ha ha, yeah, what you said. the worst of the worst, huh? god help us. oh, wait, that's us, isn't it? well, the rest of god help us then. i just hope that god with all his (oops - her..) infinite virtue has infinite patience with those of us arcade-bound truants who have yet to 'move' or get off the can, so to speak.

it's a law of one staple that every 'part', no matter how small, is a totally necessary part of the whole, and thus none is, or possibly can be, lost. i feel it's important to consider that any perceived situation is ultimately illusory, therefore we need not consider that any are in any real danger. its, as you also say, an issue of releasing impacted pockets of fear, which impact upon all else in the greater stageplay. sure, our 'help' has a vested interest in yanking our motorcycling butts outta the mud, but my intuition is telling me that in the end, there is only service - as opposed to the dodgy, philosophically troublesome concept of sts/sto. your butt is mine, pal! (don't read anything into this, please)

forgiveness = acceptance: i'd add something to this, in light of larry saying that forgiveness collapses time. forgiveness/acceptance is the locomotive we each and collectively ride in our journey up thru the densities. as a frail human concept, it comes closest to defining that which is most wholly responsible for any forward motion in regard to our movement into bigger and better things.

to not be willing to accept an undesirable condition is to invite its persistance. to accept the condition is half the battle towards understanding what the condition is there to teach you, for everything encountered in life does appear to you in order to teach you something about yourself. the particular desireability/undesireability of a condition, as it sits with you, is always a reflection of some aspect of yourself - and if that condition is distasteful to you, it is there to point you towards some aspect of yourself that actually detracts from a fuller, better and more aware expression of who and what you are. all there really is, is awareness. this, i have come to intuit, is an absolute truism.

now, this takes some practice, and meditation is a valuable asset here, as asking the hard questions of yourself in light of this understanding will accelerate your 'coming into awareness'. the practice of attempting to live the concept of the law of one, and seeing others as different versions of your self, undergoing a different set of experiences, serves to make more readily real the idea that each can act as a dynamic mirror of and for the other.

a condition persists as long as it is useful - your experiences are intimately tied to who you are, and as cayce said, mind is the builder. an emotionally charged condition invites you to see yourself in the condition. it illustrates exactly those aspects of your self that need attention, always. here, one has the added advantage of knowing that their outer experiencing always mirrors theiir inner being, and as it can be hard to fathom one's own depths, one's outer experiencing can make this process easier and more visible.

from this, one can discern that forgiveness of self and forgiveness of outer conditions are inseparable concepts. although no one can tell you how to go about your own process of self acceptance, it helps to know that the entirety of your outer world experience has it's existence only to mirror your self back to you. if you can accept more of what you are, without guilt or shame, you will see a corresponding change in what you experience happening in the outer world.

accept/forgive your perceived imperfections, don't try to bury your distortions. bring 'em out of the closet and unabashedly look at them, and while you're at it, bless and allow the untrammeled being of your auntie mae, although she has too many cats, and her place stinks. don't be too weirded out or unforgiving of your boss, who is trying to put fear into you to increase the bottom line. that's his/her way of expressing the fear put into him/her by his/her own boss, and a challenge to you to help displace that fear with love/forgiveness. the buck has to stop somewhere.

send love and forgiveness/acceptance to those powers-that-be that seemingly corrupt and taint your world - allow/forgive them this, and you help to remove the necessity for their influence, and you allow your self to be a little more uncoupled from your own less than 'perceived' unsavory distortions and emotional hang-ups, and to become all the more unassailable by the powers that be, as you have helped remove the reason for our collective shadow side to have reactive power over us.

accept the world in it's becoming, and you allow great light and illumination into your self and thence into the world. mark
