Forgiveness. How to.

Forgiveness is one of the deepest and most intense spiritual manifestations. And from the spiritual perspective, it has to be completely honest, integral and absolute. It requires of a great effort and after this, follows the experience of conciliation and then balance and harmony.
Why is so difficult to forgive ? Because wounds, bruises, traumas have formed and often with innumerable crisis, which may be hidden or waiting to be resolved, but definitively with a big load of frustration, bitterness and resentment. And this is like an extremely corrosive poison that hurts and affects our whole life.
The person who has not forgiven or the one who feels that cannot forgive is severely afflicted, poisoned and full of sadness, loneliness and even of desire of revenge. This is really mortal since the person who does not forgive, then, makes the conflict to grow, to magnify and in turn the person feels tortured.
Forgiveness is directly related to many circumstances which are very painful. The pain, the rage, the frustration have to be overcome, otherwise life will become a perpetual conflict. And we do not want to experience this. We do not want to be filled with more bitterness and hatred, we have to be free of all this.
For forgiveness to really happen, we must look not only for psychological help but also the center of the forgiveness has to come from God Himself. If God does not allow us to forgive, we may say it, or promise it or look for it but it will not last.
Forgiveness is liberating, renovating, regenerating and in addition it changes us from the victim’s position, to self confidence, appreciation and spirit of good.
How can we reconcile the issue that when we forgive, we forgive what we repudiate ?
Forgiveness is not the apology of evil, nor the justification of mistreatment and offense. It is the evocation, the clamor of the victim to God saying : Oh Lord take from me any poison that is in my heart, since this is like the smoke that hurts and blinds my vision.
Life must not coexist with infinite hate, on the contrary, it must return to Peace. And when there has been affliction, physical and moral harm, then forgiveness is a miracle, which means the direct intervention of the Presence of God.
We all make mistakes and the human being goes wrong in many ways but when there is misuse of power, abandonment, misery, then this does not go away in a moment and traces stay. Forgiveness has the wonderful aptitude to heal these deep wounds.
To forgive is really self transformation, it is like emerging of darkness, of death. Nothing can be compared to Forgiveness. It is the conciliation of heaven and earth, the annulment of evil, of sin, of pain, of conflict and even of death. The person who forgives, discovers in his heart that God exists since forgiveness is the understanding that allows to receive the grace, which means, the Presence of God in the whole plenitude of the inner life.
Then, nothing can confuse or upset us, because there is a revelation of life, there is understanding; and we forgive because we have been forgiven. It is not possible otherwise, only the one who receives forgiveness, then, receives the power of inner Peace and in this Peace, in this wonderful conciliation, God opens the heart and makes possible that we look beyond everything and beyond ourselves. And in this way, Forgiveness arises and shares the presence, the teaching, the revelation of life, where the glory of glories is born. Because Forgiveness specially is the way of grace and this is the grace of Peace.

Forgiveness. The Reason for a Profound Study

The subject to be discussed today is almost conflictive. But if we give the proper attention and we have an open mind, this study will be very constructive.
All started in a lecture or conference for a young and enthusiastic public but who were lacking the proper depth and reflection. The subject been presented was " forgiveness " and I remember that all kind of opinions were expressed and one of the persons of the audience, proposed " total forgiveness " in such a way, that seemed like a samurai warrior.
For this noble person, the word forgiveness meant to forgive over and over and in an absolute way, no matter what kind of offense. And besides it was necessary to forgive seventy times seven. Some other persons, were listening with fear because they were remembering similar situations. While others were of the same opinion of that person, since it had been imposed, instilled and engraved in their bones without option neither to think nor to analyze. They thought that it was a fact, even a command and to think different, simply was bad and or contradictory.
Here is the explanation : The word forgiveness, clearly indicates that every charge or reprimand is dismissed. The person is totally exonerated of guilt in such a way, that becomes totally innocent and free of any guilt. But this is a fallacy, in other words, is part lie and part true. This is a warning for the persons who read without studying or going in depth into the subject and who totally lose the context of order and the meaning of the things. Forgiveness is a right and a duty, only when there is real repentance. Not only the wish of improving, but to demonstrate change.
Forgiveness does not make that the victim overcomes his misfortune or that the unfortunate action is blessed. Forgiveness is not something to be taken lightly, or spiritually compulsive. We don't have the obligation to endure every evil and of course, forgiveness is good, noble and necessary. But the things have not been correctly understood.
If forgiveness would be given as a present, then the objective of becoming better, of reflection and repentance, would be lost. But is very certain that man is only man and God has other parameters. His forgiveness always will be divine.
Man, on the other hand, will have to make great efforts to be able to have a pure and noble heart who can overcome the offenses. But is true and here the subject is debated. The action that can lead to forgiveness, is repentance. Somebody who tries to overcome his mistakes, can't be compared with a noble man who has not made any mistakes.
We have to be very clear. The prodigal son was regretful. He humiliated himself, felt ashamed and claimed for God. And this is what forgiveness is about. If there is repentance, there is forgiveness. And here I end the explanation. Probably, there will be many doubts and worries. And differences will keep happening. Now, the student must develop his own science.
The subject here, is not only forgiveness and repentance, but the need of, not only to read, but to deepen and to study.

Forgiveness. Self Acceptance. Self Understanding

Forgiveness is self acceptance, self understanding and the realization that we are not perfect. What is most important about forgiveness is that we will always be there, one for the other. The one who forgives frees his mind and heart, since the one who resents lives tied to it. Forgiveness is a superior gift, which never comes from the mind, nor from reasoning because forgiveness is something higher.
Forgiveness as well as Faith and Love comes only from the Spirit.
To forgive is always self forgiving, this may not be understood but forgiveness brings Peace.
