Power of forgiveness

One of the quickest ways of getting out of the negative thinking and negative feeling scenario is through forgiveness. I don’t mean oh I forgive you and now everything is patched up and its all honky dory. No I mean the real deal. Try to understand the other persons point of view and imagine if you were in their shoes, and full of fear, or not having the full view of the situation. Could you have made the same decision? Can you understand why they made the decision they did? Can you understand their actions and why?

Have you petitioned the universe for the willingness, and then the ability to forgive this person? What we’re really doing when we forgive is we are being the bigger person. Often we have to become the bigger person before we can forgive, but the unwillingness to forgive causes us to keep from becoming the bigger person. Sort of a catch 22. In order to get around this glitch just work on having the willingness, and then the forgiveness will come easily.

It’s very easy to forgive a small child for a slight because they’re a small child with limited abilities and resources. How can you hold a grudge at a 2 year old for doing what a 2 year old does? Same thing in adult relationships, we often get upset with people because we think they’re adults. Often they’re just a frightened child, making the similar mistakes that we all have made. Except if you hold a grudge or resentment you become locked. However if you see the situation or relationship from a higher perspective and release it, you become a bigger person and the catastrophic situation that has kept you locked down will seem smaller and in some cases even petty as you get past it. Often once one party is able to forgive the other person becomes capable too. Forgiveness often spreads like a wild fire.

Even in the most horrific catastrophes, there are great spiritual lessons that will cause unmeasurable spiritual growth. Forgiveness is the ending of the horrific catastrophe so the wonderful can unfold.
