Forgiveness

The act of self-forgiveness changes the energy and physical structures of your cells, and of your DNA. Guilt is a very powerful and deadening emotion. Guilt in itself can, as it were, close down the energy systems of your body, and thereby lessen, and in extreme cases, cut off the flow of Divine Energy and Love to the body entirely. Because each and every one of your cells has consciousness, they too can carry the essence and energy of guilt within them that makes their energy denser. With this denser energy that flows throughout the body and in the nuclei of the cells themselves, the illnesses that you have worked upon in your striving towards spiritual growth and enlightenment, leave a residue. Although to you, they have been cured. This residue that is held in the body through lack of self-forgiveness, acts like a blueprint for the creation of the same or similar illnesses. It is, however, possible that this blueprint of denser energy can migrate from one part of the body to another.

This is how it works. You follow a spiritual discipline and you choose to work consciously upon one area of growth or another, or even on a particular illness, or on forgiving a particular person. You do the energy work, and what you see as the forgiveness work, but in doing so, you concentrate more on releasing the other and forgiving the other without really working on the real issue of forgiving yourself. Many of you are doing this half heartedly because the part of you that is now spiritually aware, condemns the other parts for having been so wrong and for having wasted so much time. I cannot express the importance of self- forgiveness enough, for self forgiveness and self acceptance are the keys to surviving the upheavels of a turbulent world. Forgiveness of the self and acceptance of the self have a direct positive influence upon the functioning of the immune system.

Many assume that the act of self-forgiveness to improve your health causes a conflict of motives. They assume that they will only forgive for the reason of improving their own health. However, I say to you, that the act of forgiveness itself, and I speak especially of self-forgiveness, will bring you more in contact with the light of your soul, where there is no conflict of motives. The very fabric of the Universe is love and light, and in order that love and light may flow to the places where love and light cannot, the flow must be opened to even more flow. Forgiveness is one of the universal qualities of grace that helps to unblock and allow love and light to flow. The act of self forgiveness and the process that you go through on physical, emotional and mental levels will teach you much about the workings of the human psyche. Therefore, it will enable and empower you to embrace others with compassion and true forgiveness. True forgiveness can only come from a guiltless heart, from a soul that has truly forgiven itself and is in the full light of self acceptance. So what is forgiveness? How can we learn to forgive and what is the process behind forgiveness? Many of you are afraid to begin the process of forgiveness because your motives seem unclear, and then you feel that you are not really forgiving. Forgiveness is choosing to change a thought, belief and an emotion with respect to other people and situations. As everything in the Universe is energy, forgiveness is also a process of transforming energy. Forgiveness is a choice as is not forgiving. When there is someone in your life that you think you cannot forgive, then the energy of that person and situation remains within your aura. This means quite simply, that forgiveness is like any other process of self-healing. For forgiveness in itself is a process of untangling those parts of the mental and the emotional bodies that are tangled up in the denser energies that the situation with the other person carries. In addition to this, there are lines of energy that exists between you and every other person you have ever had an exchange with, no matter how trivial these exchanges may have seemed. In essence, your aura carries with it energetic memory and this is what triggers intuition, deja vu and sometimes warning bells.

So when you find it impossible to forgive another, you remain energetically connected to that person. Therefore, you are allowing the pain, the abuse and the trauma to remain with you. This, my dears, is a choice. Forgiveness is not something that you can or cannot do. It is simply a matter of choosing to change your thoughts, beliefs and ideas about a given situation or person in your life.

Forgiveness is the most important aspect of your spiritual growth, and it is the forgiveness of the self that hands you the key to the light of your soul. When you go to see a healer, or doctor you are in essence taking part in the practice of self- forgiveness. This is so, because the active healing releases energies that had been solidified within your aura and the healing takes place based upon either a conscious or subconscious decision to forgive yourself or another.

All is energy in the Universe, so free yourself from the question of motivation when it comes to forgiveness. Many of you who have been on a path of spiritual growth for some time, see the benefits of bringing more light into your aura and don't question your motives for working consciously on your aura as energy. So why question working on yet another aspect of the Universe that is also energy? It is your intention to live in more light that counts. The Guides and Spiritual Masters do not look at all the misconceptions of the personality, we experience the intent of the soul.

In essence beloved ones, by not forgiving another, or by not allowing their energy to leave you, you are allowing the pain and the abuse to continue. It is as simple as that. So the only decision that you have to make regarding forgiveness is this: Am I willing to let go of the pain and abuse, or will I allow this person or situation to persecute me for the rest of this life?

