Part of forgiveness is forgiving others. The further part is

forgiving all the situations which created this pattern. Some of you are

more aware of past lives than others, and for those of you who trace the

pattern that is unhelpful to what you would call the karma of a past life,

know that there is no karma or inertia which is not braked completely

and stopped forever by unconditional forgiveness, of the other, of the

The Law of Life:

Whatever you give away today or think or say or do

Will multiply about tenfold and then return to you.

It may not come immediately nor from the obvious source,

But the Law applies unfailingly through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion,

Will surely bounce right back to you in some clear or secret fashion.

If you speak about some person, a word of praise or two.

I feel like a baby here on this forum with all the adults around me. Wow why has it taken 45 years to pursue this path??  I have pursued other paths such as 12 step programs, I went to church for awhile, all the while feeling like an outsider and never could understand why??  People eventually just think I am weird, or not conforming to their expectations!  I don't know how to play the game!  I guess this is how I have become so reclusive, I want to be apart of the human race but I fear the rejection again! 

I believe the reason that I have become so reclusive is that I have been so hurt by other people because I don't conform to their expectations! In church, in programs, at work!  I have chosen a profession based on that!  I have been insulted, labeled, ostracized, stabbed in the back!  It must be karmic and now I feel I have the tools to break free!

As a child I always believed that love was the greatest power there was.

It was a traumatic experience for me, growing up. There was so much

hate in this world. I found very often that I did not understand what

ted of me in various situations, and I spent a lot of time

researching culture, etiquette and psychology. Like so many other

wanderers, it took me a long time to realize that you cannot trust

My son and his father are on their way to Vegas and both of them in the car for a long road trip would usually end up in a fight!  My ex-husband is still using drugs occaisionally and I advised my son if he feels unsafe in the car with his dad and if he thinks he is high to tell his dad that he will not go with him to Vegas! 

Anyway I texted him to see how it was going and he said that "he is being positive".  Wow...that might not seem like a big deal to most people but this is huge for my son!  He also told me that he cried in front of his gf.  I think my son is coming around!  I hope so! 

I just read that we are not to interfere with a catalyst but how do you let you child go when there is a possibility of them getting into a car accident because the father is using drugs???

I am still a mother, I remind him to put on his jacket, do his homework, mom stuff...
