Forgiveness: What about it?

[Nicholas]

Is there such a thing as 'blind' forgiveness?  Does it depend on your perspective, your perception of reality?

Yes in my view. Some people blindly follow beliefs that they were conditioned into and the fear invoked by the thought of questioning them, overcomes their intuitive suspicion of said beliefs.

Take for example what is going on in the world at this moment. The 1% of STS are purposely poisoning the air,food we breathe/eat. They stir up strife all over the world with a mindset of 'divide and conquer' and the list can go on and on. Their Agenda is known by now. How would you react if I said, 'forgive them'. Would you think it is important to do so or not?

No. Rather I would question your motives. I do not think it is important to moralise or judge their actions. I do think it is important to understand how we unwittingly aid them. Forgiveness to me is the conscious recognition that we do not know the full picture.

Do you think 'forgiveness' would be helpful or wasted in the situation as it stands in this present moment in history/time.

It is helpful, as long as it is not driven by enculturated beliefs. Action is necessary, conscious action that is.

 I would like to explore the qualities of 'forgiveness' applicable to the World situation as we know it. There must be a way to be at peace without condoning the  questionable behaviours of the 1%.

 

Yes! It is the undervalued state of mind that is temporarily stateless. It is illogical, pointless, and so therefore remains largely undiscovered.

I know the answer lies in higher consciousness but it doesn't solve the problems created by lower conscious states.   Is there any reconciliation possible between the two?

 

The emphasis on time has always niggled me (a personal issue). We have been conditioned into believing that there is something to fix. The mere contemplation that everything is as it should be can help to balance this fixation imo.

 The only way possible begins with accountability! 

The only way I can encourage others to claim that sense of responsibility is to accept them, to recognise that their behaviour does not truly represent who they are, and attempt to inspire their inherent identity. It is such an important issue right now to accept the impulsive behaviours that contribute to the issues you are pointing out. Placing my attention on this behaviour merely adds to the clapping audience that applauds it. We all need mental space, but we are creating unhelpful traffic in our collective unconscious by issuing a sense of applause, contempt and urgency. Accountability is the natural by product of a transparent and love based community. It begins in our own minds, moment by moment, day by day. That is the best we can do, and one spark of awareness can fire-up another, through the process I am trying to to exemplify.
