FORGIVENESS, LOVELIGHT AND SINCERITY
Posted by Indra on December 2, 2010 at 8:31pm
IN MANY WAYS FORGIVENESS IS THE FUNCTION OF BEING A HUMAN ON EARTH.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD. THE WORD SAYS FOR-GIVE-NESS. THIS IMPLIES
THE FUNCTION IS FOR GIVING. GIVING SOMETHING TO ANOTHER. GIVING SOMEONE
ANYTHING, REQUIRES HAVING SOMETHING TO GIVE. SOMETHING THEY EITHER DO NOT HAVE,
OR THEY NEED OR WANT. THIS IS A POSITION OF RELATIVE STRENGTH. GIVING ANYTHING
FREELY, IS A POWERFUL ACT THAT WILL BENEFIT THE GIVER EVEN MORE THAN THE ONE
RECEIVING. THIS WORLD IN ITS PRESENT STATE OF GIVE ME MINE NOW, WILL CERTAINLY
ARGUE THIS POINT. GIVING IS A FOOLS GAME. FORGIVING CAN BE A FOOLISH GAME AS
WELL. "I AM SO SORRY", WILL OFTEN TIMES COME BACK TO HAUNT AND HURT RATHER THAN
HELP. WHY IS THIS SO?
NOTHING REAL CAN BE THREATENED. NOTHING UNREAL
EXISTS. THESE TWO SENTENCES SUM UP WHAT TAKES 617 PAGES TO EXPLAIN IN THE COURSE
IN MIRACLES. THE ESSENCES OF FORGIVENESS IS CONDENSED IN THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL
SENTENCES. THE REASON WHY, I AM SORRY, IS SO UNSATISFYING, IS THAT OFTEN THE
APOLOGY WILL VERIFY THE EXISTENCE OF SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST. I AM SORRY
ROLLS OFF OF MY TONGUE FREELY. SIMPLY BECAUSE I DISLIKE THE HASSLE OF AGGRESSIVE
BEHAVIOR AND HOW UGLY I CAN BE. FORGIVENESS, AS I AM SORRY, WILL DIFFUSE THE
HEAT OF THE SITUATION AND ALLOW THE AGGRESSOR SPACE TO CHILL OUT. HOPING FOR
WISDOM ON THEIR PART MAY WELL TOO MUCH TO ASK. AT LEAST YOU ARE FREE TO BE
HAPPY.
DO YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT? OR DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY. THIS IS OFTEN
THE NEXT HURDLE TO JUMP ON THE WAY TO FULL FORGIVENESS. YOU CAN SEE THE UNREAL
POSITION OF THE OTHER PERSON. NOW YOU FEEL LIKE SETTING THEM STRAIGHT. CAREFUL,
IF THEY ARE WILLING TO ATTACK ON THE THIN ICE OF UNREAL ASSUMPTION; YOUR WELL
INTENTIONED ADVICE WILL PROBABLY BRING YOU BACK TO THE AGGRESSION. THERE IS
NOTHING TO PROFIT IN TRYING TO SUBTRACT SOMETHING FROM ONE YOU WISH TO INVOLVE
IN THE PROCESS OF FORGIVENESS. YOU NEED TO ADD SOMETHING. THAT SOMETHING IS
LOVELIGHT.
LOVELIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. LOVELIGHT WILL
BRING DISCORD INTO ALIGNMENT. THOSE ATTACHED TO PAIN AND DISHARMONY WILL SEE
LOVELIGHT AS A THREAT. A THREAT TO THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR EXISTENCE. A
FOUNDATION BASED IN ATTACK. ATTACK HOPING TO REAP THE SPOILS OF WAR INFLICTED BY
THOSE WHO FEAR VIOLENCE. THOSE WHO FEAR VIOLENCE ARE OFTEN THE SAME GENTLE SOULS
WHO LIVE FOR LOVELIGHT. IN MANY WAYS THIS IS THE CLIMATE WE HOPE TO CHANGE HERE
ON EARTH. HOW DO WE FORGIVE THE HAND REACHING OUT TO TAKE FOOD FROM THE MOUTH OF
OUR CHILDREN? WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? DO WE BECOME THE SAME "RIGHTOUS"
AGGRESSOR? BACKING AWAY AT THIS POINT OF ACTUAL THREAT IS PROBABLY NOT WISE.
RISING ABOVE THE ATTACK BEFORE IT BECOMES APPARENT IS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE. HOW IS
THIS DONE?
STANDING UP FOR YOUR SELF IS ALWAYS CORRECT. DOING IT RIGHT IS
TOUGH. SEEING THE UNREALITY OF THE ATTACK IS IMPORTANT. REALIZING THE UNREAL
SUPPORT OF YOUR DEFENSE IS CRITICAL. THE ATTACK IS OBVIOUSLY UNREAL. BUT WHAT
ARE YOU DEFENDING? PERHAPS YOUR POSITION IS EVERY BIT AS UNREAL AS THE ATTACK.
THIS IS WHERE SINCERITY COMES IN. WHAT DO YOU SINCERELY BELIEVE IN ENOUGH TO
FIGHT OVER? MOST BELIEFS ARE VENEER THIN. ARE YOU SURE OF WHAT SEE IN THE CHAOS?
IS IT WORTH THE REGRET? WHAT ARE YOU SURE OF ANYWAY? WE ARE ALL IMPOSTORS IN
DEFENSE OF OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS FOR THE MOST PART. HOW CAN YOU BE SURE OF ANYTHING
IN A WORLD THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING? I FEEL THE ONLY THING I AM SURE OF
OCCURS IN ENERGY FILLED SILENCE. HOW DO YOU FIGHT ABOUT THAT? FORGIVENESS COMES
EASY FROM THIS SPACE. PROJECT LOVELIGHT TO THE MASSES WHO WOULD INTERRUPT YOUR
JOY. JOY HAS NOT MOVED, YOU HAVE. KEEP YOUR SELF FROM HARMS WAY, AND JOYFULLY
PROJECT LOVELIGHT TO ALL OF THE ATTACK OF THIS WORLD. NOBODY HAS TO KNOW ABOUT
IT. THE REWARD IS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. IT FEELS GOOD TO DO IT, AND IT COMES BACK
AROUND IN A CIRCULAR FASHION TO REWARD YOU AGAIN. DO NOT BECOME INVOLVED WITH
THE NIGHTMARES OF THIS SLEEPING WORLD. AWAKEN YOURSELF BY ALLOWING LOVELIGHT TO
WORK THROUGH YOU. THIS IS THE WORK TO AWAKEN US ALL. ADONIA
