Why is Forgiveness
so Important ?
When we truly forgive, I mean really forgive, not begrudgingly forgive, but really and sincerely Forgive - we see what happened to us from a higher perspective. It's called "reframing", but it is actually rewriting the events in our past.
And rewriting the
events of our Lives is rewriting our Lives - actually, not metaphorically.
Rewriting an event from a higher, more liberal perspective changes our Life
story - which is an organic, living Being that is "fractally"
mirrored in all Living Beings and all Life stories.
When we rewrite the
events that happened to us from a higher perspective of forgiveness and
understanding (in Hebrew word to understand [LeHavin] is also the root to bear
offspring), we heal a Life story that had a defect and make it whole and well.
In Hebrew to Create and to make well are the same root - B-R-A. To understand
an event higher is to take what was a miscarried idea that came into existence,
make it well and, in so doing, recreate it on a higher level.
All of the painful
events in our lives are living beings that were viable enough to come into
existence, but are not healthy enough to sustain Life and support the entire
ecosystem. So, they languished and they festered and some died.
Those who ruminate
gloomily on the past without forgiving are, quite literally, mourning
miscarriages and picking in festering wounds. They return forlornly to
graveyards. While this is understandable for the grief-stricken, it would be
much better if they knew that they have the power to bring those miscarriages
back to life, whole and healthy, and give them a renewed Spirit.
Forgiveness is
Resurrection and all of the mystical-sounding stories about miraculous healing
are naught but Forgiveness.
