memories of the Elders. And your description of dominoes makes sense. I prefer to accept the version of our guilt or innocence from David Gregson, Jay S. Efran and G. Alan Marlatt, in their book, The Tao of Sobriety. We did not choose. I know that's a popular opinion in the New Age, and especially Carolynn Myss (who I like). But it gives me no comfort. Real choices can be re-chosen. I am much better able to function when I approach life from a place of innocence. And when I accept my innocence, that leads to accepting the innocence of those who came before me, and so on. The ultimate "blame" has no beginning. Forgiveness is not required when the innocence of our births upon this plane is the starting point.

Much love on your quest.
