FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is essential to happiness. In fact, it is essential to spiritual growth. It is a simple concept, yet some of us get tangled up. The wish, that those who have hurt us, will see the error of their ways is a seductive concept. Hanging on to a grudge sounds like a way to make this happen. However, we soon learn that it only makes us miserable. It isn't long before we realize forgiveness is for us. It clears our minds. It renews us and releases us from the others energy.

We cannot be in the present moment if we hold a grudge against another human being. Lack of forgiveness keeps us in the past and fearing the future.

I know that most of you folks, who read this blog, are familiar to the importance of forgiveness. I think it is important to revisit the issue now for two reasons. First, we are in a time right now where there is an onslaught of negative energy caused by the demise of the cabal, that has ruled the Earth, for several thousand years. This negative energy is being shined away by the increasing light, but it is, also, disturbing to interpersonal relationships. Part of the energy release is an attempt by the cabal to maintain the status quo. The light is threatening to them and those who are dedicated to increasing the light may feel like they are under attack. This may take the form of someone close to you saying something hurtful; especially something that picks at an old scab. The temptation will to be to freak out at this horrible injustice, and we often do. Forgiveness, at the ready, becomes a survival mechanism.

After one of these episodes, where we do freak out, we find it easier to forgive, the other, than ourselves. We need to forgive ourselves over and over. We have a big job to do. We need to reflect unconditional love on the world. Our lack of forgiveness makes us miserable and hampers our ability to project our love. It is very helpful to reinforce how much we are loved by Source. Sinking down into that quiet place inside and allowing ourselves to be embraced by a Loving Universe helps immensely. Keep in mind that while we are in these bodies we will not be perfect. We will freak out occasionally. We will find ourselves being perfect asses [yes, we can be perfect in that area]. Keep forgiveness at the ready. We are always going forward, even when it appears we are backtracking. Have faith, we are making progress.

The second reason, I am raising the idea of forgiveness, is that so much horror is coming to the surface, right now. We will soon see how exploitative our world has been. The people at the very top have been only interested in their own aggrandizement, at the expense of everybody else. They do not care how many die or suffer as long as they get what they want. We may be tempted to indulge in righteous anger. Giving into that temptation will only prolong the transition to the New World. As we see the bigger picture, and see how bereft these people are, who try to find happiness in power and money, we won't have difficulty being compassionate. These are miserable people, who deny their need for love, they are empty. The only satisfaction life gave them was dominating others. The increasing Light is a torture to them. The tide has turned, they can not survive in their present state. They, too, will turn to the light.

Eventually, forgiveness will not be an issue, as secure in ourselves, we will see an attack from another, as a call for love. Attack from another, can only come from a sense of lack in that person. The lack may take many shapes and forms, but at the base, that person is not liking themselves at the moment. Forgiveness becomes automatic as we recognize this better.

Forgiveness keeps the channels of love open. Look for love in the world. As we perceive love, it will grow.
