Forgiveness

Speaking of the backstabber I have been struggling with forgiveness and anger today. I know that I am best off forgetting this situation with my backstabber sister but in order to forget her I have to keep her out of my life. Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing but it is difficult considering how close my family is. I’m not the only person in my family that she has screwed over but she screwed me the worse.

I found this quote from Abraham-Hicks that is great advice yet hard to do in certain situations …

So, if something has hurt you and you’re working to forgive it, you are activating it. Forgiveness is almost exactly the same, in fact we would say it IS exactly the same as saying, “I’m going to deactivate this thing that’s hurt me.” And we would say, the reason that it doesn’t go very far and the reason that people struggle so hard with the idea of forgiveness is because they keep digging up the stuff that they don’t want and keeping it active in their vibration so that they have a stream of people they have to forgive.

>snip<

So we would give forgiveness a new definition. We would say, the ultimate way of forgiving is really forgetting; and the ultimate way of forgetting, really is by remembering something you want to remember.

    I think that in order to truly forgive, you must make an attempt at openness. I would suggest the lovingkind meditation. And as a tidbit, if you continue to refer to your sister as the backstabber, you will find it hard to let go.

    Only my two cents of course.

    Ro,
    Thanks so much - that is such great advice! I completely agree that I have to get over the ‘backstabber’ label. I guess no healing or forgiveness can begin if anger is still there. I’m off to google ‘lovingkind meditation’
    Thanks again!
    Deb
