D
O THE WORK

  

           

  

 

Take a moment to write out all the things and people in Your life that You have been attempting to fix or change.

 

You may find it helpful to work with the prompts:

 

In the past I have tried to fix/change__________________
because ___________________

 

After each statement, write the declaration, "I forgive myself for taking on the burden and I surrender it to the universe."

 

 

   

 

Forgiveness is an ultimate act of love. It is not the act of "forgetting" an incident or upset. It is the remembering and the choice to "give away" the hurt we have attached to the experience .  

 

Forgiveness is the living of love or the application of love to our lives. It is remembering that we are capable of loving our- selves and others in a greater way.

 

The Law of Forgiveness states that certain ideas must be dissolved and cleared from the mind in order that other new ideas of a different character may replace them.  

 

Through forgiveness, we create new realities that allow us to experience greater love and freedom. Forgiveness sets the stage for a new act in our lives to begin. Holding on to judg- ments about experiences and people keeps us in limitation.  

 

When we allow ourselves the experience of forgiveness, we turn the key to open the cell of humanness and release the divinity that resides in us and in others, and allow that divinity to reign.  

 

Essentials:

 

1. Forgiveness starts in our own hearts. Only when we have forgiven ourselves can we give it to others.

 

2. Forgiveness is not condi-tional, even though our practice of it often is.

 

3. Forgiveness is an ongoing process. It continues in response to every judgment we make about ourselves.

 

4. Every gesture of forgiveness is sufficient. Whatever we are able to do now is enough. This understanding enables us to practice forgiveness with forgiveness.

ONE MIND IN YOU 
 

My God, my true Love, my comforter, there is no separation, God, because You have decreed it to be so! I acknowledge You as the ultimate unity, God. I acknowledge You as the energy of the Universe, keeping all Your mighty creations not only alive, but filled with zeal and zest! You keep us all filled with zeal and zest and so much more, O mighty Father Mother God.

God, sometimes I believe in separation between my brothers and sisters and myself. Sometimes I even declare myself separate from You. Sometimes I even wallow in that, O Lord, sure in my misery, righteous in my disdain. And always when I have had enough God, You are there ready to embrace me, allowing me to forgive myself in others. You say "return to the fold Beloved, come home; remember that You are a part of me".

 

I thank You, God, for Your sweet forgiveness, for allowing me to forgive myself when I have strayed far. Thank You, God, for reminding me to forgive my brothers and sisters because we are really all of one mind in You. I am so grateful that You do not let me live in illusion, but let me celebrate and smile in the wonder of Your promises.

Thank You God, thank You God, thank You God.

And let it be so, and so it is. Amen!

You might be asking yourself, "Why would I want to practice forgiveness?" The answer is simple. Practice develops skill. Skill leads to mastery. When you master the practice of forgiveness it becomes as natural as breathing. And when you know how to forgive, you eliminate excess mental and emotional weight that keeps you stuck in repetitive situations, circumstances, and experiences that are not healthy or productive.

The only true way to create a more loving, productive, and fulfilling life is by forgiving the past.  Releasing the past restores us to the full energy of the present moment.

Forgiveness addresses how we think and feel about others and ourselves, and how those thoughts manifest within our lives as energy.
