Studying Forgiveness

[Sacred Fool]

Forgiveness will be very easy to perform once one understand that the one who forgive and the one who is being forgiven is actually the same 'self'.
Forgiveness will not even be required when one gain full understanding of every-things, as such that even blaming does not even exist.

Will you blame your own hands? your own legs? your own lungs? any parts of your own body?
When you never even blame any of them, forgiveness to any of them is not even required.

Understanding will cause the disappearance of both the need to blame and to forgive.

That would be true if we had no unconscious self, but for some of us, we suffer immensely, not because we consciously blame ourselves, but because these feelings can become embedded at nearly every level of consciousness.

I have found this one of the most insidious distortions to face up to because unforgiveness is a kind of anti-love which can become immensely powerful.  Just look at the unfortunates who hold simultaneous strong feelings of unity and separation, and cannot move forward because on various unconscious levels the are locked in with self-hatred in one form or another.  Trust me, dude, it is in no way simple.  It's layer upon complex layer.....if, in fact, you chose such lessons for yourself.

The positive side is that, if you can walk through such a stressful hall of mirrors, you come out with a more deeply articulated conscious awareness.
