Forgiveness is one of the most powerful tools for healing there is. It can free us from the deepest pain, both physical and emotional including symptoms of long-standing resentment and bitterness.

If it can set us free, why do we find it so hard to do so?

Perhaps we think that if we forgive someone for something they have done, that somehow we are letting them 'get away with it'.

Why should I forgive?

One moment of sincere forgiveness can clear away the debris of years of pain.

In forgiveness, you will free yourself from the burden of having been wrong.

If you actively practice forgiveness, it brings the power of the heart to work on the conditioning of your unconscious mind. It can break the self-destructive habits of the emotions of anger, grief and hatred.

If you really want to achieve happiness in your life, you must make an effort to forgive those whom you feel have wronged you.

Forgiveness and acceptance

By accepting the past you are letting go of the idea of being a victim and taking responsibility for being the creator of your own life. This also means letting go of blame and criticism of others.

Acceptance means forgiving others for their negativity and forgiving means that you begin to realise that others only did what they did because they thought it was right for you or themselves at the time.

Perhaps vegan is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. Or perhaps he just has a bad case of Grouchy Pants.
And speaking of grouchy pants, why aren't hemorrhoids called ass-teroids?

It was kind of funny, but the fact is HEMORRHOIDS refers to the morbid dilatation of the hemorrhoidal veins.

_________________

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

It seems easier to defend actions than to honestly examine them. We are quicker to attack than admit. Admissions require courage.

When we summon the courage to take ownership of our experiences, to see them just as they are, to feel them — we will recover the blueprints of our lives. We will face our fears and find the transparent beliefs that create them. Becoming more honest with ourselves means introducing more honesty into the collective consciousness of the world, and this lays a foundation upon which an enlightened planetary civilization can be built.





PERSPECTIVE

The easiest way to change something is to change your viewpoint. This does not always result in a change in the world, but it will place you in the optimum position should you wish to make a change in the world.

From the eternal stillness of source, one creates each successive moment of existence, as it was, as it is, and as it will be. All joys, all sorrows, all opportunities, and all limitations roll forth into creation from this stillness here now. Understanding that you are the convergent point of every reality is true perspective.

The prize of experience is perspective; everything else is information.





Each time you accept a thought that is greater than what you have accepted as your standard, that thought activates yet another part of your brain into purposeful use. Each time you do that, the greater thought will offer itself as a carrier to expand your reasoning from that point.

That will activate other portions of your brain for more thought, for more receiving, for more knowing.

You know, it is very simple to be a genius. All you have to do is think for yourself.




Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Not true, King and Queen Bolamers.

My life is very different from the way I'm perceived here. But, your comment does reflect your perceptive limitations, one more time.

No x, any one can be perceived on here from their posts. We don't know anything about you in the so-called "real world"

Queen Bolamer - now what's your point? Would that be "no one can be ------ (versus any one)?

If that is true - why did the original statement receive a "Ditto" from you? Are you thinking for yourself today?

Yes x I am thinking for myself. In the land of BOL I get the impression that you do not possess any of those qualities, that in turn would be my perception of you. Needless to say you could exhibit these qualities in the "real world" or maybe you are picky as to whom you show those qualities to.(referring to BOL)

I certainly hope you aren't showing your best qualities on here either or you would not be a very intelligent or fun person to be around.

Who cares - it's not like I'm looking for anything from BOL posters - it's just fun to deal with the little people. Here's the deal - BOLers are put into boxes - you've been put into the lame box. Now, there is nothing wrong with that, but thinking for yourself will get you out of that box.

From your posts I see an immature, irresponsible person who isn't very bright, but who certainly thinks a lot of herself. Just my opinion. Now you can cry and tell me why I'm wrong (which will only end up proving I'm right).

Me too. Also, if I turned on the charm - all kinds of offers would come my way. Being gifted in so many areas has its problems. In addition, I just watched "Kinsey" on HBO - I'm really gifted is so many ways with no need to read the book - but, a whole chapter should have been about me.
