Episode 134 ~The Spirit of Forgiveness
Show Notes

Often we think of forgiveness as forgiving the others for crimes foisted upon and actions against us…the greater part of forgiveness lies in forgiving ourselves. For every situation of angst, hurt, betrayal, or violence is created by an invisible web of cause and effect………that likely goes back as far into the obnubilate past. Somewhere in the vast ancestral history we go back to fight battles, reconcile mistakes, or simply to become more human in our process. After all, whatever the story, is this not what challenges are about? 

In Sanskrit the word for "forgiveness" is Kshama . It has many layers of unfolding. Kshama means forbearance and forgiveness, and can refer to the capacity to forgive others and forget the past. It relates to releasing time, and being attentive to the unsettling emotional process.

Kshama implies that to forgive, truly forgive we must  travel to the extremity of patience ~ biding bitter time in the ever slow process of endurance, allowing time to reset our mind while the heart settles. Grief always precedes forgiveness. It is necessary to allow grief to take its course. When we race to the ideological behavior of “forgiving" the abuser, the tormentor, the vile and ugly anthropogenic actions, before we are organically ready to do so  we are, in fact, putting our own natural healing process on hold; doing what we feel  we should do; being generous with our emotions. But this always backfires, because we get angrier from recognizing that the ugly monster rears its head again, and again.
