the problem with a concept like forgiveness is that our perception and thinking is distorted, so that it is possible to analyze the term till the cows come home and it won't make a bit of difference. becoming enlightened automatically will bring that state. i'm speaking from experience, from the few times i've been in that unified state, where everything and everyone is one. so i know how it feels, it's just a matter of working towards it in the face of the all the opposition and polarity of 3d.

the idea is simple, the practice difficult. trying to reach enlightenment through discussion and analysis doesn't work either. you just keep on going, doing the best you can, taking everything learned and applying it, and bit by bit the negativity falls away, and the unified experience happens more often.

that's what i've learned for myself, but always willing to learn about shortcuts, if they exist. for me agonizing over these issues is a distraction from the "work" that four letter word. i desperately want to experience forgiveness for myself and all those others i still have an emotional charge for, but know it's going to come when i realize there is nothing to forgive.
