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.

If You Only Knew. Inspirational. For Reflection

If you would allow yourself to be guided, if you did not have the resistance, if you would not raise so many barriers, you would see life in a different way.
To excel often implies transformation and allowing to be guided. It is possible that the granite, the iron and the clay put resistance to been sculpted, but in their process and little by little they are reborn, purified, going beyond themselves to become what they have never dreamed about.
What transforms man is not only his character or his will, but allowing to be taken by the essence and the glory of Love, who is the supreme reality. This illuminating power is the Faith and there is nothing more.

Healing a Broken Heart. Reflection. Inspirational

If a broken heart with symptoms of spiritual illness would come to us, we would notice right away because of the symptoms :
He has lost hope, does not have dreams, he is bitter, weak, desolated. He has forgotten or does not know the experience of faith, ignores the term Love, and moves away from affection, because he never received tenderness.

He is full of confusion, jealousy, resentment, bitterness, apathy and tired of life. This heart has lost order and discipline, is lacking method, energy, enthusiasm, and a feeling of solidarity.
He has moved too far away from natural love, he has self rejection. He rejects everyone and he doesn’t have peace, but looks like a ghost of horror and loneliness.

But the spiritual medicine is going to cure this heart for sure. It will not be easy and this will be done through stages, going from deep affliction, until he experiences a superior comfort which will start the healing by helping him to recuperate and start beating with the enthusiasm to be, to live, by and for Love.

This delicate care is tenderness, caress, embrace, kiss, respect, appreciation, admiration. And also recognition, filial love, personal dedication, and most important, God is in the center of this existence. And this moribund heart, will start palpitating and it will sound like bells ringing, since the only thing needed in order to know Love, is to Love.

Inner Beauty

Do I look at your eyes or do I look at the light in them ?
Is it the beating of your heart or the reason for its beating ?

Is the light of the sun and the clarity of my eyes which make of this a perfect union ?
If the caress does not come from the spirit, it will only be desire.

If the caress comes originally from the spirit, then, Love will be eternal.
I can look and look but it is you that I can see.
Time could pass. But in you, the present will be eternal.

Sparkles of Light. Inspirational.

If you could listen, if you could open your heart just for a moment. You would understand not with your mind but with your spirit, since sometimes the persons make a mistake and believe that the other persons are like rocks, walls. As if they were incomprehensible and they do not see anything any more.

If this ever happens to you, do not look at the rocks, look at the sea, the horizon.
Look at the infinite sky and you will realize that the rocks that you saw, were only what you wanted to see.

The truth is further away. The truth is this infinity that loves you and that perhaps you could not understand.

The Rose. The Universe

I am going to look for, in a rose, the universe.

And I will find, in the universe, a rose.

Contemplative Art

Science, tries to understand your mysteries but don't find the explanation. It seems, to advance one step and to go back one thousand. With the only realization, that the universe, grows and grows, without end. Because, you are Lord God, the infinity without beginning and end.

All creation fits, into your hands. There is no explanation since it goes beyond reason. Your creation, does not follow any law but your will.

You create, out of Love, that is the reason, that science is like dust, in front of you, who are the Truth, the Light, Eternity itself. i contemplate You, in your infinity, with the humble devotion, of my poor heart.
