orgiveness unifies one’s own awareness and will unite the consciousness of all humankind, which has been so long shattered into opposing egos, cultures, religions, and ideologies.
Forgiveness is the science of the heart: a discipline of discovering all the ways of being that extend your love to the world, and discarding all the ways that do not.
Forgiveness is a strong steady rain washing away the drought.
~ D. Patrick Miller from: A Little book Of Forgiveness
Book O’ the Week
A little Book of Forgiveness by: D. Patrick Miller
This profound little book explains how to forgive but more importantly, why to forgive.
‘It helped me go to a deeper level on my own path of forgiveness. It’s a wonderful book.’
~Louise L. Hay

Dear Hearts
We usually think of forgiveness as a personal process involving forgiveness of people and things from our past that we feel have wronged us or caused us harm. All too often we are unwilling to forgive because we are still angry at the person or event; we even go so far as to build monuments to memorialize things that hurt us.
Fear begets anger, and anger begets hate, hate begets pain, pain begets suffering, etc, etc, etc. On the personal level all this begetting of fear based belief systems can and do rob us of our sense of safety, joy, happiness, prosperity and even our health. On a global level it threatens all life as we know it.
Imagine for a moment what life would be like if everyone on the planet forgave everyone else. All governments forgive all governments, all religions forgive all religions, all children forgive all parents, all parents forgive all children, all victims forgive all perpetrators, etc. Why, it would be so peaceful and quiet around the planet that the news media wouldn’t know what to do with itself. I believe that with that kind of calm prevailing all over the planet even the weather patterns would settle down.
Can it happen? You bet it can! It all starts right here and now with you and me. We can make a commitment to forgive someone or some thing this week and begin to heal the world, one forgiveness at a time.
‘Imagine all the people living life in peace.’ ~John Lennon
Make it a great week, it is within your power.
