Wise Words about Forgiveness

To forgive a person who has made mistakes is not often easy.  It is how much we perceive the hurt that has been imposed on us, which depicts the way we can resolve matters in our own heart, mind and finally in our lives.

Forgiveness can be obtained only when we, as a person, have healed enough to be able to finally walk away from that pain and grief.

Not everybody can do it, as the torment sometimes can remain for a lifetime and that individual’s pain is constant, raw and daily there.

Even with help on a professional basis, it is not always easy to bear.  The longer we entrench ourselves in that pain, the longer it will last.

To be able to move away from that person, who inflicted that pain, is the only solution to full recovery and peace of mind.  Healing and peace cannot be achieved in an instant.

Depending on the severity of the injury and abuse, so the sensations can last many years – the trauma deep in the subconscious mind.

But gradually, over a period of time with much love and understanding, the individual can experience a time of peace and tranquillity, where life is restored and a feeling that one can at last learn to build a new life away from the abuser.

Life then begins to change for that individual and help is given in so many ways.  They become stronger, more resilient and can begin to feel part of a community again.

Then, as the individual evolves through patience and work on their recovery, so then over time forgiveness can occur.

We have to look also at what drove that individual to hurt us, for they would not only have hurt us, but many before us. 

We have to recognise that we are not the only victims and that many have suffered in varying degrees by the abuser.

We must stand tall and begin to learn self-respect and self-love and that will help us in becoming strong once again, thus leaving us able to carry on with life and not to become the victim again.

The choice has to be ours.  Forgiveness to that individual and also to grant forgiveness to ourselves for allowing it to happen in the first place, is to recognise in us a strength not thought possible before.

See How We Grow

“As the world keeps changing so we as people, to keep up with the times, must learn to act and change with it.

“It is not frightening, simply an evolution of thought and practice.  Nobody is expected to get everything right in a day.

“Change comes in different ways, sometimes drastic, sometimes slowly, but always purposeful.

“Without change there can be no growth.  Like the ever changing seasons, which bring in fresh movements, new beginnings and birth, then a gradual evolving until all can be reaped as a reward, climaxing to what is needed and expected of us.

“Then the gradual slow down and eventual rest period that must come to us all, so although we are all having to change on a daily basis, the speed of that change is always variable depending on what is needed in our day to day lives.

“No one will remain static and we must learn to alter our minds to the various challenges, which we all face on a daily basis. 

“By being challenged we are able to stretch ourselves mentally and grow.  We see this happening especially with children.

“When mentally stimulated and challenged, they accomplish great feats of movement and success in their tiny lives.  We all marvel at a baby’s first steps, their first words.

“All this pulsating enthusiasm to move on and accomplish is set in the mind-set of us all.  We naturally must go forwards.  We must go with the tide of change and advancement.

“All of us are guided on our own individual paths of expertise to find out what we are inherently good at.

“All are good at something whether it is singing, expressing oneself, crafting something out of nothing, being a good listener, having compassion for others, being sporty or academic.

“No one is not good at anything – all have a certain ability to thrive and to excel.  It is our job, as an individual, to find out our strengths and our weaknesses and to fashion our strengths into something positive and worthwhile.

“The changes within our world will see our strengths challenged and further strengthened, for without that we cannot aspire to greater achievements.

“We all owe it to ourselves to try and go that extra mile.  It will prove dividends in the long term.”

This World can Become a Better Place for All of Us to Live in

“The corrupt and greedy people always appear to win and get away with things or so it seems.

“Now, as world opinion is changing in so many ways, the imbalance is now starting to tilt the other way.

“It is gathering momentum, so the hardliners, the ruthless aggressive people of this world, are now very frightened indeed.  They are starting to see a collective mood change.

“People the entire world over are no longer putting up with the aggressive bullyboys of this world.  Justice in so many ways is coming to the surface.  Killers, who thought they got away with murder, are now being found out and prosecuted.

“Institutions, who sold bad banking advice, are now having to pay compensation to so many people.

“Everywhere, where there is gross negligence or wilful cheating of the people, they are now finding that the law is dealing with them.  They are being brought to justice one by one.

“Yes, it has taken many years to put right those things, which should never have happened, but until we, as people, start to see that we have a voice and we can put an end to corruption and greed.

“It took the action of one vegetable seller in Tunisia to start up the Arab Spring.

“It took the sacrifice of Milly Dowler to bring down a newspaper and the further intensive investigation of a negligent police force and a global newspaper group to be under investigation.

“What has always gone on and enjoyed as a practice, nobody will notice or concern themselves with, are now being exposed one by one.

“Nothing, and I repeat nothing, can stay hidden for long.  By Spiritual Law the truth always comes out.

“Those malevolent people and Governments will all have their day.  No matter how long it takes, justice will always find them.  They will be pulled down and exposed universally for who they are.  There is no stone that cannot be turned.

“So ‘I’ ask you to be diligent in your lives.  Stop sleepwalking through life and where there is injustice – speak out.  Eventually you will be heard.

“Many people have gathered together to save projects, which they think are worthy of saving.  They have also spoken out to bring justice to those who fall foul of the people and who bring long-term misery to so many.

“It is your voice, that single voice, which can always gather momentum to such a degree that it is finally heard and the right action is then preceded upon.

“Many Government officials, who have brought about atrocities in this world of ours, will also be subject to the Law, if not on this Earth, then to a Higher Power, which will enforce those proceedings.  None can and will escape.

“That judgement is of a Higher Calling and the sentence is long indeed.  Nothing will escape these people.  They will see their own crimes and fully acknowledge them – their comeuppance grave indeed.

“So from the little man in the street to the higher Government official, none are safe anymore in oblivion.  Their identities are being sought out.  Their crimes they will be answerable to and that is a fact.

“The world is changing fast and we must all be a part of that change.  None can afford to be left behind.  We are all being called to speak out and be heard – then justice can be seen by all.

“This world can then become a better place for all of us to live in!”
