I always return to forgiveness. Daily life brings thousands of slights imagined into existence for the sole purpose of the ego's satisfaction in its pursuit of separate identity. Forgiveness heals these slights in a peaceful balm of unity- there has been no wrong - there can be no wrong in a singular expression of life. Yet the ego sees things differently - the ego sees things separately. Spirit sees all things as one. It's the spirit that forgives. If we were to walk into a door and stub our toe - would we blame the toe for hurting? Would we blame the door? We could, I guess, but what purpose would it serve? Momentary relief? Not really - the toe still hurts and the door is still there. That's the ego seeking blame. Shut the door, soothe the toe and be more mindful of our surroundings - that's the spirits council. And that's the basis for forgiveness and a peaceful mind.
Peace,
Eric
