Get on the Forgiveness Gravy Train

Forgiveness changes your life.  If you want to stop living a nightmare and move your life into the "happy dream" life the Course of Miracles promises, only forgiveness can get you there. 

Some ways a steady habit of forgiveness will change your life:

Your life begins to feel lighter, easier, more pleasurable.  This brings you happiness.

The people you've forgiven change and actually become less annoying.  The more you forgive them, the more they change.  This brings you peace.

Life eases up.  Nightmarish things occur less often or not at all.  This brings you security. 

You begin to feel powerful in the role you play in healing the world around you. This brings you joy.

As your forgiveness work accumulates, you find that you are actually forgiving yourself on a deep subconscious level.  You allow yourself to accept God's gifts because you actually believe you deserve them now.  This brings you abundance.

The more you forgive yourself, the more you see the false self and the false world you've created.  This brings you truth. 

As you  begin to see your false self you begin to really see the insane lies you've been telling yourself and the insane things you've been doing, and you develop humility.  This brings you dignity.

Life slows down.  You take more time with what's important.  You know the difference between crazy ego schemes and the simple truth of God's love. You see the "real world" all around you.  This brings you beauty. 

You see your brother in every person you encounter.  This brings you love. 

Forgiveness will bring you everything you truly want!

When Abundance Affirmations Don't Work...

Have you tried any of the popular New Thought practices about abundance only to have the same old problems and lack showing up repeatedly in your life?  Perhaps you've been told that you need to add "believing" or "faith" to thoughts of abundance in order to manifest them.  Have you tried this too, and again experienced little change in your circumstances? 

Why won't it work for you???

The reason why is that down deep in the darkest corners of your mind, you really don't believe you deserve abundance. 

We all have so much sub-conscious guilt built up from a life-time of what we believe to be our "sins".  (And, in fact, if you believe in reincarnation, just imagine how much guilt you might have from dozens and dozens of lifetimes of "sins".)  But beyond our belief that we are bad because of the "sins" we've committed, the whopper of all our guilt-producing acts is our original choice to separate from God. 

How do we reduce this monumental vat of guilt so that we can believe ourselves worthy of living happy lives?  How do we get back to God and live in peace and abundance?  We do it through our forgiveness, of course. 

Start to forgive the world around you and watch your life become rich.  A Course in Miracles calls this the "happy dream" life and it is something that each and every one of us is capable of achieving with a steady habit of forgiveness.  It doesn't happen over-night, but abundance will come to you, peace will come to you, love will come to you. 

When you learn to forgive the people and events that cause pain and anger in your life you will begin to forgive yourself. It's a universal law--you get what you give.  When you give forgiveness, you get forgiveness.   Months and years of forgiving others will ultimately lead to self-forgiveness.  And when you forgive yourself and release your guilt, you will begin to see that you really do deserve to live with all of God's gifts, including abundance.

It's a simple choice...do you want fear or love?  Fear creates lack and love creates abundance.  Which will you choose?

Abundance Affirmations--Pair them With Forgiveness

Reverend Liz Luoma*, recommends the following affirmation:  "I am open to perceive and receive all the gifts God has for me today and everyday."  This is an excellent affirmation, but if you want to really see it work, pair it with the habit of forgiving everything. 

Another great affirmation which I use frequently is a simple meditation.  Breathe in and say "I accept".  Then breathe out and say "the love of God".**  Repeat this over and over.  I use this often before going to bed at night and find I sleep beautifully.  Again, this is another great tool, but if you want lasting happiness, forgive first and then meditate.  Make forgiveness a permanent part of your bedtime ritual and watch your life change.
