More now than ever, it is becoming clear that in order for us to live our lives in peace and harmony, we need to come to the absolute understanding that separation exists only in our minds.
If we see ourselves as separate we create chaos and disorder between our self and every thing out there. What we do for ourselves we do for everyone. Live each moment without resisting. When we resist the flow of life, what we are actually resisting is our own true nature, for everything that happens to us, is a reflection of who we are. If we can accept the flow of life and give into it, we can accept what is real. Only when we accept what is real can we live in peace and harmony.
Once our state of being breaks free of its illusions through increased knowledge, it lives in complete separateness and fulfilment of knowing reality beyond a mental concept of vague images. It begins to experience the presence of something beyond itself that dwells in a place where there is no need to pursue more or be anything other than self – within the physical body. This happens when we face the oneness of our existence. When we realise there is no other joy which exists, except the joy of being an active part of the whole, where the fullness of knowing the true intent of each thought, feeling and action can be brought into consciousness. This is a place where each person experiences the freedom to live their own life as they see fit.
Believing in ourselves is the first step on the road to healing. It is this road that takes us on to heights of spiritual awareness and absolute bliss. If we are ever going to stop the compulsive cycles of reliving our pain that is hard-wired into our thinking, we need to start the healing process sooner rather than later. We need to trust ourselves. We need to trust others. We need to trust ourselves to trust others.
Once we begin to move towards trust, we start the healing process by connecting with our feelings. When we make a connection with our feelings we start to express and release our feelings. Only then are we able to begin to bring closure to unfinished events and only then can we start to move forward with more energy for living and forgiving.
Forgiveness takes us on a journey that enables us to understand compassion and unconditional love. When we forgive, we circumvent a situation that could become unbearable. Forgiveness empowers us to eliminate anger and resentment, allowing enormous amounts of positive energy to literally change our mental and physical well-being and dispose of stress, nervousness, restlessness, sadness, anger or any associated trauma.
Forgiveness and healing are aspects of the same reality. Forgiveness removes all energy blockages that prevent healing energy from flowing. Forgiveness is essential and possible under all circumstances, regardless of how much we hurt. We have the power to free ourselves and to free others of any interpersonal guilt. Commit to forgive and the surfacing of freedom and empowerment will lead towards a positive future with others.
For this to occur it is necessary for us to let go of our identity as victims or prisoners of destructive energy. All forgiveness is self-forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no future. Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past. Forgiveness is reclaiming power over our own life. If we dislike anyone, we dislike a part of ourselves. As we give the gift of forgiveness, we ourselves are healed.
