I did this with my ex-husband. He had a violent temper and put me and the children through hell. I divorced him 30 years ago but I realized that under that exterior was a sensitive being - I saw this absolutely and I understood him completely and when I saw this well there was nothing to forgive. Pity I had to wait until I was 78 but even so I knew never to talk against him to anyone. When he was dying I visited him in hospital and I felt such love for him and I would like to think that, allthough he was unconscious, that he was aware of me and my understanding and love for him. He died six or seven hours after I visited him and I continue to wish him well and to find the peace he always sought.

You’re talking about detachment. Forgiveness requires both parties to have mutual acknowledge, a rebalancing of wrongs and reconciliation. Without acknowledge of wrongdoing the theft will steal from you again. You’re just simply taking about getting away from the theft and never seeing him again, that’s not forgiveness. And in the mean time he robs all your neighbors.

[@analysisonlight605]

The bible does say to forgive others and we will be forgiven, but you have to know when to forgive. Luke 17:3-4 "So watch yourselves, "If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'i repent,' you must forgive them." If someone does not come to you and sincerely ask for forgiveness, you do not have to forgive them. Actually, you are suppose to disapprove of them. And G-d does not blanketly forgive us. We have to repent first. And we have to truly repent, i.e. be sincere about it. And he knows if we are not sincere, just like we can tell if someone else is being sincere.

YES! They WILL do it OVER and OVER AGAIN! If there are no consequences for unhealthy behavior then they will think it's o.k. THIS WILL become their "controlling tactic." Sometimes NO CONTACT is very necessary, or separation with healthy boundaries or even supervision...I understand people are "doing the best they have with what they got," but it doesn't mean you should continue to be subjected to abuse ESPECIALLY as a child! It IS a lifelong healing process of releasing what no longer serves your higher life purpose... SOMETIMES intervention is Very necessary with "court ordered" separation and education... It's hard to "explain" this to a child living in abuse, or even an adult that is in denial of their abusive behaviors! They WILL continue to do this if they are not Stopped! Children need to be loved and nurtured to experience the peace for learning and growing. If adults can't do this they are not being Adults, and need to be retrained. Unfortunately most people are not equipped for such a task, and that is where maybe professionals can be of help. We really need to reprogram society and the individual families for a lot of this cycle to be broken or restructured...It all begins in each individual home or family... But working families with children (sometimes with Many different kinds of challenges) with the financial, mental and physical challenges of parents that are overwhelmed, overworked and just plain tired, not to mention one out of TWO families suffers from the disease of Alcoholism, it's enough to make ANYONE suffer from mental and physical ailments of MANY kinds! That's why it "takes a village to raise a child." Healthy support groups are so important for EVERYONE! Be AWARE! Be SAFE! Be BLESSED! 💯🙏💖💪💥💫🌴🌈🌅🕊️💕

This is something that has been on my mind for a few months. The word "forgive" actually means to to give before. So before anything ever happens, you're willing to give to another. True unconditional love means no limits or boundaries to your love. Obviously this is not an easy thing to do. But when you understand that we are all one and that no one can steal your peace other than yourself, then you realize how powerful you really are. The other thing I have learned is that in order to recieve love your heart has to be open. If your holding resentment and anger for someone (which there is no other only you) then your heart will be shut down and not open to receiving love. This is a great video thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

[@merncat3384]

YES 💜 I mean certain people can "steal my energy" in the moment when I'm around them because I literally feel the shift almost immediately and it makes me feel off.. But you're right about everything you said and I don't hold it against them.. my thoughts and perception were the only thing truly stealing my peace. I only wish I had felt this and truly understood before my Dad passed away. He was a good man and I judged him for his behavior, which I now understand was due to his own past trauma. I really struggled to let it go and it hurts my heart to think about it. I would act totally different towards him now. I forgive him in my heart but now it's regret that I'm struggling with. I know I have to let that go too because it's stealing my peace and I understand that I didn't know any better at that time but it doesn't change the fact that I wish I could have told him and treated him differently, with the love and compassion that he never had and so desperately craved but his pain and anger controlled him because he didn't know how to deal with it.. I understand because I started to become the same way.. all of that pain and bitterness was destroying me.

