Fulfilling The Law Of Forgiveness

The true key of our freedom lies in forgiveness and we forgive not for the other person’s sake, but for your own. Can you think of a single spiritual teacher that has not made this point? Without forgiveness no real spiritual progress can ever be made. When we fail to embrace forgiveness we lock ourselves into a circular route that inevitably leads back to the same difficulties clothed in different garb, again and again. Living on the Spiritual Basis requires forgiving not only in word and deed, but in our heart, breaking the cycle, but how?

When we hold onto an old hurt, justifying the feeling for any reason, we chose to stand outside the sunlight of the Spirit, placing ourselves in the shadow of resentment and fear. By embracing justified anger our thinking becomes stale, stagnant and unhealthy; by throwing open our heart to forgiveness we are rejuvenated. The course here is clear; when negative thoughts appear in our consciousness we immediately treat them with prayer asking to be shown how we can be of service to the person we are seeking to forgive. Becoming willing in Spirit sets us free. To be very clear, God will never place us in a position to be harmed if we are about His business, so forgive free of  the fear of being spiritually harmed further. By taking the contrary action to what the World and our carnal mind would have us do, we raise our consciousness and stand in the sunlight of the Spirit, clean, rejuvenated and free, the Law of Forgiveness fulfilled.

Spiritual Maturity

Sometime back I attended a “concert” performed by second graders. They were less than perfect in their performance but performed exactly as second graders should. Had they been High School students their instructor’s competence would need to be questioned and rightfully so. We would never expect a group of seven year old students to perform at the level of students more than twice their age.

The truth is we always demonstrate where we are. So if new to the path of Spiritual Living never fret or attempt to demonstrate beyond your current understanding, for just as second graders grow into High School students, we mature Spiritually as well. So continue on, day by day, practicing the spiritual principles you understand, trusting that your spiritual growth is assured as long as you remain diligent and willing to grow, for in so doing we begin to comprehend serenity and will know peace in purpose regardless of where we are in our long spiritual education.
