Forgiveness
To forgive does not mean giving in but letting go. Whether or not we believe that someone deserves our forgiveness, we deserve to forgive them because that is the only way of setting ourselves free from others. Holding onto anger is a way of trying to compensate for the powerlessness we felt whenever someone hurts us. It is important to find a way of letting go of our anger. This can be done by either talking with the offender, without attacking or blaming them for their behaviour, merely describing the effect it had on us and how we felt at the time. Listening to their point of view helps us to perceive things from another perspective and see it in a different light. More helpful still is a better understanding of the wise higher purpose that every human being’s existence fulfils. These things make more tolerant and show the way to true and lasting forgiveness that flows from our heart and not only from our head.
If, for any reason, it’s impossible to communicate with the person who have hurt and wounded us, writing down what happened the way it was experienced can also be a good way of releasing ourselves from them. Talking the matter over with a friend or a counsellor could be another method of letting go. I believe that forgiving does not have to mean forgetting. It is not easy to forget the pain we felt, but even partial forgiveness is beneficial, as unnecessarily re-living past painful incidents time and again increases our susceptibility to illness. That’s why forgiving is not only good for our body but also for the spirit/soul that dwells within in. Should that be more than we can handle on our own, at all times God and the Angels are waiting to show us intuitively how to go about it. They know better than anyone else that erring is human and forgiving Divine and that forgiveness brings inner peace. Meditations, quiet reflections and prayers are the best ways of finding both. Never forget that their help cannot come to anyone unasked.
Let’s forgive anyone who does not yet know that we are personally responsible for everything that ever enters our life because it was created by none other than ourselves, either earlier in this lifetime or a previous one. The Divine justice is perfect and that’s because it s based on the Universal law of cause and effect or Karma. If you are now asking yourself: ‘What about freewill?’ The only freewill any one of us ever has had and will have is the right to decide how to react to whatever appears in our life.
This is because every human being on the earthly plane can be likened to a dog who is walking on a lead. We are the dog, our Karma is the lead and the lead’s end is firmly held by a group of Angels known as the Angels of Karma. Their task is to ensure that every last bit of Karmic debts has been made good and redeemed, by every one of us. Without this we shall never be released into the greater freedom of exploring and intimately getting to know ever higher levels of the spiritual realm.
Do not run away with the illusion that our human existence consists of the fragment of merely one lifetime. Even for so far spiritually young and inexperienced spirit/souls, who are presently moving around in our world in physical bodies, it’s unlikely to be their first time of taking part in the earthly school of life’s lessons. As far as spiritually old and experienced spirit/souls are concerned, this lifetime could be one of many hundreds, maybe thousands of them they already have spent on this plane. God and His/Her helpers, the Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle alone know. They are smiling and not telling us.
