Each of
us is working on certain assignments in this lifetime. You will probably find that your most painful past memories will be oriented toward certain themes.
As an example of how this works, let’s suppose
you father died in a car crash during your childhood. If something like this has happened to you,
then abandonment could be one of your big issues. Look at your lifetime and see how many times
abandonment has been a major theme.
If
you believe that your father abandoned you, then your first wife may also
abandon you. Later, your best friend may
abandon you in some way. This theme
could be repeating itself over and over throughout your life.
The only way to end it is to deal with it for
once and for all. Go deep and strike it
out at the root with your forgiveness. Once
you do that, you probably won’t have to deal with it again. If you find that you do, it means that your forgiveness hasn’t really gone deep enough. Keep
probing to find what is buried down there that needs to see the light of your
forgiveness.
Forgiving and clearing through big life themes like this is the way to take large strides toward creating inner peace. Of course every day forgiveness of daily events is important, too. Forgiveness IS a lifestyle. But probing deep into your past to discover the important life lessons that have become themes in your mind is essential work. As you uncover and release these, you will begin to discover true happiness.
Forgiveness is a lot easier than you may think. If you're not sure how to forgive, there are many easy processes explained in depth in my book, "Forgiveness is the Key to Happiness":