Releasing any suffering you may be holding is important. Forgiving them(you) doesn’t mean you are saying what they(you) did is okay. This is for you. Take responsibility for your creation/manifestation. This suffering may be generational of parents/ancestors expectations/assumptions/pain they carried too. Now is the time to release the past with love and ease. Forgiving others releases you from the chains of the past. Build your self concept and learn from the lessons, know your worth and value, have self respect and self love and maintain healthy boundaries. Or just affirm that your world is safe now and people don’t treat you like that anymore. Self concept is key here.

Also forgiveness of carrying old grudges,disappointments or of belittling themselves. Not saying it's right or wrong.

[@tarapayne4945]

I Disagree…When I consciously Forgave those that crossed me over the years, in a small ceremony, as WELL as MYSELF, Everything shifted. Bigtime. So it’s probably part of a PERSONAL process and Journey, and doesn’t play out the Same FOR ALL Beings. I Live on Kauai, and I Practice Honoponopono … and will continue, as I found Joy in doing so! But , you guys do You! It’s All Good 😊. Big Aloha Out to Each and Every one of you Ongoing! 💜⚡️💜⚡️💜⚡️💜⚡️💜

I would love to do Live Meditations together, that’s such an amazing idea! ❤ Btw I just found your channel and I listened to your Inner Child Healing Meditation the other day. I am so grateful to you! I have been living in survival mode and chronically depressed since middle school, I am 24 now and your meditation relaxed me so much that I fell asleep listening to it but I know it reached my inner child/unconscious because ever since I listened to it, I am full of energy, my inner voice is not mean to me. I am not exaggerating when I say I have not cleaned my apartment in a whole year because of crippling depression but today I happily started cleaning. Work seems like a breeze. Honestly I cannot thank you enough! ❤

[@MasterConduitCourses]

This is basically the same as forgiveness. It is an acceptance of where the person is at. However, there is a benefit to this way of seeing… rather than focusing on the past and forgiving for closure, It’s getting out ahead of the energy and being able to add energy and momentum to the allowance of change and transformation. I find Ho’oponopono very good at clearing current energy within our own perspective. It allows to accept how we have engaged energetically in beliefs that are detrimental to ourselves in others by keeping past or present stories and observations alive.

[@highflyer72]

Good explanation ❤️

[@michellem775]

I feel like I have to hear this again and really take in what you said. Forgiveness has been the hardest thing for me to do. What you and Eckhart said really makes sense.

[@ritaconklin9664]

Yes... You are so right...My daughter has a real difficult time forgiving me for anything...She does not live in the NOW moments, or even if she does, she reverts back to the past again. Her life has had more people aggravating her then ever. She does not seen to transmute much of anything at all. She does not realize most of the people of the past have transmuted many of their past LIVES, if they were not seeming compatible with who they want to be transformed into.❤ If she doesn't get this concept soon, I may have to transmute her completely. So sad, isn't it?

[@markuslandington2593]

Forgiveness is the first step towards uprooting toxic attachments. Usually you first forgive someone for offending you with the sentiment that they don't know better or not emotionally evolved, then try to see the toxic position that person has put themselves in, that led them to taking action against you, and feel sorry for them being in a toxic mindset. Those are the steps a spiritually mature person takes each time they are offended, because they know that holding grudges and re-living hurt are the best ways to put themselves in a hellish condition in the present. Grudges and traumatic memories have a sneaky way of popping up at the time of death, so we need to train our minds to think only of what we want to attain in the next life, for what we think of at our last breath, we become that in our next birth.

[@michelledupuis123]

Thank you Aaron!! I 100% agree with this. I’ve tried to explain this to friends and they all think I’m crazy but I’m at peace a lot more often than they are and I’m not attracting the chaos they’re creating and attracting. Also my health has improved significantly and the people that refuse to change and let go of the past, they continue to get sicker.

[@cosmiclovetravelagency]

Beautiful explanation, Aaron, I love how you’re growing on this platform & in your public speaking skill! 🎉

[@tinalouise1764]

The other way of looking at it is at the Soul level. As in we make agreements and contracts with other souls to help us learn different aspects. If someone is abusive to us, we usually learn self worth and to set boundaries. Exactly as we had chosen to and we had asked them to play their role to enable us to become stronger and learn self love. When we get to the point of saying "thank you for playing your part so well, I couldn't have learned to value and love myself without you".

