Forgiveness and Forgiving.
Find your own reasons
Running through
all of Duncan McColl’s Pilgrim Recordings is the theme of
being able to forgive , to live and let live. It is a
necessary step to take in order to heal body mind and
emotionally.
To be able to let go of all ill feelings that restrict your
life is a necessary step to take both at a conscious mind
level and even more importunely at within your subconscious
control mind’s. I do mean minds for their are different
parts that need to let go of this old habit that is usually
formed at the less mature stages of your early life.
Most of the religions teach that the act of forgiveness is
a vital part of a spiritual life and this theme runs
through Christianity, Hinduism who request atonement for
ones wrongdoing through to Islam that teaches that God is
the most forgiving to Buddhism who are very close to the
mark when they teach that this practice is helpful to
prevent harmful thoughts from causing havoc in your life.
To Huna which has it spot on. This act of ceasing to feel
anger, resentment and indignation at the real or imaginary
acts of offense to you or someone else removes much
negative self harm. Being able to do this with your self
brings such freedom of thought that for this reason alone
it is well worth it.
What often happens is that the act is continued as a form
of self punishment in your life for some act that your
unconscious mind deems wrong so that it is often very
useful to preform some act of payment to close the deal. By
that I mean giving up smoking for a week or anything that
the younger mind agrees to as an act of compensation for
the offense.
Indulging in this act involves forgiving any one that may
have offended you in any form and also asking the same from
any one that you may have caused offense to. It is a two
way street.
One final point it takes great strength to forgive and many
emotionally immature people will not be able to do it with
ease. It allows you to remove dead yesterdays from your
mind so that you cease to relive history,
Self love and understanding brings you to the realization
that forgiveness is a selfish act done totally for your own
benefit to allow you to be free from yourself limiting past
conditioning. Maybe it’s now time.
