Apologies for further derailing.
My concern is despite all that I've learned and integrated, I sometimes get caught up in a moment of frustration so deeply that I feel that I act an unloving manner for a few moments before I catch myself. Whether or not its 'conscious' is highly debatable. I understand forgiveness, but it feels highly irresponsible to continue to to act in an unloving manner then forgive myself afterwards. The Kevin Smith film Dogma comes to mind, with the church entryway which is blessed to automatically 'forgive your sins' as you enter.
It's the threshold between a consciously and unconsciously unloving act which concerns me. I have no issue forgiving myself for those little moments of weakness if they are truly unconscious.