[@maryrosemitchell9682]

Understanding is more important than forgiveness. Once we understand that each character “person” is doing the best he or she can with the mental, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical capacity they have in any given moment we can surrender to what is. How can we expect more from another character when they are always doing their best? Even when they apparently fall woefully short, that was the best that could be done in that moment. If we meet someone who is not on our frequency, we owe it to ourselves to move on, but there is nothing to forgive.

[@KristinaZeug]

I go with every word you say @AaronDoughty44. So you are right again😉 All people has their own story with patterns, anger and negative emotions catched by the past. So simply its making peace with their hurting action, because they weren't be able to react in another way. Snow is falling around here, so peacefull and really really cold ☀️is missing the ☀️ Have a nice day and a big hug

[@karlphillips8310]

Forgive yourself first! Don't carry the burden with you when you can drop it on the wayside in your journey through this life. Learn from the experience and take steps to stop bad experiences happening again or surrounding yourself with negative energy people. 4U 2 move 4ward, U2 must 4give U. It all starts with U.

[@paulsimon3086]

Hi 5s. Good talk… i keep looking at this stuff because i realize the hardest person to forgive is me! And today you helped put a nice big crack in that. Love listening to you Aaron, thanks

[@guadalupeiorio1216]

Every time I listen to Aaron's videos, I shake my head. It has always been me! I need to get out of my own way and let it flow. Let go of the negative to make room for the positive.

[@emchat8]

Please make a group for live meditations and workshops! Your videos and meditations have saved my life! 💜💜💜

[@CC-ep5px]

Just FRICKIN MIND BLOWING AMAZING! I heard a talk with Eckart talking about that when dealing with some family stuff, and it was instantly WOW! I love how you said the old version of you was doing the best they can. ROCKING my WORLD!!!

[@bardofely]

Thank you for all you share, Aaron! Yes, please for LIVE unity meditations and workshops!

[@JerryDechant]

A simple practice I use, is to say with loving and compassionate intention, "Blessings to us all." This radiates energy which improves, raises the vibrations of everyone who avails themselves to the blessing. I say, avails themselves to the blessing because everyone has freedom of choice, and therefore the blessing isn't forced upon anyone without their consent. Blessing instead of cursing is generally uplifting and promotes well-being. In my personal experience, I have found this practice to be uplifting of my own frequency energy state as well, because I am included in the "all". Whatever the practice, if it works for you, go for it, but you have to try it to see if it works for you, you cannot just read about it or hear about it and not implement the practice to experience results from it.

[@og_goated]

wow i took notes and reflected on everything. i cried and released so much since discovering you... thank you Aaron for truly guiding us all!! Love & Light

[@Mgardener7849]

Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23:34 . And other places with in the bible speak on this subject. and I'm just now seeing it.That's my ahuh moment. Thanks.

[@knowitintobeing]

Everyone just acts from their knowledge at ths moment of the action. Most people dont have bad intentions towards others. Some people do learn. But regardless of that, yes, letting go of all resentment is very very good. And a very power catalyst for our growth. 😊❤

[@MsCG-ix6pb]

Forgiveness is for you not the other person or people. You can go on but if you don't deal with those issues your life will be affected. Too many people pretend they're not bothered when the choices and decisions they've made or make clearly shows they are. For more than 2 decades I've worked with people and I know what I've written is true. Nothing is new, people all over the world deal with similar issues but on different degrees and levels. Bottom line is change your mindset it will change your life. That's will the change/shift occurs.

[@aniab4976]

I struggle with this one because not everyone does harm to others unconsciously Aaron. Some people do or very deliberately. I’d love to hear you address that.

[@HealWeGoAgain]

I don't think he means unconsciously as in they don't know what they're doing in the moment, he means they are acting from a lower level of consciousness, low vibrational behavior. That's why he mentioned the higher self/higher consciousness.

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

@@HealWeGoAgain that still sounds like knowing what they’re doing, though. If someone expresses remorse later and wants to change, then that’s another story, because we all change as we get older (for better and worse), but not everyone acknowledges their harmful behaviour and wants to do differently in future. Some people just don’t care.

