RE: The Quantum of Forgiveness - Why my definition of the word "Forgiveness" is different

in #forgiveness7 years ago

Awesome Joe, forgiveness truly has amazing potential to be a tool of self-empowerment. It is unfortunate how the term has been "corrupted" by religion over the years and has been made into the opposite of it's real potential to have us give our power away to belief systems. On the other hand, that in itself is something we can change through forgiveness of ourselves for having considered for even a moment that we must suffer in judgment, guilt and shame in the name of a higher authority and that we have not realized ourselves as that authority.

Yes that is a very cool thing. Because we can start with forgiving ourselves for the way we have been accepting the idea of "forgiveness" lol. And already that puts us on a different footing than where we were before.
