“Forgiveness can be very powerful, depending who is doing the forgiving and to whom.
But there’s a central point to our focus in forgiveness that entails the forgiveness of us, the forgiver, ourselves.
The truth is, until you master the forgiveness of your own self
, you cannot forgive anyone else in any meaningful way. Sometimes forgiveness is about tolerance and reconciliation but also the fact that lessons have to be learned otherwise nothing transcendental is accomplished on the spiritual journey.

Sometimes forgiveness is about tolerance and reconciliation but also the fact that lessons have to be learned otherwise nothing transcendental is accomplished on the spiritual journey.Forgiveness does not require forgetfulness for the lessons to be learned. It requires that we remember the lessons involved. It is a realization that beyond the experience … is our willingness to take full responsibility and to forgive ourselves for being entangled or involved with the illusion in the first place.
We have to forgive ourselves because to forgive others requires a true evaluation of ourselves … in relation to existence. We realize that others are simply an external reflection of ourselves. We are all one. As we forgive ourselves, we automatically include the others who are nothing but our own external extension of our very Soul.”
