Forgiveness is a Complex Act

Forgiveness is a complex act, simple in context but complicated. Before I can learn forgiveness: A. I must loose anger. B. I must be willing to except. C. Learn that I am not always right. D. My judgement must be silenced. E. That I don’t enjoy the chaos I create for myself. F. That I must change no matter what, if I want to stay spiritually fit. Now these are not things that are easily conquered in the human experience, or in my own personal experience. It has taken several years to just begin to stop using those unwanted traits. Most of these are wounds that I inflicted on myself, by wanting what is not going to happen or reaching for things that bring fear. I was always running on the fuel of blame because that was the only way for me to justify my behavior to myself. Seeking enlightened values that were presented too me began the journey of realizing that the act of forgiveness was the key to start healing afflictions that I so willingly choose to perpetrate on every thing I touched. This forgiveness, started allowing me to let others in and listening to the message which help in smashing ego, fear, pride, greed, anger, gluttony, jealousy, and lies that I told myself, just a little bit at a time. I know at this moment that I have so far to go and that I fall back into that so familiar place, and that I have to find strength and courage to just stop, and take a breath, ask for help from the Power that is now flowing, and just forgive. What a miracle it was so freely given! Thanks to those who have carried that message to me and continue to carry that message that all I have to do is just forgive, listen, Pray, and give back. Cheap you think? Forgiveness

Peace Out. M