Additionally, the act of forgiveness also allows the other person to move on, be they still in your environment, in another city or town, or even in another dimension. When you change the energy pattern that this person or event has stimulated you to create in your aura, then you also let go of this person on an energetic level. Until the moment you are able to forgive and release a person from guilt, or from the responsibility for your pain, this person remains energetically aligned with you at one or more levels. Forgiveness creates harmony in the Universe because you are handing the other person a passport to more freedom and joy. In doing so you are buying for yourself a first class ticket on a journey to paradise.

In essence, if you have been raped, physically or sexually abused, or verbally denigrated by a parent, teacher or other authority figure, you are still living as the raped, the abused and the denigrated by not forgiving and letting go of these people and situations. You can choose to live your life with an other identity if you so wish. This is a choice.

Many of you believe that you have to in some way greet the person or meet them on a physical level in order to truly forgive them. This is not so. Their higher self also allows them to be in the situation where they become the abuser for the purpose of their own spiritual growth. Although it may be difficult for you to accept, your abuser truly does have a Higher Self and a Soul that loves you. This Higher Self is aware of your non-forgiveness and of your forgiveness. It will assist the personality to grow as a response to the energetic changes you will make in the process of forgiveness. So, although you may never see someone again, they will know on a deeper level that you have released them to grow and to move on. It is also true of those people in your life who you are yet to truly forgive, and who are no longer focussed within physical reality. These souls who have passed on to other worlds and dimensions can often become more sensitive on a conscious level of your lack of forgiveness towards them. One of the greatest gifts that you can give someone who abused you whilst physically present on Earth, is to release them with joy and with forgiveness. This allows them to move further in their growth.

Realise, beloved ones, that the world is a stage and that YOU chose all the actors, and the scenes, also of your childhood before you arrived. You, together with the Souls of your abusers and tormentors wrote the script together. It is up to you whether you allow the soap opera to be repeated time and time and time again.

Exercise

Take a deep breath into the lower belly and breath out again as if you are letting go of all your daily cares and worries. Do this several times. Begin also to breath into the upper chest and imagine for yourself that the back of your neck is opening, creating a tunnel through which energies can flow up through your body into the cosmos and from the cosmos down through your spine into your legs and feet. This visualisation will assist you in flowing with the energies of divine and creative essence.

Next visualise a light in the centre of your chest, your Heart Centre. See this light becoming brighter and brighter as you continue to breath into the upper chest. Start opening your heart even further and allow more and more light to flow in and out of this centre of divine love. Imagine the most beautiful light that you possibly can visualise, be it white, gold or any other combination of colours that you feel express the love within your heart. Continue with this visualisation until you feel that you are centred within yourself and are at peace with yourself and the world.

Now imagine that you are standing or sitting in the middle of a triangle that is composed of rods of golden light. See how bright, shimmering, and radiant that these rods of golden light are. Notice that these rods are of a higher vibration than you normally experience, and feel the energy that they are transmitting to you as you sit or stand in the middle of this triangle.

Now visualise for yourself that rods of golden energy are coming out of your heart, and are attaching themselves to each of the points of the triangle. You are now one with the triangle. Place at one of the points of the triangle the image of someone that you love very dearly, and send them your wishes of love and peace, and feel how this love reverberates around the triangle, and feel how every particle of light within the triangle and yourself begins to resonate with this love. In another point of the triangle place the image of someone or something that you hold very dear to yourself. This can be a favourite pet, your guide, the image of an angel, or your favourite landscape. Use your imagination. And allow the same resonance of love to emanate from your heart towards this corner, and feel how the intensity of the entire triangle is stepped up in vibration.

Finally, place the image of someone that you have not yet forgiven into the remaining corner of the triangle and feel how the resonance of love flows automatically towards this person from around the triangle and from your heart. Concentrate once more on the first two corners of the triangle and allow the resonance of love to flow automatically around the triangle, and become this triangle of love.

You may do this exercise as often as you feel is appropriate. The purpose of this exercise is to raise the vibration of any energy you are holding in your aura from other people and situations in your life that you are yet to let go of. This exercise is the beginning of discovering Mastership, for true Masters transform all energies into light. Welcome on the path of the Masters.

