THE POWER AND JOY OF FORGIVENESS - PART ONE

"Inner peace can be reached only when we pratice forgiveness. Forgiveness is the letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions. Love is letting go of Fear." Gerald G. Jampolsky.  

 

 

 

The Key 

 Forgiveness is "the key" to a transformation in your life. It will bring you relief, joy and above all the gift of freedom. No more strings attached! So to evolve to higher levels of life, we must first master a forgiving state of mind and heart. Now the soul is trapped within the body which is primarily controlled by the little ego personality. This is why and how the mind and emotions are manipulated, like puppets. The dilemma being that the weakest of the lower bodies composing the human form are the mental and the emotional bodies. It is here our little egos rule supreme, as these two "Lower Bodies" are the ones closet to the physical. This little ego is very clever and skilled, it understands all our weaknesses and strengths, and is determined to win the battle for control, over the guidance of our Higher Selves.

 Achieving The Goal 

 The goal we, as individuals, should strive to achieve - and that is the victory we all see within the mind´s eye - is the soul merging with the Higher Self. Not achieving this victory is THE ONLY THING that keeps us all in the throws and feeling of "seperation", a seperation from God. Not achieving this state causes us pain and delays the harmony and peace we all long for within. Perhaps now you can begin to understand that the ego (which is the individual personified) is the "shield" between the soul and the Higher Self. This ego works to rule the lower kingdom within humanity because each individual IS that kingdom. So once this fact is understood, the question now to ask oneself is : Whom do I serve : God or man? Whom do I trust : God of mammon?

 Choosing Freedom 

If we wish to free the lower self from pain, suffering and anguish, then there is only one choice to make, and this choice is the ONLY way to accomplish the goal. Each soul must choose "freedom" for the process to begin. But, as always, the choice is our own. Just remember that "forgiveness" is the key to purifying the soul, and this state of mind rests at the heart of one´s transformation. For the most part the teachings that should begin humanity´s enlightenment have fallen on deaf ears. It is also obvious today that the words from these wise teachings are analyzed mainly through the mind. This, dear friends, is not enough to experience fully the FREEDOM that is offered through the teachings, because one must also experience and understand the teachings with the heart. Analyzing and dissecting with the mind only, is insufficient. So let us continue to look at some of these teachings.

 Higher And Lower Energies 

The God Force is one pulsating field of energy. This energy field constitutes the life support system for individuals in embodiment and the connecting point to this "power" is through the Higher Self. Now anything vibrating less than the God Force, while still a part of the force, is considered to be of a lower vibration - or somewhat contaminated. The important thing here to remember is, that in order to connect with the power contained within the Higher Self, all lower forms of energy, all negative blockages must be cleared and raised into the collective frequency of this God Force. Emotions like hate, envy, jealousy, anger, remorse, suspicion, and even mild dislike all vibrate at lower frequencies. So any of these feelings serves to "contaminate" individuals, keeping us from realizing our own full potential and power.

 The Ego´s Choice 

Remembering that forces of both darkness and Light will constantly try to influence the little ego, it is then up to this ego, which controls the darker side of humanity, to make choices as to what to do with every experience encountered. The difference will always be that the Higher Self will provide higher guidance, but this requires more self discipline and strength to follow. That is why it is so much easier to hate, feel righteous, and above all "win" than to feel humbled in any way. It would seem that this little ego chooses the path of least resistance. It simply prefers to hang onto a justification for why we should continue to habour the lower feelings of resentment. Afterall, it is the perfect opportuity to stay in command and limit our soul awareness and development.

 Taking Control 

When we choose not to hold onto lower feelings any longer and begin to rise above them, the vibrational frequency of the soul is raised. And this always causes a shift in consciousness. Choosing to let go of one´s past habits and patterns always begins in the mind. So, the path to freedom is a CHOICE. Freedom begins the moment we choose to control the mental and emotional bodies and follow a higher path, rather than follow the path the little ego chooses. Once this choice is made to finally control the mental and emotional bodies (rather than they control us), a new world of hope, freedom and joy begins to manifest as a "reunion" with one´s Higher Self and a higher form of guidance begins. 

Ego Must Die 

The ego uses the mind and emotions, coupled with ingrained habits and traditions, to keep people from letting go of lower beliefs, attitudes and feelings. And the ego frequently wins because the control mechanism is so often fear or pride or both. Therefore, the declaration of victory for eternal life and entry into the Fifth Dimension is..... "EGO IS DEAD"! The important thing to bear in mind is... Forgiveness is nothing more and nothing less than LETTING GO!
