You probably have great understanding of what you did and why you did since you are talking about forgiving yourself, but I think it would be great if you could share your insights as to what led to your behavior.
Hiya xise,
I guess I would associate the acceptance part with the heart, and the understanding component wiith the action of the blue ray centre.
But I am also aware that I am filtering a lot of stuff through the energy centres these days, and so that as a framework, it might seem a bit forced without being able to fully see the exact construct I am working with (and the associated level of detail).
but back to understanding, and it's essential function in the process.
I fully agree that some level of comprehension and some sort of further digging below just 'acceptance' is required for full forgiveness and letting go.
I guess the essence of karmic action is that one gets to experience in some way what one has 'put out' there. So if one acts on violence, then violence might find a way to return to your experience, so that one can experience the other end of the stick if you will.
for me, the acceptance part is to acknowledge the other-self who is returning the karmic action to you, and not hold them as separate (blaming etc). The understanding part would in some way acknowledge the self-generated nature of the event; and that it was the self which set in motion the events through the original crystallising act.
understanding equates to responsibilily as well.

what led to my original behaviour though? ignorance, frustration, anger? a child's curiosity? but in the end, it was no excuse for the wanton destruction of life.
in a way, I don't consider the motivation as that important an issue (it is ultimately born of ignorance and confusion), but appreciating the consequence of the action (being deliberately unloving, separative) is the actual real feedback and catalyst I think.
do you have any thoughts on the forgiveness process xise? something that you haven't been able to fully forgive, despite earnest attempts to recontextualise and revisit?
(ps its very palpable when full forgiveness is achieved; the memory no longer comes unbidden to one when you are tired or vulnerable, and it loses it's sting).
