Forgiveness is such a big thing in our lives, and so difficult to achieve especially if the misdeed has had a great impact. Intellectually, we know we should forgive, and endeavor to do it, but often there is some small feeling left that they are bad, untrustworthy or dishonest. We avoid them. That’s not yet true forgiveness.
We keep working on it and get to see that from their point of view they were just trying to protect themselves. Then we might see how their actions have contributed to our growth, to becoming more compassionate, more understanding, moving our life forward in a direction that is so much more fulfilling. We can start being grateful, and neutral towards them. That doesn’t mean wanting to have dinner with them – after all, you don’t closely interact with every person you meet, but you can be neutral.
Perhaps we get to see that since we are expressions of Source and have everything Source has in potential, nothing can ever be taken away from us or added to us, but we have to activate that potential. Source has just one agenda for incarnating: to have a wide-open door for pouring its gifts into this material world. You and I, the most conscious expression of divinity, are that open space.
It’s up to us to keep that door open by aligning our personality with Spirit, without the twists and turns of human ideas of what life should look like, that stop the flow of all goodness into and through us.
Now we get to see that the person we so much object to has actually been instrumental in expanding our spiritual understanding to where we see that no wrong has ever been done. That they were just playing the role that we had agreed on before we were ever born, to implement our true purpose for this lifetime.
We believed they wronged us, and that was a wrong belief. Nobody could, since we, and they, are an expression of divinity. The only wrong is our belief that we are separate from divinity, separate from all life. No forgiveness is needed for any person or any circumstance; but only for your own belief, that you are separate from God, your Spirit. In Truth, you are one. All forgiveness is really self-forgiveness. When you forgive yourself, then through the principle of Oneness, everyone else is also automatically forgiven. When you are being forgiveness rather than the active doing of it – before there being anything to forgive in the physical world you have healed the core wound of separation in your consciousness.
You don’t have to know who, how or what to forgive in this world. You go way back to the first time you ever had the thought you were separate from your Source, way back to the beginning of your soul and forgive yourself for that first false belief. The principle of Oneness ensures that everyone else is also then forgiven, and you have done your part in allowing the fullness of Spirit to flow through you, unimpeded.
Whether anyone else acknowledges the forgiveness you have just activated for all is not your concern, because everyone has free will to do as they choose in the material world. Your only concern is to use your free will in alignment with the will of divinity, and divinity sees no wrong. You have just abandoned blame and judgment, forgiven the only wrong in existence, and are free.
