In a prophetic, melodious, and consoling tone, the Great Mother of Humanity addressed us:
“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice”1.
It is imperative, however, to comprehend that the individual must first extend mercy toward themselves. Those incapable of practicing self-forgiveness will never attain the effective, profound and authentic capacity for showing clemency to others.
Moreover, it is vital to understand that mercy constitutes love expressed not in spite of the flaws found in the beloved one, but precisely because of them. Deficiencies and limitations represent meaningful elements of one’s inner child and inner animal, that, although less developed, compose the broader structure of the personality of each individual, forming the constellation of the psyche’s totality, in divine harmony with the nobler dimensions of the being.
Mercy toward oneself – reiterated the Christ Mother –, compassion for one’s own unfortunate inclinations, so that there may be true tolerance toward the weaknesses of others.
Mercy toward oneself always, but without self-indulgence, permissiveness or excessive laxity, which imply connivance with malevolent or even criminal inclinations and indicate an evasion of discipline and of the persistent effort required in work, study, self-improvement, and the spirit of responsibility, natural hallmarks of any dignified and conscious adult.”
