− | The Beloved One: “This lesson needs to follow [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=A_Lesson_on_Forgiveness-2005-01-25 the earlier one] on [[forgiveness]], because forgiveness is not complete without forgetting the issue that troubled you in the first place and made you upset or [[angry]]. Yes, I do [[realize]] that the [[memories]] of [[perceived]] wrongs done to you can be [[difficult]] to forget when the after-[[effects]] still roll on to serve as a daily reminder, and yet this is the part where the lesson is the hardest, but is learned more completely. How else would you learn [[compassion]] if it were not through bitter [[experiences]]? Many people [[learn]] through their [[personal]] [[understanding]] of certain situations, but I ask you to let [[heaven]]’s [[light]] shine on the areas which are beyond your understanding. | + | The Beloved One: “This lesson needs to follow [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=A_Lesson_on_Forgiveness-2005-01-25 the earlier one] on [[forgiveness]], because forgiveness is not complete without forgetting the issue that troubled you in the first place and made you upset or [[angry]].

| “Since you asked for My help, are you now prepared to [[listen]], and not let your comments intrude? Very well then, let Me try to explain, because I need to come down to your level of [[reasoning]] so you will be able to [[understand]]. First of all, do not ‘lean on your personal understanding’ of matters that baffle you, as [[perceptions]] can be very wrong indeed. Be very slow to make [[judgments]] of the other person in any way, because this will also [[color]] your perception. Moreover, do not rely upon the understanding of another [[mortal]], but search always for [[truth]] in any matter. Truth is to be found in all persons, as all have part of truth within them, depending on the level of understanding at which they operate. | | “Since you asked for My help, are you now prepared to [[listen]], and not let your comments intrude?

| “Everyone has their personal [[Degree|level]] of [[understanding]], and if one lacks the [[capacity]] to understand, any blame of wrong-doing will fall on deaf ears. Others may become bewildered by an outburst from you, caused by your not having finished your [[work]] of forgiveness. Forgetting is the inseparable twin of forgiveness. You may well think a certain matter is closed, but when you once more get upset by something [[connected]] with that very issue you [[thought]] to have forgotten, it is not closed. If it rears its ugly head, and [[feelings]] of [[grief]] again wash over you, you will find that feelings which are merely swallowed never die. It takes a [[sincere]] call for My help to allow you to see the [[truth]] in any difficult situation, providing you give Me adequate [[time]] for [[feed-back]]. | | “Everyone has their personal [[Degree|level]] of [[understanding]], and if one lacks the [[capacity]] to understand, any blame of wrong-doing will fall on deaf ears.

− | “There are situations which can only be resolved when [[humans]] reach a higher level of understanding, for that is an ongoing part of gaining [[insight]] and [[wisdom]], which are only to be had by walking through these [[experiences]]. Once you gain the much-needed insight that people are on [[different]] levels of understanding, you will more easily be able to forgive, like your Master [[Jesus]] did when He was [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_187 being nailed to the cross], saying, ‘Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ You see, He understood [[mortal]]s so thoroughly, and had gained so much [[wisdom]] in understanding [[human]] [[nature]], that He, in His great sorrow and [[pain]], could only feel a great pity for them. How different this [[planet]] would be if people had already then put the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Topical_Index-The_Teachings_of_Jesus teachings of Jesus] into earnest [[practice]], rather than building a [[confusion]] of [[religions]] around Him. Do inform yourself of His sayings, and follow His example on [[forgiveness]]. Your burdens will fall more easily from your shoulders, and your [[soul]] will [[rejoice]] when the [[poison]] of long held grievances disappear.” | + | “There are situations which can only be resolved when [[humans]] reach a higher level of understanding, for that is an ongoing part of gaining [[insight]] and [[wisdom]], which are only to be had by walking through these [[experiences]].
