Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 >Aloha and Sat Nam Lillian, I understand the forgiveness issue. Actually you probably do NOT understand the issue behind valid " forgiveness " , but you, like all of us have been faced with situations that others say we should forgive. So, as you state below, there is also " shame " involved, where there should be NO shame. Shame is a different process (but simple to deal with also), so I won't go into it here. At least at this time I won't. > Boy oh boy, do I. One thing that persistently galls me is the >issue of repentance, (as in, if they >aren't repentant, why should >I forgive them). After all, the whole point is to make them somehow >GET IT (whatever IT is), right? Actually you are missing something very important. Here it is. Forgiveness is NOT for them, but for YOU, regardless of whether it is forgiving someone else or a form of self-forgiveness. When I'm talking about YOU I'm referring to the KAHUNA MIND " you " . Okay? AND the actual " Kahuna Mind Training skill " of forgiveness only takes a couple of minutes, AFTER one thing is done. And you are talking about that one thing. The one thing is, " dealing with the internal OBJECTIONS you have about going ahead with the forgiveness process " . These objections most often have to do with wanting PROTECTION against the EXPECTED consequences of forgiveness. Here are 8 different common objections (there are more;-) for you to look at. Please notice that NONE OF the following objections have anything to do with God, or the Aumakua, or the " blessings " of anyone, at least NOT in the normal, common definitions of those words. (In fact when you abdicate your CONTROL to other " things " outside of yourself you are committing one of the BIGGEST SINS in Huna. What is that sin? That sin is NOT living at " cause " .) 1. If I forgave him/her, he/she could hurt me again. 2. If I forgave him/her, that means I'm a wimp. 3. If I forgave him/her, that means I condone what he/she did. 4. You think the other person doesn't deserve forgiveness. 5. You think you need to get even first. 6. Anger makes me powerful, and I don't want to give it up. 7. I refuse to forgive and forget. 8. If I forgave him, then she'd/he'd think that what he/she did didn't matter and he/she could feel comfortable doing it again. Notice that your following statement falls into the above categories very well. End of Part 1. Sincerely, >I admit it. I want them to be abjectly sorry and feel shame and >torment for making me suffer so. I >want them to be reduced to >tears as they clearly see the consequences of what they did. What >is odd is that, when I started praying for them, even though I >didn't feel like it, they began to move towards me in a safe >context. I do not feel that I have to let them in, (if they are >still wolves at the door, so to speak), but I AM able to >increasingly release my need to judge them, and, as I do that, I am >increasingly able to feel comfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