Forgiving The Self

Forgiveness of self is the most fundamental aspect of spiritual growth. It cannot be overlooked whilst on the path of ascension out of the denser energies of fear and guilt that have enveloped this planet for many millennia. Humanity carries deep within its cells the vibration and frequency of guilt and shame that is acting as a wall of doubt between the personality self and the soul self.

This shame originated at the point at which humanity began to question its own validity and place within the Universe. It originated at the point in which the intuitive mind asked itself ´Who Am I´ as illustrated in the Genesis parable. The shame that you have all felt over millennia has now reached a point of transformation. It is coming free from the cellular structure and the aura of humanity. This shame originated from the time that an amnesia set in, so that the experiment of exercising free will to create love as co-creating gods could begin

I have said that there are only two true emotions present within your world, they are love and fear. Love is the only true emotion, and it forms the building block with which Light and all matter is created. Fear came into existence when you began to experience separation from the Light and therefore felt the illusory separation from the source of Love. As this fear gradually built up over the millennia, and from incarnation to incarnation, humanity began to back itself into a corner of fear from where many lashed out in violent acts, as if to defend themselves from imagined enemies. The true fear has always been: God doesn't love me, I am alone, abandoned, and I am not worthy.

With these two fears firmly in place, mankind began inventing external gods to which he had to measure up to, please, or get the approval of, in order to be counted worthy. This has lead to wars, violence, a belief in limitation and scarcity, poverty and hopelessness on the planet. As a result of these beliefs, humanity has also set about defending itself from the imaginary enemies that lie within these beliefs. This in turn has lead to acts of great cruelty, torture and torment that have been wrought against all life forms, against fellow humans and against Earth herself. The illusion of separation from the Godhead has created an atmosphere of fear that is indeed visible to us from the Higher Realms, and has caused humanity to being lost within a mist, or a veil, of illusion for a very long period of time.

Now is the time to begin removing these layers of denser energies that are self generating the fear. You can do this by moving into a space of self forgiveness. Many of you are carrying layers of shame and fear within your aura and cells and much of this shame is not even rationally explicable, even to yourselves, because it has lain energetically within you with no apparent cause.

The first step in forgiving the self is being willing to let go of shame. It is being willing to move beyond limitation and fear, and accepting that, just maybe, God does love and approve of you as a child of the light. It means being willing to accept your divinity, and being willing to exercise compassion towards yourself. Once you have stated your willingness to do these things, and have set your intention to release all pain, guilt and shame from your being, and then your soul, supported by the higher forces of light in the Universe, can go to work assisting you to release all your pain to the light. However, it is not until you state your intention and your willingness to release yourself, that the Universe can do anything to help you. This is a Universe of free will and if it is your choice to remain in fear, then there is nothing that can be done to alleviate that. The Universe always empowers those that express deliberate intent.

From the perspective of the Higher Realms of Light, there is not one thing that you could have done in this life, or in another, that would hold the heavenly hosts and your soul back in giving you their love and light, or that would cause them to judge or condemn you in any way. You are the only one that is capable of judging yourself, or of punishing yourself. Un-conditional love begins with the self, as does forgiveness.

We cannot emphasise enough, how important it will be over the coming years, to release all guilt and shame from your body, because the Earth changes that are taking place activate and intensify any energies that are present. Therefore, if you concentrate on beauty, peace, abundance and health, then these things will increase. Likewise, if you concentrate on fear, poverty, danger, and disease, then these things will increase. The very nature of matter, and the energies present, upon this planet are changing. With these changes, the power of your thoughts is also increasing. The energies present are becoming more fluid and supple,reacting more swiftly to your thoughts and desires, therefore, your thoughts and feelings are able to have a greater effect than previously possible. You can choose to use this power for the greater good of all by focussing on the goodness in your life.

Exercise

For the process of self forgiveness, a daily practice of meditation is recommended, where you can become quiet and will not be disturbed for at least twenty minutes. Make this time special for yourself, play your favourite soft and relaxing music, maybe light some candles or burn some incense. Do whatever it is that helps you to feel peaceful and centred. As you begin this meditation, state your intention that you are willing to release all pain, guilt and shame from your body and energy systems and that you call upon the Forces of Light in the Universe to assist you in this release work. Close you eyes, quiet your breathing, and imagine a bright white and golden light entering your body through the crown of your head. Gradually bring this light with your breath to every part and cell of your body and visualise that any dense, grey energies are released and cleansed by the light.

Finally thank yourself and the light for the transformation that has taken place.
