Forgiveness is liberation from ego. A gateway to Oneness. 🙏🏻

[@jamescadzow9545]

Forgiveness is not for the other person, to release them of their guilt and shame. Forgiveness is for yourself, and you no longer carry anger or resentment towards the situation.

[@AM23.]

So very true

[@jamescadzow9545]

I understand we all have to go through the same process. The more you understand the unconscious mind in humans the easier it gets. It doesn't give them an excuse, yet it provides a logical explanation as to why..

[@pashalu]

Yes- I feel the wholeness of forgiveness of self (finally) to truly be able to give forgiveness to others. The beauty of the essence of life is within ourselves completely. The reference to the adage “one person can make a difference “ holds soo much power now in the understanding of union of self and consciousness.

[@m2pozad]

Forgiving is not necessary for processing and letting go of loss, or for being wronged.

[@Dtella55]

Right...💯💯

[@AmberSkye369]

Eckhart is absolutely beautiful, I'm so grateful to be able to listen to him in this lifetime!

[@brittlundkvist5264]

Eckhart, I´ve been resisting "forgiveness" all my life. Have always thought that the German word, Verlassen, is so much more appropriate than forgiveness. Verlassen; to leave! So, finally, you have released me from the resistance! I will forgive! Thank you!

[@bizarrodrake]

I was not aware of Verlassen until now. Thank you for sharing, Britt. German always seems to have much more appropriate words than English for certain philosophical concepts. Be well 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Knowledge is power ....what I know is that I don't know anything

[@peaceandlove6646]

Something eckhart said in one of his videos that really resonated with me at a time.... When you reach a point where you no longer want to feel the way you do towards another person or yourself, that is forgiveness. So liberating 🦋

[@charris000]

and I would add, that we don't always need to wait that long, that we can also take a 'leap of faith,' and try to imagine what it might feel like, or actually act as if it were true, and see if you can't speed up that awakening process.

As in the st francis prayer "where there is wrong, let me bring the spirit of forgiveness . . . it is by forgiving that one is forgiven."

[@namehere4954]

There is no wrong. All is divinely guided exactly how it should be. "Wrong" is your own judgment based on ego filters.

[@zain4019]

InCogNito Forgiveness does not mean you cannot act. Forgiveness means you come from a place of peace. This peace will be reflected in all actions you may take. What is done is now no longer done out of righteousness or hate, but out of love and understanding. You can overthrow a dictator out of love, not only for the love of the people, but the understanding of the person this dictator is, and the love for the truth of this being - one and the same with our own. There is no contradiction there.

Forgiveness of others is true self love. Forgive and you’ll be forgiven. Create flow and ease in your body.. just say ‘I forgive you’ boss, co-worker, friend, family member, ex or current partner.. you don’t have to let anyone rent space in your head.. forgive let them or situation go... bless them if it’s hard.. eventually there won’t be any Ill feeling towards them which means you stay healthy 🙌💯❤️

[@sallyrile7601]

Where then do u bury ur painful feelings around this painful event..hopefully not inside yourself and lead to de pression, or tumours in body..better feel ur painful feelings in ur body where feelings are, to unfurl and heal. Forgiveness may, or may not come and both ok

[@artofsarahjane]

Having compassion for abusive people can be so hard. I really like this perspective, of protecting yourself from the negative karmic cycle, through forgiveness. And it's true, a lot of abuse people are holding onto beliefs taught to them by society. This act of forgiveness is so monumentally against the teachings of modern society. It must be the only way to break the cycle. Wanting someone to suffer for the suffering they have caused, only breeds more pain.

[@fida6166]

Once you see unconsciousness, you can only have compassion to offer. By that, you automatically forgive and free.

[@CarolineOxfordIntuitionHub]

Without forgiveness we are only really punishing ourselves in the end. When we choose to forgive we aren't condoning the ill action that occurred but rather setting ourselves free mentally & spiritually - while detaching ourselves from the karma of that situation.

[@TanyaRadic]

Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping everyone else will die 😅

I am from India What is technical definition of forgiveness If know please explain it clearly

[@iddodavni]

@@mallikharjunaraovankayalap7141 माफी

[@sameerether1769]

@@mallikharjunaraovankayalap7141 It technically means "to give up desire or power to punish". Spiritually speaking, You cannot truly forgive yourself or others as long as you derive your sense of self from the past. Only through accessing The Power of Now, which is your own power, can there be true forgiveness. This renders the past powerless, and you realize deeply that nothing you ever did or that was ever done to you could touch even in the slightest the radiant essence of who you are. The whole concept of forgiveness then becomes unnecessary.

[@RestorationRanchHealing]

It was by far easier for me to forgive others than it was for me to forgive myself. It seems I have held myself to a higher accountability for myself.

[@whodatcat]

I felt your comment

[@TheBlackSheepDiaries]

I felt it too, well stated my friend.

[@zain4019]

See yourself as the child you are. There is nothing differently you could have done, knowing what you had known at the time. This is true for all beings. Given our conditioning, circumstances and biologies, what we do is the only thing we could have done at any moment. Give yourself this forgiveness. Gently. Try it. Just to see what happens. You will feel a peace arising. This peace will overflow into love, genuine love. EFT, EMDR and somatic experiencing helped me so much. I really recommend trying them.

[@Darima2]

I understand forgiveness on an intellectual level and I understand it somewhat on a spiritual level that letting go will equal less pain and more true freedom. I'm very naturally spiritual and yet, I still struggle to forgive those who have wronged or mistreated me who have never acknowledged or apologized or even deny what they did which then makes you feel gaslighted. It just feels like why do they get to feel like they did nothing wrong? And be just fine. It feels like it absolves them of their bad behaviour especially if that's what they think. I know this is unhealthy to think this way but this is why Forgiving is The most difficult thing to do. I'm trying though.

[@sameerether1769]

They know not what they are doing. People are sleepwalking. They haven't reached the sensitivity or openess to another life form for them to recognise that they have hurt the other. At the same time one need not become a victim of another person's unconsciousness. Take conscious action.

[@namehere4954]

You need to realize the incidents that have occurred are lessons for you to realize. That pattern will typically go back to childhood wounds - rejection, abandonment, shame, guilt, etc. The universe will handle balancing out the karma others have doled out to you. You just need to align with your higher self and be your best authentic self. Accept all is as it should be and pick up on the pattern of lessons so they stop repeating.

Do I just forgive and accept "What Is" or do I forgive and remove myself?

I can attribute most of the anguish in my life to my level of unforgiving beliefs. It’s so damaging internally to hold that anger, no matter how justifiable I find my own lack of forgiveness. The real bummer is when I have no idea I haven’t forgiven and I’m suffering the consequences of the lack of forgiveness. I’m sure on some level, somewhere inside me I haven’t forgiven but I really try to find it.

[@Maliilse75]

Respecting our boundaries in close relationships, especially with challenging people, is also incredibly important. Because we are responsible for caring for ourselves primarily, it is nobody else's job but ours. So when someone steps over the line or does something unloving or "un-supporting", it's our responsibility to do what is best for us, whether it is saying "no", breaking off a relationship, anything. As an adult, we can't really play the victim as each of us is responsible for her or his own happiness. Whenever we complain, our inner child has taken over.

The ego is always desperate to hold on to anger and resentment. Thinking about the past (or the future) won't change a thing - presence and being mindful is where it's at. You have to turn that pain body into love, compassion and non-judgement. It takes time and commitment but soon you will start to have less intrusive emotions and negative thoughts. Love to all.
