Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Article: International Worldwide Forgiveness Day - By Colin C. Tipping *** --------------------------- August 3rd was designated as International Worldwide Forgiveness Day by the visionary Robert Plath. His vision was that it would be a day that would evoke the spirit of forgiveness worldwide. He created the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance in 1996 to empower that vision. Each year on this date, the Alliance honors people who have made a contribution to spreading the message of forgiveness throughout the world, either by the work they have done or by the examples set in their own lives. I was proud to be nominated by the Alliance as a Champion of Forgiveness in 2002 and was honored to speak at their annual event in California. As a counterpoint to our automatic " God Bless America " parochialism, what appeals to me most about this organization is that its focus is worldwide forgiveness. Their stated goal is to " establish this International Forgiveness Day (not just in America but) in every village and hamlet across the world by the year 2025. " Although International Forgiveness Day just passed, I am hoping you will respond to the call and will wake up feeling an urge to do some forgiveness work. If you do, two questions will arise. First, who shall I try to forgive ? Second, what kind of forgiveness shall I use ? No trouble with the first for I doubt it would take you long to find someone in your own personal life against whom you still hold a grievance. To forgive them would be a wonderful gift to yourself and a great contribution to your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Remember, you do forgiveness for yourself, not for those you are forgiving. However, since the focus of the Forgiveness Alliance is worldwide, you might think about expanding your vision by looking to see how the benefits of forgiveness could be extended to people around the world. After all, do we not have judgments and grievances about those who are responsible for situations like Darfur, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Zimbabwe, and other such seemingly bad conditions ? Are those judgments not just as toxic to us as our other grievances, and from an energetic point of view, don't our judgments tend to keep the energy around the situations stuck ? Of course they do. As far as the second question is concerned, if you really want to make a difference to what is happening in those places, as well as release your own stress around it, then it has to be RADICAL Forgiveness. And that's because it works NOT through the intellect (as in traditional forgiveness where forgiveness is thought of as a conscious choice to let bygones be bygones), but through that part of us that connects us to the quantum field of universal consciousness. The way it works is when we do our forgiveness work using the tools of Radical Forgiveness (these are what make it so easy and quick), we automatically make an alteration to our energy field. Then, because we are all part of what Rupert Sheldrake, the English biologist, refers to as the morphogenetic energy field to which all humans belong, our own shift in energy will have an immediate effect on the overall field. Consequently, if just a small number of people were to do a Radical Forgiveness process on the situation in " Darfur " , for example, they would have an unimaginable but profound impact on the situation in that country. Things would start to move in the right direction. Positive changes would begin to happen immediately. It's an energy thing! So I invite you during this time of worldwide forgiveness to start using Radical Forgiveness. By all means use it for something personal, but then cast your mind beyond self and even beyond the shores of the country in which you live, to the world 'out there.' Choose a situation about which you feel strongly. Then ' forgive ' all those you see as being to blame for everything that is bad in the world. This is the only way we are ever going to have world peace and harmonious relationships between everyone. And it really is up to us to create it. By doing the Radical Forgiveness work, we are, firstly, taking responsibility for having created , through our own consciousness, all these people and situations. Secondly, we will be taking back all that we have collectively projected onto these people. Only then will we begin to heal the misperception that we are all separate and need to attack each other. Only then will we stop fighting each other, abusing each other, stealing from each other, and so on. But we don't have forever to make this choice. The clock is ticking.I believe that we have to make the conscious choice to shift our consciousness from the fear vibration to love vibration now, or have it be a very difficult transition indeed. I may be right about this or wrong about it, but I would still ask you to take this day seriously, folks, and join the many amongst us who are already trying to change the world by seeing the perfection in the imperfection.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ok, so you don't put yourself in the situation again to be a door mat or whatever BUT 'never forget' should NOT mean that you bring up the mistake/bad thing in the future. What I mean is that when you forgive, that is the end; in the future, don't bring up in conversation what they did. We ALL do bad things and we don't want the other person/people to keep bringing up what we did bad to them. Women especially have a habbit of doing this e.g. when they are having an argument with someone, they will bring up what bad thing the other person did a long time ago. So forgive and forget means forgive and don't keep shoving what bad thing the person did in their face.

There is nothing to forgive since we are all reflections of the inner self. Those that you condem for wrongs are just divine beings letting you know what you need to let go of within you. Awaken to your true self and change your life.
