Last week I spoke about forgiveness and wish to continue my
dialogue as I believe it is a subject matter that catapult’s you from emotions
such as guilt, despair, hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, fear, loneliness, anger
and resentment.
The only way to obtain peace in your heart and your mind is
to practice forgiveness ALL the time. However,
one of the first areas that you need to look at as you begin this application,
is in regards to your history! Your life
as you know it, is a culmination of your
upbringing, your schooling, your family, your work, your belief systems and
your thoughts about your historical life which you use to determine who you are
now. Those thoughts are actually your
projection into the future; in that what you have not forgiven, released and
let go will follow you always, thus impeding your ability to be the CREATIVE
being that you were destined to be.
Forgiveness is freedom, it frees your mind from the self-imposed
shackles of which YOU have the key to
unlock. Do you not desire freedom to be
your true authentic self, one who
co-creates with the Universe and is the author as well as the architect of what
you experience in your life?
Whatever is in your life right now, YOU have attracted. Now
this concept at first, does not seem to be an easy pill to swallow because your
first statement could be “I did not attract this violent relationship into my
life, or I did not attract these sort of circumstances into my life. No, no,
no,” you cry, “I reject that!” Trust me
on this for now, as I will reveal the deeper meanings to this statement in my
future writings, however in your subconscious mind; the part of the mind that
upholds a belief system that your conscious mind may not even be aware of,
holds your true thoughts about everything in your life and it is at the root of
the problem one must go in order to illicit any change that becomes permanent.
So how do you forgive your past? Now this part takes courage, for you have to
be able to look at what has happened in your life, however painful the
experience has been and offer forgiveness to those who were involved including yourself.
The following affirmation helps you to open the block that
you have created that causes you to
experience life as other than peaceful and loving. From the book A Course in Miracles one of the lessons states:
“Forgiveness offers me everything I want”
This affirmation coupled with the ones I mentioned last week,
shifts your perception and your entire view of the world. The power of affirmations allows you to make
statements in the present tense so it can bring forth your inner guide and
silence the voice of the ego, because let’s face it, how well has your ego
served you. Look at your life, if it is
lacking in anyway then you know that your ego brought you there!
I leave you with one more quote with which to muse upon that
I read in Conversations with God series.
It is by far my most used reminder to keep me in a state of peace and
joy at least 80% of my day:-
“If I don’t go within, then I go without”
Have an internally blessed weekend.
Nameste (simply means that I bow to the divine in you) J
