Forgiveness comes forth through Compassion.
Compassion is born of Understanding.
To truly forgive one’s self, or an other, one must have an understanding of how one has been served by an experience in which forgiveness is now sought.
Forgiveness is not an act of granting approval to one’s self or an other for an action that was harmful in some manner.
Forgiveness is an act of Completion.
Forgiveness is the act of releasing oneself from a lesson, now achieved.
Forgiveness is the acknowledgment of one’s smaller being to Source, that one has come to an understanding of the lesson of a challenging experience and has now reaped the knowledge of the experience that was of value in bringing growth to one’s Greater Being.
Forgiveness is also the releasing of that which was not of value to the Greater Being, from within the experience.
Those on the Journey to Wholeness via the path of Self-Healing, often become frustrated when an experience they feel they have found closure upon through forgiveness, arises once again for them, sometimes years later.
Often current life experiences that precipitate a need of coming to the state of forgiveness are manifestations of a much deeper root situation.
If you find a situation in your life reopened that you felt you had closed and achieved forgiveness within, by acknowledging this as an opportunity for deeper healing, you allow your Greater Self to lead you to Higher Understandings bringing forth Compassion from which the Highest Expression of Forgiveness springs.
