Transforming Intellectual Knowledge into True Knowing
Even though we may “know” on an intellectual level that we are perfect, whole, and complete, do we truly believe it?
Jennifer Hadley asked this question in one of her daily emails. Most of us experience deep emotional doubts, even while learning spiritual truths intellectually. Turning knowledge into knowing, however, requires forgiveness work.
The reason we doubt is that we carry massive guilt in our subconscious minds.

Jennifer Hadley asked this question in one of her daily emails. Most of us experience deep emotional doubts, even while learning spiritual truths intellectually. Turning knowledge into knowing, however, requires forgiveness work.
The reason we doubt is that we carry massive guilt in our subconscious minds.
Each time we forgive, the Holy Spirit enters our subconscious and removes a little of that guilt. Over time, as we forgive repeatedly, our storehouse of guilt—the source of much suffering on Earth—diminishes.
This is why I look forward to opportunities to forgive. Even though life’s “classroom” may bring painful experiences, when I forgive and truly accept my world, I am offered peace instead.
Forgiveness is the bridge that transforms doubt and fear into love.
