Forgiveness. Ah, that elusive feeling. That difficult acceptance. That insurmountable objection.
Oh what a vividly irrational imagination we have when it is easier to nurse resentments into explosions of violence -- instead of ending strife with a simple act of forgiveness.
Resentments are easy to understand. Resentments are easy to justify. Resentments are easy to cultivate. Resentments are easy to harvest. Resentments are easy.
Forgiveness is difficult to realize. Forgiveness is difficult to communicate. Forgiveness is difficult to act upon. Forgiveness is difficult to accept. Forgiveness is difficult.
Resentments halt the flow of communication. Resentments sever the bonds of trust. Resentments kill the flower of friendship. Resentments destroy the miracle of love.
Forgiveness leads to greater understanding. Forgiveness leads to higher stages of belief. Forgiveness leads to increased levels of intimacy. Forgiveness leads to the transcendancy of union.
Resentment is deadly. Forgiveness is divine. Resentment stunts our spiritual growth. Forgiveness accelerates our spiritual growth. Resentment blocks magickal awareness. Forgiveness heightens magickal awareness. Resentment is agitatation. Forgiveness is serene. Resentment corrupts. Forgiveness empowers.
Why do we continue to wallow in the pits of vileness created by resentments when we could glorify in the brightness of enlightenment created by forgiveness? Is being "right" in every situation more important than experiencing enlightenment? Is being "right" in any situation more important than attaining spiritual wholeness? It is sometimes proper to be "right" and be the only one who accepts it. True power comes from within, not from the subjugation of others for any reason.
Or maybe it is as Karen Davis expressed so simply...
How can I forgive others for their mistakes when I cannot forgive myself?
