no point in practicing self-reflection.

This is the reason you have been given self-reflection. Through self-reflection you can undo past deeds. If you reflect on your past with a pure heart, you will be able to wipe out all the records that have been written as losses, in the same way as you erase with an ink eraser what you have written. This is a great power with which you have been endowed. So if you have committed many wrong deeds and think, I am hopeless, there is no saving me, you should make a new start this very moment. You can start with the spiritual refinement of self-reflection, and alter yourself. When you have achieved a certain level through doing this, you will find that your past sins have been entirely erased.
