Forgiving It all

While time heals all, or so the saying goes, the one thing the saying doesn’t address is that which is required to go along with time, in order for time to heal all.  And that is transcendence.

In order to truly be healed by time, you must be willing to transcend the initial hurt, aggression, pain, disappointment, etc.  Without that, you may “move on,” however, you never really transcend or “let go.”

In your case, you are still carrying the fear, hurt and anger within you.  You have built up a defense system of walls and behaviors under the guise of protecting yourself.  However, in reality, you have imprisoned yourself, thus denying yourself the ultimate joy and love you are so very much entitled to in life.

While you can’t necessarily alter the actual events of the past, you do have the innate power and ability to alter the resulting outcome.  You and you alone hold that power and only you decide whether you consciously or unconsciously give it to another.

The label, identity or association of being a victim is a powerful and debilitating choice.  It robs you of your real truth, identity and purpose in life.

By choosing to no longer be a victim of past circumstances, you free yourself to have the future of your dreams.  Do not allow this individual, a minute longer, to rob you of what is innately yours.  Instead, forgive him for his trespasses, so as to forgive yourself for trespassing upon your self.

Remember, the prior acts did not imprison you; you imprisoned yourself based upon those prior acts.  You gave away your power by choosing to see yourself as a victim.  And that is why you have not transcended ALL.

While the acts perpetrated against you were violent, horrific and inexcusable, you are far more than someone else’s identity of fear, depraved indifference and lack.  You are love and light, soul and spirit.  You are limitless love, joy and purity.  You are one with God, and God only ever wants peace, love, joy, and abundance for all.

Begin anew today and every day of your life by forgiving yourself.  Not for the horrific act of another, for you do not in any way carry that responsibility, but rather for your subsequent beliefs, thoughts, hate, anger, and fear.

By seeing beyond the initial act, to what you were meant to learn from it, not be imprisoned by it, you will come to uncover the pearls of wisdom that have eluded you thus far.

By embracing this wisdom and accepting it as your own, you will finally free yourself to truly forgive ALL and have the healthy awesome relationship you so richly desire and deserve and are so very much meant to have and experience in this lifetime.
