For a number of reasons,
the act of forgiveness is a vitally important lesson out
of the “spiritual unfoldment playbook.” Yet it
seems to be one of the toughest lessons for us to learn.
You don't need to be a Christian life coach to
know these lessons, but it is my work to remind you of
them.
Forgiveness is an act of
love that is rooted in wisdom. Many people are
unable to forgive because they don’t want to give
something to somebody who in their minds is undeserving
of that gift of forgiveness. However a wise soul
recognizes that the act of forgiveness is really an act
of love towards oneself. When we forgive, we
release negative energy that existed within ourselves.
Though that negativity was directed towards another
person, the energy is always strongest in the “host” –
that is, within the person who
needed to do the forgiving.
My teacher, Kriyananda,
likens holding onto anger as akin to holding onto a hot
coal that hurts you more than the other person.
The act of forgiveness releases negative energy that
binds ourselves to the person whom we forgave. In
effect, it demagnetizes us from that person. As a
result, we are both free to move forward.
Hopefully, it frees us from repeating the karmic pattern
with this person in another lifetime.
On a deeper, mystical level, the person who needs
forgiveness manifested due to the force field that
existed within oneself. When we realize this, we
look at the experience and use it to our advantage by
learning and growing from it. It is important to
thank that person (mentally is sufficient) for coming
into your life because this person showed you what was
out of balance within you. In this regard, the
person acted as a mirror. Now that you see what is
out of balance, you can do what is necessary to restore
balance. This is truly a great gift.
And on another level, we recognize that by forgiving
another person, we are forgiving our true Self, for we
are all one.
The ability to forgive is directly related to your
ability to be content. How can you truly be
content and joyful if you are holding onto resentment or
anger due to your inability to forgive? These
negative feelings magnetize us to the lower planes of
consciousness and undermine our spiritual practices.
So an inability to forgive inhibits spiritual growth.
Thus, forgiveness is an essential quality in any
individual who is sincerely trying to evolve
spiritually.
