People are always begging for forgiveness, or they pray that “God will forgive them” or they think forgiveness is some kind of great virtue and create massive amounts of misery and guilt for themselves & others – because they just can’t forgive their mother, their neighbor, their own transgressions, their thoughts, their feelings, their actions and everything else they think was done wrong!!

So let’s take another look at this CONCEPT called forgiveness. It is more religious hype, not true SPIRITUALITY that has gotten you stuck here and frankly it’s an old concept with very few redeeming qualities. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO FORGIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS? You do, and then what happens? Someone does something to you or you hurt someone again, and WHAM! You’re right back where you started having to “TRY” and forgive yourself and other’s again and again and again. You never seem to get off the Forgiveness Train and you demand forgiveness from others too!

Forgiveness “assumes” that the other person or you screwed up and did something “terribly wrong’ and God/Jesus/Buddha needs to forgive you. FIRST OF ALL-God/Jesus/Buddha are your Nature – and you, my darlings are NOT THE DOER, so WHO do you think screwed up and WHO do you think needs forgiveness?

ALL your “humble manipulations” to “be good” (say and do the right thing, get to heaven or get enlightened) are fruitless in the face of WHO YOU ARE and WHAT IS. It’s ok to say you’re sorry and give and accept an apology. Great! Then let it go and ACCEPT the transgression for what is was. A HAPPENING IN CONSCIOUSNESS. You could say, God/Jesus/IT screwed up and then FORGAVE ITSELF…OK?

Your job is not to forgive or be forgiven – Your job is to ACCEPT (we change what we can and we…you know the saying). You could say we are ALL FAMILY (the birds the bees the monkey and man) – and we are all part of this magnificent creation and HAPPENING…and we accept ourselves, the world and all it’s JOY and MISERY exactly the WAY IT IS! That way you don’t have to get stuck in Forgiveness and you won’t be asking or demanding everyone else to get stuck in forgiveness. ACCEPT and BE— HAPPY! Finally.

And of course I LOVE YOU – your friend, Dvorahji
