Forgiveness: A Change Of Heart
Believe it or not, forgiveness is a choice. It is an easy choice when you understand its true capacity, and the relevance of this absolution can be a sensitive subject.
I understand myself fairly well. If you would have asked me about forgiveness 30 years ago, I can honestly say I would have reacted egoistically. I would use the phrases “Tit for tat,” “What goes around comes around,” and “They deserve what they get.” My choice in behavior was self-righteous. My false sense of control served me because I was so busy guarding my heart. What I was actually doing was compounding my choices of fear, which is what perpetuated that fear, day after day. I thank God and angels for humbling me.
Un-forgivingness: What purpose does it serve? Un-forgiveness allows us to believe that “As long as I choose not to forgive person, I do not have to action/agenda.”
Example: “As long as I choose not to forgive Sally, I do not have to be nice to her, respect her, invite her for the holidays, acknowledge her pleasant personality, hold myself accountable, or accept her apologies.” I can make her feel guilty. I can hold power over her. I can remain a victim and remain in fear.
These choices serve the ego. The imminent result is death in spirit.
Reaction vs. Response: In other words, ego versus love. I am not trying to give ego a bad name, it has its place and serves its purpose. The ego is an excellent point of discernment, though a low vibration of energy. Free will allows us to choose and experience our journey. There is no good or bad here. Forgiveness is an energy and frequency of love, so the question is, “What energy do I choose to embrace? What vibration do I want my mind, body, and spirit to experience?” These decisions are made every minute in our lives. What thoughts (energy) am I choosing to experience? You can always change your mind immediately. When you become more aware of the results based on your choice of thoughts, you can then quickly align them to your desired consciousness.
Archangel Chamuel and Archangel Michael are my choice for aiding and guiding me in forgiveness. Why? Chamuel’s specialty is in matters of the heart, communication, and relationships. Michael’s specialty is truth, communication, and integrity. Please choose an angel that you would like and feel comfortable with. I do hold myself responsible for my actions when they are not in alignment with God and I will resolve and heal the situation as necessary. When someone is not embracing and honoring me, I now know immediately when it stems from their fear. I ask myself, “What do I want to experience out of this situation?” I want to experience happiness and peace. Keeping that in mind, I will question and discuss why they did what they did and said what they said. Knowing that they are fearful, it most likely will not sound caring, respectful, or logical. I will not allow myself to be pulled into their drama. I will then clarify honestly if any part is in truth. If not, I will firmly and graciously say, “I choose not to participate in your fear.” At that moment I have been forgiven because I love as a Divine Being. I do not give my personal power away, nor subject myself to attack any longer. If the person decides to leave the relationship, I release in love and light.
Dearest Archangel Chamuel and Archangel Michael,
I ask for your guidance and direction as how to heal this situation with person. Help me to see the Divine light within our hearts. I desire to understand and forgive, with a peaceful resolution for everyone involved. I am in gratitude for your love. Amen.
