DAY 46
God Presence is Pure, Radiant Love and it is through and in this Love in which I forgive myself, others, and all things that appear to happen in this projected earth exile dream movie, dissolving all karma, fear, mental affliction, and guilt.
The individual egoic-ahamkar mind would have me believe that I have a reason to feel guilty, ashamed and to in turn punish myself. This individual mind likes to condemn and projects the same idea onto God Presence. But this Divinity Source does not condemn and therefore does not in Reality, have a cause to forgive. Condemnation creates the need for forgiveness in the projected world I find myself in, because of the existence of illusions. All who engage in forgiveness break the shackles of illusions and duality’s delusion-hypnosis-spell, but those who do not forgive remain enchained to them. When I don’t forgive the illusions of the world, I am in prison.
Even though God Presence has no use for forgiveness, the Pure, Radiant Love of the Divine is the foundation of forgiveness. In the words of Jeshua (Jesus) “fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God.” On the basis of this forgiveness can be said to bring moksha-liberation in this life. It dissolves the karma attached to illusions.
For today’s chanting, three five-minute sittings are necessary to instill and integrate the idea to center on, in addition to several shorter moments of centering. In the longer sittings, close your eyes and scan the mind to find people whom you have yet to forgive, especially those you may not like. Mention each one by name, in this way:
“God Presence is Pure, Radiant Love and it is through and in this Love in which I forgive you, {name}.”
The purpose of this first aspect to today’s lesson is to enable you to forgive yourself. After you have applied the above statement to those you called to mind and mentioned by name, say:
“God Presence is Pure, Radiant Love and it is through and in this Love in which I forgive myself.”
The rest of the time spent sitting, or consciously resting with today’s idea, add similar statements:
“God Presence is Pure, Radiant Love and it is through and in this Love which I love myself. God Presence is the very Love that blesses and consecrates me.”
You may also say:
“Neurotic guilt cannot consume me, because I am a beloved Son/Daughter of God.”
“Forgiveness has already been accomplished.”
“Fear cannot survive in a mind that is a Pure Expression of God Life.”
“I have no need to verbally, physically, or mentally assault anyone or anything because Love has forgiven me.”
End your sitting by saying today’s main mantra.
If you find yourself still harboring hostile thoughts towards anyone, conclude by saying:
“God Presence is Pure, Radiant Love and it is through and in this Love in which I forgive you.”
Love is the only real answer to any problem stemming from unforgiveness because only love is real. I must forgive because I freely and willfully want to share forgiveness. It cannot be forced upon me. However, the Eternal Love of God Presence can inspire me to give this gift to all and to the world itself. Fear based forgiveness comes from negative vibratory energy. Love based forgiveness comes from a much higher calibration and has a much larger ripple effect on the entire Son/Daughtership of God. Once I forgive myself, real, truly, and honestly, I can do the blessed work of extending forgiveness to all. My goal is to totally release all grievances I am holding onto, that darken my mind and cloud True Seeing and Being.
