Thought Adjuster: “You can only truly [[forgive]] others when you have learned to love them as you [[love]] yourself. True forgiveness is possible, but only when you can ‘walk in their shoes’ to consider other people’s [[motivation]] and reasons. This is the kind of forgiveness that truly removes the damage a person considers to have [[received]] through his or her [[experience]], by opening the [[heart]] to [[accept]] the love of [[the Father]].
“When you say you forgive without really [[feeling]] it, the [[grudges]] remain with you. The [[idea]] that you were right and that your [[siblings]] were wrong will still [[persist]] with you. Only when you take the time to consider the [[intent]] of others you can [[understand]] that maybe there was a perfectly valid reason why the other person acted in such a way that made you [[feel]] bad.
“Even when you are certain that somebody [[hurt]] you on purpose you should still consider the reasons behind that [[attack]]. What is that person afraid of? How could you affect her in such a way that she had to [[defend]] herself that way? Most of the time you will [[discover]] that you are partly to [[blame]] for what happened and learn from this higher understanding in order to improve your [[relationships]] with others.
“In the case of those who simply hurt others without apparent reason or [[motive]], just remember that everything in this life has a reason. You can’t [[judge]] your siblings without having lived their lives and felt their [[suffering]]. There are a lot of [[confused]] people languishing in the [[dark]]. It would be more beneficial for you and others to [[forget]] your grudges and become the [[light]] that shows them the way out of their [[labyrinth]] of [[selfishness]] and [[fear]] and bring them to the [[threshold]] of the [[Kingdom of God]], and then let then [[decide]] if they want to enter or not.
“On those occasions when you face the mistakes of your [[past]] and [[remember]] those times in which you have been the one who has hurt others, do [[everything]] you can to mend those wounds. Any price you have to pay for this will be an [[investment]] that will [[transform]] into [[freedom]] and spiritual treasures for your [[eternal]] life. Forgive yourself without reservation because [[your Father]] has already forgiven you. Start living like a true [[child of God]], [[aspiring]] to the highest righteousness and the true freedom that the perfected creatures of our Creator experience. Your reward in this life will be real and lasting [[peace]], independent of your situation. Your reward in eternity will be a life discovering the [[secrets]] of [[the universes]] and participating in the enterprise of [[manifesting]] the divine will in Creation.
“When you [[sincerely]] forgive those you perceive as somebody who has hurt you, you are [[accepting]] that they have a [[soul]] as well, capable of making [[mistakes]] and being hurt just like yourself. It is then when you start to consider others with the same regard you consider yourself and this is one pre-requisite for real [[love]]. This is more meaningful because those who have hurt you are not included in your list of ‘people you love’ — friends, family, and others — but when you consider them at the same level you consider yourself, you are putting them back on your list and you stop being a respecter of persons — a prelude to unconditional love.
===Closing===
“Would it be possible for you to include all [[human being]]s in [[this world]] on your list of people you love, as those to whom you offer your [[trust]], your [[friendship]] and your [[affection]]? In [[truth]] I tell you that if you have already done this with those whom you once considered [[estranged]] from you because of the [[lack]] of understanding of the [[past]], then you would have rid yourself of a heavy load and you would have started to enjoy the true [[freedom]] of the [[children of God]].”
