This affirmation, “To The Infinite Universe” is for us to, first, unashamedly and openly acknowledge and confess our own deeply personal shortcomings including our selfishness, greed, arrogance, lying, pride, confusion and attachments. Second, it is to openly forgive and release ourselves from these selfish and arrogant ways that we have committed. The ultimate goal is for us to take full responsibility for all of our selfish and arrogant ways and strive to never allow them to occur and cause harm to others again. This affirmation can serve as a practice to directly apologize to any and all whom may have been harmed by us, regardless of whether they or we know it or not, and including those whom have already passed away. Repeat as often as needed.
