Every human being must occasionally fall, even those of us who are working diligently to climb the spiritual ladder and increase our ability to channel the Creator's Light. It isn't a straight climb up this ladder, and there is no direct route to the top.
The important thing to remember is that the further we fall, the higher we can rise. It’s our personal responsibility to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and not allow guilt or a sense of victimhood to keep us down.
