Can You Forgive Yourself?

You cannot be a victim and be happy. You cannot judge, criticise and berate your Self and be happy.

There are very specific emotional pathways we each possess. They include aspects like fear, rigidity, distrust, feelings of failure, indeciveness, lack of confidence, resentment. We get these pathways from somewhere, someone, or some type of experience that occured in our life.

You may judge that you have made mistakes in your past, but they are not your identity. No matter how many mistakes you think you have made, you are not your mistakes!

To experience healing and wholeness you have to be willing to give up your attachments to the self ...

that has made mistakes
that has experienced failure
that has suffered illness
that messed up
that has been abused
that was betrayed
that was once unpopular
that has been victimized
that grew up poor
that was rejected
that was wrongly accused
that did not get the love.

True forgiveness is a willingness to change your mind about your Self.

The willingness to forgive yourself is really the willingness to replace thoughts of fear with thoughts of love, thoughts of condemnation with thoughts of kindness, thoughts of doubt with thoughts of trust.

Forgiveness works in the present. It teaches you:
1. You are not the pain of your past
2. The pain of your past is over now. Ultimately forgiveness undoes illusions of weakness and
limitation; through forgiveness you become whole and joyous once more.

What will you value more - the story of your ego, or the story of your unconditioned Self. Forgiveness is like a cosmic eraser that rubs out the pencil marks the ego has drawn upon your mind.

Forgiveness give you back your freedom.
