I have been drawn to all things forgiveness since I was a young child. I remember
those difficult teen years when falling out with friends was commonplace. I had a
few words shared with a schoolgirl, yet by the following day I had forgotten about
it entirely.
It wasn’t always like this for me. There were other times when the wound cut deep
and forgiveness was difficult to hold. I might have said that all was good, but
hidden underneath was a pain that was punishing to carry — at that time, I was not
yet aware that the true cause of every pain we face is some aspect of the belief in
separation from God.
With each passing year, I continued to go deeper into darkness, which I
did not believe could be possible. I had to get so deep to learn how to truly save
myself.
My near-decade of the dark night saw me segregated from the world. But this was
needed, for I was undoing the wrong mind of ego thinking and learning to follow God.
When I speak of God, I am referring to the Oneness of Perfect Love — a path to peace
that leads from the ego-self of specialness to the true Self that is still as God
created: Perfect, peaceful and powerful.
What came to hurt me is what was used to truly heal me. And the same
applies to you.
