Today I’m preparing for my free Family Forgiveness Workshop and I’m very grateful for all the forgiveness I’ve done and the benefits that has brought.  I never imagined I could feel as peaceful as I do now.

The more I do this inner work, the more grateful I am that it’s even possible.  The more grateful I am that the truth of our being is that we are Light.  We are Light beings and Light workers.

I think of Love as being like white light.

White light is a full spectrum. It contains all the colors of light – red, blue, green, purple, etc. In the same way, Love contains all the spiritual qualities: Peace, Prosperity, Wholeness, Freedom, Joy, Wisdom, Clarity, Creativity, Harmony, Beauty, and more. They’re all aspects of Love.

Love is all we need.
Love is forgiveness, and forgiveness brings forth more Love.
More Love brings forth more forgiveness.
They work together.

Forgiveness offers us everything, because it removes the blocks to Love.

Here’s how that works.

God has already given us everything. We’ve been imbued with Wisdom, with intelligence, with Love. A Course in Miracles puts it this way:

“Teach only love, for that is what you are.” (T-6.III.2:4)

God has given us all of this. And we block the Love with unforgiveness: the grudges, the complaints, the grievances, and the judgments. Without the flow of Love, our mind atrophies. Our heart atrophies when we hold on to resentment, regret, guilt, shame, and blame.  Our life deadens and becomes tired and small.

Forgiveness releases all of those blocks, it really does. Forgiveness is a miracle, and it brings a cascade of miracles. Because we’re eternally one with everyone, we share the benefits of our miracles with all beings everywhere.

A miracle, according to A Course in Miracles, is when we shift away from the ego thought system and anchor into the Holy Spirit’s thought system. When our consciousness shifts, naturally the whole world shifts.

When we let go of blame, we make it easier for everyone else to let go of blame.  Including, but not limited to, every member of our family.

I wasn’t taught to see it this way at first. For years, I spun in obsessive thoughts and wasted so much of my life ruminating on complaints and grievances.

Getting out of that misery was worth everything I did to escape.

What I can tell you now is that, when we forgive, what we’re releasing isn’t the person or the event. It’s the meaning we gave to it, our interpretation, our attachment to what we perceived.

That’s the splinter in the mind.
That’s the purification that’s necessary.

Here’s a challenging teaching for many of us:  this world is an illusion projected by our mind. We’re all one, so there’s actually no other. It looks like there are all these different people, and there are not. There’s just one that looks like many.

The miracle we’re going for is the remembrance of that truth. Then we can have, moment by moment, a joyous experience of life. We can release the attachment to all the shoulds and to all the painful meaning we’ve given to everything.

That’s why I don’t try to figure out how to forgive. I just become willing.

Our job is not to understand it from the ego mind. Our job is to say, “Higher Holy Spirit Self, lead me. I’m interested in the truth. I’m interested in Wholeness.”

Because all minds are joined, when one of us forgives, everyone has healing. Regardless of whether other people seem to be doing their part, we’re it.  It’s down to us.

I see the same people coming back to my workshops again and again, because they know how powerful it is. What they’ve learned is that forgiveness is everything.

We’re rising up together.  It can become very joyful.

In the beginning, it can feel hard. It can feel nearly impossible. But working with the Higher Holy Spirit Self, nothing is impossible.

It just requires our true, authentic willingness.

If you’d like to bring that willingness into every area of your life, join me in my Masterful Living Program, where I teach the forgiveness work that brings forth extraordinary, unexpected, miraculous results.

Forgiveness is the way, and it’s already yours to choose.

SUNDAY:  Family Forgiveness – another FREE Forgiveness Workshop – this one with a theme.  The holidays are coming.  Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away.  Old resentments and family dynamics come up for healing during this last 2 months of the year.  Holding onto grievances blocks our faith, trust, and capacity for Love, the only way to have more Love is to be more loving.  We’ll do the healing work together.

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE: The Greatest Help for Your Awakening. In this episode of A Course in Miracles: Walking the Talk, Living the Love, I explore the trap so many of us live in: we ask and ask and ask, and still live with too little health, too little time, too little freedom. Something is standing in the way, and it isn’t what you think. After a workshop left me on fire, I opened The Song of Prayer, the ACIM addendum, and I’m sharing the hidden key in its first lines: “a greatest help that comes as a pair, one half eventually outgrown, the other never ending.” Imagine feeling supported, less triggered, and wide open to the good already being offered.
