Forgiveness Lessons

I write often on forgiveness. It's an important matter and one that has far reaching and life changing potential. It's essential for true happiness and the only way to bypass ego and enter directly into spirit while remaining in this world. A Course in Miracles can really be summed up as a text book on forgiveness. It's a natural act that seems so difficult for most of us- why is that? I believe it's so difficult because we believe that we will gain something for our resentment, that if we could just make a person feel as bad as we do then surely they will see the error of their ways, or by sheer force of will we can change a circumstance to our benifit. This seldom works and never for long. Forgiveness - once committed to truly from the heart is for ever. And once we enter this remarkable kingdom of peace we become aware that forgiveness is not even really needed as this is are permament state of being - we are bliss in manifest form. Forgiveness is the key. Yet to get there we must practice as we have come a far way from our true home. The world os full of lessons and each one is our chance to forgive and to begin to recognize that in this way leads to home. We'll all get there - one lesson at a time.

Peace,
Eric
