“Forgiving doesn't mean condoning the [bad behavior]. Forgiving means acknowledging that the [bad behavior] came out of conditions, present life and karmic, and not to take it so personally; to have compassion for the whole situation; and also, eventually, to learn how to say no to [bad behavior] in an appropriate way.”

I consecrate this pain to increasing the light. I hold this pain in the light of my heart and offer the love in my heart out for the highest good of all beings. Barbara Brodsky channeling Mary Magdalene Sept. 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrTapQWKErs

This is what I taught Barbara 25 years ago. The deafness is just deafness. The stories about it are what bring the suffering. And then the effort becomes skewed, because the effort becomes contracted, to fix the pain in the arm, to fix the deafness. To fix the neighbor who talks to you with anger over the back fence. To fix the boss, or the situation with the boss where there's friction. Can you feel that tension? You can't just ignore it. And you don't have to fix it. Can you hold the whole situation with loving kindness? This is where we run amok of the mammalian reflex that says fight or flight. But you are humans, and hold a much higher consciousness. Yes, you're mammals, but you're evolving in consciousness into a much higher consciousness than that very primitive fight or flight reflex. Are you going to get caught in those old patterns yet again, or are you ready to step beyond those old patterns? www.deepspring.org

But it's not the ego that says no, it's love that says no. When fear says no, everything becomes contracted. Do you then turn and run? Do you allow them to hurt you? It's not compassionate to let people bulldoze over you. It is bad karma for you, bad karma for them.

Skillful living, living with loving kindness, means learning to relate to what comes to you with spaciousness and presence, not shrinking from it, not being afraid to say no when appropriate. www.deepspring.org

You came here with a purpose, with intentions. You came here not because it was going to be safe but because it was vital for yourself and all other beings.

The process of forgiveness is far more important to the giver than the actual extension of forgiveness...
