In the New Thought spiritual world, a central focus is

the act of forgiveness. Almost all great spiritual leaders,

most notably Jesus, emphasize the cleansing and healing

power of forgiveness.  I have done a lot of forgiveness

work having grown up in an abusive environment and

I am getting better at forgiving others in my life.

 

What I do poorly at times is to forgive myself. Frankly,

all things considered Ihave not done all that much 

to deserve this to be an issue. But when I am lost

in my pain body as Eckhart Tolle describes it, I can

take great pleasure in  mugging myself for my past

misdeeds. This may be the reason I received this

guidance from God titled Forgive Yourself.

Based on this meditation note self forgiveness

clears the soul.

 

FORGIVE YOURSELF 

Forgive yourself for not being perfect – for not doing,

saying, acting, and thinking as you think you should

or as the controller in your mind wishes you to behave.

 

Forgive yourself for all the mistakes you have made

in the past – all the missteps – the wrong directions –

all the blunders that appear today to be so clear and

avoidable.

 

Forgive yourself for all the pain you have caused

yourself and others – the pain you have caused

your children and free yourself of the guilt and

turmoil.

 

Forgive yourself for the missed opportunities,

for the poor choices, for the things you have done

that if better thought out you would not have done.

 

Forgive yourself for all the evil that you think you

have created and/or caused and free yourself from

the anguish of these deeds.

 

Forgive yourself as God has forgiven you knowing

each step was essential for your growth and

understanding.

 

Forgive yourself and love yourself again – knowing

you have done your best and always had the best

intentions in mind.

 

Forgive yourself and release all the pain and

anguish now and forever.

 

Now breathe the fresh breath of a clear soul.

Lately, I have been reviewing my journals, and when

inspired, publishing the Meditation Guidance from

my early years on the train that have never been

published on the blog. I had not read this note

featured here since I transcribed it in 2011.

 

As the note below titled Shame and Forgiveness

posits God has already forgiven us, even before

we pursue it. God's role seems to be to assist us

through the self-forgiveness process, which requires

our facing the truth, assuming responsibility for our

actions, and making amends for our transgressions.

 

SHAME AND FORGIVENESS 

Forgiveness is only fully possible through God

for those acts that have created pain for others;

have disturbed the universe; have resulted

in loss, grief, turmoil, and hurt.

 

These acts often locked away in the back room

of our psyches are like a monster hidden in a

trunk – demanding awareness – requiring 

 

restitution.

 

These are the acts that create the feeling of

overwhelming remorse – shame – dwelling in

our consciousness – and when not dealt with,

punishing us each day.

 

These acts require universal recognition,

needing to be fully revealed; addressed by us,

along with the victims and the universe.  

Karmically, we must settle in order to go on.

 

This level of forgiveness requires complete Divine

intervention and assistance – a need to reveal

the truth through prayer, asking God for forgiveness.

This is not done because God has to forgive us –

because God has already forgiven us – it is needed

to aid us in our own forgiveness – it is needed

to allow us to be released and freed from this inner

turmoil - letting this burden be lifted – for our  

dis-ease to be cured.

 

God wants us to move beyond this transgression

and be renewed – to be clear to move forward

without continued self-punishment – to be

released from the bondage of our own self-created

turmoil – to enable us to find balance.

 

Today, in prayer and meditation, open up the trunk

and reveal the truth– comprehend its impact on all

concerned, asking God to guide you on what needs

to be done to alleviate your guilt, pain, and suffering,

while making restitution to those who have been

hurt. Continue until fully released.

 

Know you are forgiven, and be grateful.
