Comment on Are you being true? by Susan

I am in awe of the changes I am experiencing thus far. So much of what you say are things I too have felt, believed, spoken of. I believe that we as humans all want the same things, we just go about it the wrong way at times, and as a result we damage ourselves yet further.
I look forward to more ‘discovery’! Thanks JoAnne!

You are very right. And I have had my life turned upside down and inside out over the past 3 months. And now that I am seeing the light and the dust has settled I see how the Universe is guiding me and giving me all the strength I need to be who I truly am.

Thank you so much for posting your thoughts on this Dian. I love what you say about clearly defining forgiveness for yourself and accepting reality without judgment. These are great first steps to work with when dealing with such imprisoning/constrictive emotions. Thank you for that.

I also really love what you’re pointing to here: that self care/self love is the cornerstone of forgiveness. It really comes down to loving yourself through the process, during the process and after the process that then creates a huge emotional shift towards more expansive emotions. Your words have really added a bigger dimension to this posting. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts Dian.

You make a great point here, Joanne: feel the feelings. I think this is a huge factor in getting to a place of forgiveness. For me, I found that clearly defining forgiveness worked wonders. I had to come to a place of understanding that forgiving someone doesn’t mean “it’s okay, what you did to me”. For me, it means, “I am letting go of this anger and hurt because I no longer wish to carry this baggage.” Accepting reality without judgment was a key factor for me, as well.

It took me nearly 10 years to see that I hadn’t truly FELT the anger of being molested. Once I was able to feel that anger, to flush it and work through my process of [too many things to list here], forgiveness was nearly instantaneous. I learned to have compassion for the “wrong-doer” and release judgment, citing that his actions affected me, but it was in the past, and the only way for me to move forward is to let it go..to forgive. This doesn’t mean that I want to be best friends with the guy, but what happened is in the past and I’m happy to leave it there.

Thanks for sharing this post.
