Blame

To blame is to find fault with, to censure; to rebuke, to reprove; to bring into disrepute or discredit; to reproach, to fix the responsibility on, to make answerable. Its close synonym is criticism, and its opposite is to praise.
  To blame is "the action of censuring; expression of disapprobation; imputation of demerit on account of a fault or blemish; reproof, censure."


“Blame no one or anything anytime.
It does not matter whose fault it is, lift!”–Edna Lister


  Blame holds another responsible, finds fault, censures, and places responsibility on another’s back. When you blame, it shows a soul taint in you. Blame is the most common form of unrighteous judgment, of being judgmental. Blame is an initiation, whether you are doling it out or receiving it.

You must help him to pay any debt you feel he owes, because you have blamed him.–Edna Lister, The Chalice, July 6, 1941

And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

You are innately able to understand agitators perfectly, for they have been laggards in the past and the great Power being released today is forcing them into divine activity against their selfish personal will and desires. Naturally they blame God, the source of the Light, and His Elect for prodding them. The Light itself is the great rebuke for selfishness, greed and blindness among those who refuse to see their own responsibilities to life or God.
  In no way may you blame them for their blindness, because God’s Light must shine through you into dark places to lift these erring children Home. The vibration of healing goes through them into the world, attracting those of like nature, then lifts and heals. Let them spew the ugliness, since it must be lifted to free and release their frozen life sparks. Take nothing they say personally.

You are learning how to become law. One who has become law would not sit in unjust judgment of another under any condition. Condemnation, criticism and blame accompany sitting in judgment.

If you still need healing, you need to surrender more self. The slightest hint of a taint of blame blocks healing. Under God’s laws, no one is responsible for your inner healing but you. Sometimes you lift force or lift another to the point where you might suffer yourself, but this is not lasting. Do not think that lifting force for another can hurt your body. You lift only a psychosomatic desire body pain.
  Blame, which is the most subtle taint, blocks the release of platelets, which become frozen. Blame sidesteps your responsibility to the Source, and is illegal.
  Love cannot blame, for it doesn’t know how.–Edna Lister, February 27, 1963


Your every life spark, every atom is named and numbered before you come to earth. You use only your own soul substance when you blame and curse, and stamp your name on the one whom you curse. To counteract this, declare, Everything in my life is good now!—Edna Lister, May 17, 1963

When you forget law, you rip the rungs from your ladder of ascension, and have nothing to stand on between you and the bottom. It is yours to lift, with no blame. You may not blame another.

For this is the only method to lift you above the law of action and reaction, echo and reecho.–Edna Lister, November 22, 1963


Ascend to the Mercy Seat instantly, at the first indication of a downward pull, at the first thought to blame another.–Edna Lister, December 6, 1963

  Blame and resentment are the reasons for excusing the self.–Edna Lister, June 28, 1964


Unless I assume the general blame where my feet tread and my eyes glance, but most especially where I live, I take the blame for everything around me. Do I lift, as my gift to God, everything my name can be connected with, in any way, as a participant or as a bystander? Yes. This is the only way I, as an initiate, can be certain my own subconscious appetitive soul cannot get away with anything, and the only way I can control it into obedience.–Edna Lister, July 28, 1964


Only those at the top can take blame for all and lift all. If someone blames you and you repudiate, the Light does not have the chance to lift the taints. The Father cannot let go of earth for an instant. Take all blame for all around you. Repudiation does nothing.–Edna Lister, August 6, 1964


One root of blame is having an unfounded high opinion of your self.–Edna Lister, The Good Shepherd, November 1, 1964


An ugly manifestation of pride is never taking the blame if you can put it on another.–Edna Lister, January 23, 1965

When you speak with ungirded loins, your words may carry taints of blame and resentment.–Edna Lister, May 27, 1965

What will you use to pay the debt of blame you charge? It involves everyone around you. Once you pray, declare it good and Councils allow you to ask and to have, declare it good, lest you charge an inadvertent debt of blame. Therefore, if you have questioned yourself as to being right or wrong, declare it changed into good to cover all misuse of law.–Edna Lister, December 13, 1965


One secret of ascension is to assume responsibility and blame for everything that your name touches. Do not shed the responsibility, but carry the lines along with you. The law for the slightest blame or repudiation is, If I am to keep my vows to lift blame from earth for everything around me, no matter how outrageous an accusation, then I say, Let there be Light! This is mine to lift or God wouldn’t give it to me. It takes longer to heal brain cells atrophied by self-pity and blaming others than for any other reason. Nothing is deadlier. God never blames. Each event is a step upward. You always enliven a few more brain cells with which to accept.–Edna Lister, January 27, 1966


Weakness does not hold you back in your climb, but taking time for self-blame does.–Edna Lister, March 4, 1966

New Testament on Blame

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.—Matthew 5:11-12

I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.—Matthew 16:19

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone.—John 8:7

Thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.—Romans 2:1

You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven.—Colossians 1:21-23

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.—James 1:2-4

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.—James 1:12

The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hastening unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.—2 Peter 3:10-14
