The Way of Mastery ~ Lesson 3 ~ The Power of Forgiveness
Jan Waldhoff
Hi All
Wow the holidays are moving up fast! I feel I am creating the idea, that energy by feeling the need to accomplish more and more to keep up? Wow! Guess what I have a choice! I can forgive myself for not accomplishing all that the world feels I "need" to do.
I can resort to Prayer, Meditation and Silence, and Studies, through vigilance. Making the choice, start feeling the power that is within myself; giving me direction, suggestions, thoughts, ideas or meeting someone synchronistically at the right time and the right place. All because I have started to observe myself, allowing what is happening in a “neutral” way and knowing the reaction is mine. Then taking the studies (TWOM) I learn and walking the talk. Having vigilance, making the choice. That’s where it starts, making the choice for myself. I make all my choices. Knowing that Life can be exciting! To be open to what life brings you and choosing the reaction through Forgiveness and Love.
We will meet up in the entrance up stairs again this 12.5.12 week. Please come up stairs we will be there to greet you!
Lesson 3: The Power of Forgiveness
The Power of Forgiveness
· Page 25: To forgive means to choose to release another from the perceptions you have been projecting upon them. It is therefore, an act of forgiving one’s self of projections.
· Page 26: When you judge, you have moved out of alignment with what is true. You have decreed that the innocent are not innocent. And if you would judge another as being without innocence, you have already declared that this is true about you! Therefore, to practice forgiveness actually cultivates the quality of consciousness in which you finally come to forgive yourself. And it is indeed that forgiven who remember their God.
Forgiveness, The Bridge to the Soul of Your Brother and Sister
· Page 28: What is projection? Projection occurs when there has first been denial within yourself. Projection is an act in which you psychically try to throw out your ownership everything that you have judged as being despicable or unworthy of you - something you do not want. So you will project it. You will throw it up and out and let it land on whomever happens to be nearby. It is denial of the truth that Projection is the effect of the denial of the first axiom:
Nothing you experience has been caused by anything outside of you
Awakening Requires Vigilance and Discipline
· Page 30: You are literally creating everything you choose and nothing is forced upon you
· Page 33: Judgment is contraction. Judgment causes the very cellular structure to breakdown. If you could see this you would never judge again. When you judge, even the cells of your body go crazy. They vibrate in a completely dissonant way, this is contraction.
How Forgiveness Heals
· Page 33: Forgiveness is relaxation, peace, trust and faith.
Reactivity Indicates the Need for Self Forgiveness
· Page 38: Forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is a skill and an art that will pay you dividend upon dividend upon dividend. It will never cease in paying you. Each moment, in which you choose Forgiveness, you have literally saved yourself a thousand years of suffering!
Healing Exercise
I forgive me for being critical.
I forgive my judgment of myself.
I choose to teach only Love.
