An excerpt from our new book/6
We Are Human Angels, We Inspire ChangeOur new book is out!
We're sharing an excerpt from Chapter 1.5, Forgiveness
(...) There cannot be Unconditional Love without unconditional forgiveness. Forgiveness is not related to the expectation that those who have hurt us will recognize their actions and make amends. Forgiveness is an intimate act that does not imply having a physical interaction with the “offender”; the communication can simply occur at soul level. Forgiveness can either concern someone who has passed away, or someone that is no longer present in our lives. To forgive does not necessarily mean that we must restore a relationship that has been broken. Reconciliation is a free choice and not necessarily the outcome of forgiveness.
To forgive others means forgiving ourselves, because in their roles as our mirrors, they have been nothing other than a tool to our lack of self-love, a lack of self-recognition, and a lack of self-respect. Only through forgiving can we understand that there is nothing and no one to forgive. And that we too, if we have hurt someone, have been for them, nothing more than an instrument of love in the same way they have been for us; in the Oneness, there is no separation, no judgment, and everything happens in Divine perfection. Self-forgiveness allows us to give and receive love. Without self-forgiveness, there is always some fault to expiate that interrupts the free flow of love, which is giving and also receiving. We deny ourselves from receiving love, attention, respect, and, in addition, we also deny ourselves all those blessings (health, joy, abundance, …) that life is always ready to give with open hands to all those who are open to receive them.
Forgiveness that comes from the ego always brings with it separation and judgment. We set ourselves above others, thinking that we are “right”, thinking that we are “better.” Forgiveness that comes from the ego is an act of real presumption: “Even if you were wrong, I am so good and magnanimous that I forgive you.” Forgiveness in the Oneness is the overcoming of judgment: everyone is absolved in Unconditional Love. When we stop judging, we forgive by recognizing that everything has been manifested in the perfection of the Oneness. If for every action (someone hurts us, either with their words or their actions) there is an equal and opposite reaction (our suffering), forgiveness in the Oneness is the factor that by canceling out the action cancels out also the reaction. This happens not because we activate a forced mechanism of suppression. It happens because we let go of, with love, everything that has caused us to suffer. Forgiving ourselves, we also forgive all those that we have judged to be the cause of our suffering.
When we remember that we are divine beings, we stop feeling victimized by people, circumstance, or fate. We can clearly see that we have co-created everything we have experienced till now, including our pain. What has happened in the past stops conditioning our present. Stepping out of our role as victims, we regain our spiritual mastery and our inner power.
