A Different Kind of Forgiveness

I'm honored to practice and teach a different kind of forgiveness, the same kind of forgiveness that Jesus practiced and taught during his last lifetime here on earth, and is also taught today in "A Course in Miracles", which is also the voice of Jesus.

Old fashioned forgiveness is where you forgive even though the other is still judged to be wrong by you, which tells your unconscious that you think you are separate from the other, keeping you stuck in ego mind. True forgiveness recognizes that what you thought the other did to you has not occurred. It does not excuse the wrong and make it right. In this view there is nothing to forgive and we are all innocent.

Make no mistake, in order to really accept God's helper, the Holy Spirit, you must begin to trust God. You cannot trust Him until you recognize that it is not Him, but you, who is responsible for your experiences. You will feel guilty until you understand that this world is not real, and that nothing has really happened. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't act responsibly in the illusion. It means you must understand certain things in order to apply the true forgiveness that enables the Holy Spirit to help you the most. As the last thought of separation is undone, we will awaken in our true Home with God, and realize that we have been there all along. We will see that this dream is no more real than those we have while sleeping.

I'm grateful to experience first-hand the benefits of practicing this kind of forgiveness, which has brought more peace, love, and abundance into my life than I ever imagined in my wildest dreams. I'm also grateful to know that others are also having similar experiences. To be able to practice and teach this message of a different kind of forgiveness is the greatest and most rewarding opportunity of my life.
