Forgiveness
What is Forgiveness?
Forgiveness means to let go; to know longer hold onto a grudge or thought that somehow you have been wronged. You free yourself when you do this. It doesn't mean you forget what happened but in time that lessens as well. You realize the person lacked awareness and knowledge to make a better choice. You do this for you, not the other person. If you harbor negative emotions you will eventually suffer. It will show up in your health, relationships, and finances. You forgive so you can move on with your life. Once you let go of the bitterness, you will feel free, light, joyful, and at peace.
How To Do ThisThe easiest way to reach this place is to come from a place of non ego or non attachment. Once you do this it is much easier to reach a place of compassion and understanding.
When you come from your ego you are caught up in defending your point of view and who is right. This will not get you anywhere. When you can rise from above your ego, you can acknowledge that everyone is human, we all make mistakes, and that everyone is doing the best they know how. You take responsibility for your own actions as well. You also realize that everything that has happened to you has happened to you for your highest good. You learned a great deal from your experience and that is what has made you into who you are today. You also learn that you can never be damaged by another. You did not suffer, or miss out on anything. Your life is not wrecked because of what happend. The ego might see it like this. But once you come from your true self you see that it is not true; thoughts like that are just a made up illusion. In truth, you are whole and well. There is no such thing as loss in Divine Mind. What is rightfully yours can be restored in an instant.
You need to forgive yourself as well. You need to remember that at the time this experience took place, you did the best you could for you who you were at that time and with the amount of knowledge you had you did the best you knew how. And like I said, everything that happens occurs for your own growth. The experiences that you have gone through have shaped you into who you are today. Would you make those same choices today? Of course not. You know so much more now that today you would make different choices. But back then, you still hadn't learned these lessons yet. So don't be too tough on yourself. Cut yourself a lot of slack.
Personal ExperienceI write this from complete first hand experience. You always hear stories about how you need to forgive for you, not the other person. And that when you don't it is you who suffers. I can tell you this is true. I was stuck in this place for a while. It was after I read, Eckart Tolles' book, A New Earth, that things really began to click. That book helped me to see that I was stuck in egoic thinking. It helped me to let go of coming from a place of ego and transcend my perspective. Once I did this, I could see that I needed to forgive this person for my highest good. Once I did this, my life got better in all ways. It was one of the best things I did. All areas of my life begain to improve dramatically. You allow all the love, joy, and peace to reenter your life. So if there is anyone in your life you need to forgive, I urge you to do it for yourself, not them.