[@HealWeGoAgain]

@@ShintogaDeathAngel yea, that what i said... unconsciously does not mean they didn't know. My stepmother abused me, she knew very well what she was doing, she was just operating out of a lower level of consciousness, that wasnt her higher self abusing me. That's what he's saying in the video.

[@miriam8026]

So what if they know? You know better... taming our ego helps us to see that they can not harm us because we are not our body or our ego etc.

[@SpiritualDrifterDave]

i totally agree Aaron. I have been teaching this to my clients for a log time ❤🙏

[@eric_montag]

This is such an empowering message. ❤

[@CharleneCoscarelli-vk2bc]

I like to say it like: please forgive me, I forgive you, I forgive myself. The most important energy in my opinion is the forgiving of the self, which in my case at least, relieves the aggression one feels when your boundaries are violated. For me at least, that is where the magic lies. Hopefully the boundary violator can forgive themselves as well.

[@memyselfandi1242]

YES to the free collective live meditation’s!!! Didn’t your mother say something about this in your post about her passing??? Condolences btw x If we all get together we can help shift ourselves and other ❤ I find it frustrating not being able to get to local groups and have wanted to find somewhere online that connects me to the same people I need in person…. But, it can be done online with the right person….

[@lamaelcharif1523]

Very deep insights! Many religious beliefs are in alignment with the idea of "When we change ourselves, the circumstances around us change" What scares me about owning responsibility of bringing the unconsciousness into our lives is, the overload of this idea. The burden one can bring onto themselves by thinking that way. Sometimes the universe has a grand plan, that we don't understand right away. Maybe the universe saw, how generous you were, with forgiving your step mom and rewarded you by firing the controlling manager. When we think, we are the doer in our live, we are taking on too much. I view myself like a cell in a body. The brain is God. I give out signal to God and God responds. But I like the idea of owning other people's energy, like the Dr. Lee Hew did. We do that all the time by praying for someone. Praying for the collective. It is like we are being responsible for other's people's unconsciousness. I worry about putting too much thought into this. It seems like we want to control our lives fully with our thoughts. We are not fully in control. Surrendering to that, gives me a peace of mind. Just knowing the universe, has your back, because you have a good heart, is enough. But I get what you're saying. If I am neutral about something or someone, there isn't that much resistance to it. It might dissolve on its own. There is something in the islamic religion about asking for forgiveness. It is said it brings on wealth, health and abundance.

[@nysunra]

This was a powerful WORD. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@skydancerhealingretreat4865]

OMG love you you hit the nail on the head with this. I too dealt with narcissists in the family and removed myself from the pattern of emotional abuse. Very true, I work with subconscious healing in my trauma therapy work. Thank you 🙏

[@Ethanfourie1]

Absolutely love this video. Such truth right there 🙏♥️ I literally saw this happen the other day by forgiving and being grateful for the situation. It shifted everything almost instantly! 🥰🥰

[@user-um7xf6ez2p]

I was taught that forgiveness releases the energy from the traumatic event that happened and tells the universe that you have released the trauma and can move forward with new energy,

[@angiegardner8811]

Thanks so much Aaron for taking the time to get the wisdom and share it with all of us. God bless your life.

[@2006Gigi2006]

I love this & thank you for it! I never found peace in forgiveness and it was me forcing energy rather than accepting. What finally worked was spending energy on healing myself and spiritually untethering from the pain origin. No more energy to that person, they must make their own way energetically without any more of mine.

[@LegacyTheWitch]

Wow! I was just thinking about basically the same kind of stuff you’re teaching here right now last night. This is no coincidence that I am catching this video right now.😊 Great job at explaining the oneness of us all with each other & God/Source on the concept of forgiveness. That was beautiful. ❤

[@sugarfree1894]

You will know when you are ready to forgive. It will be the point at which there is no way forward without doing it and you will not really feel ok until it's done. Until then, don't push yourself unnecessarily.

[@moonlightea]

Man, Aaron... I've been in a funk for some time and really needed to hear this at this very moment. You're my modern Jesus in this lifetime, lol ❤ (my son is my Krishna ❤) It's so beautiful to recognize and appreciate the divinity within us.🙏💖
