Keeping Secrets & A Course in Miracles

Most people have a secret or two they are not revealing, or at least not revealing to certain individuals. Are you one of them? Maybe you are ashamed of something you did in the past. Perhaps you’re not sharing a belief or a habit that everyone doesn’t approve of. Whatever your secret is, it is common to want to keep it hidden away from other’s critical take on it.

A Course in Miracles might help you see secrets differently.

Here’s what it says…

1“The escape from darkness involves two stages: 2 First the recognition that darkness cannot hide. 3 Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide or even could.  This step brings escape from fear. 4 When you have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy.”

Let’s Break Each Sentence Down and Explain it…

1“The escape from darkness involves two stages:

1   To me, this means if we are ashamed of or think our secret is wrong, we will consider it as “darkness.”

 

2 First the recognition that darkness cannot hide.

2  We need to realize we cannot keep secrets. At some level everyone knows we are hiding something from them, whether they ask us about it  or not. A Course in Miracles emphasizes “minds are joined” and that “there are no private thoughts.” That explains telepathy and how some psychics are so accurate.

 

3 Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide or even could. This step brings escape from fear.

3  Deep down inside we don’t want to be ashamed of who we are, what we do, what we have done, or our beliefs.  The phrase in this passage, “or even could,” confirms “minds are joined.” Understanding this fact allows us to be free from fear.

 

4 When you have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy.”

 4 Here’s the kicker! When we, ourselves, no longer judge our own secret as wrong and something to be ashamed of, but instead as something to be shared and used to initiate closeness, we will accept the real meaning of peace and joy. If you show yourself compassion, others usually will too.

 

Whether you are A Course in Miracles student or not, the message here is to use your secret as a way to love yourself and make a deeper connection with others.

Free Will & Being Gay

Are you struggling with the possibility that you might be gay? Maybe you know you prefer the same sex, but have spent years doing everything humanly possible to change it.

Here’s where the concept of free will comes in. Most of us define it as the ability as separate individuals to make choices, as one wishes, without them being predestined by fate or divine will.

If free will is possible in this instance, wouldn’t there be more of us gays able to will or wish it away?

What if we stopped buying into the concept of free will altogether? Would that, in itself, end most of the gay shame, pain, and struggle to change what is?

A Course in Miracles states that,

“Every decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and out, and influencing a constellation larger than anything you have ever dreamed of.”

To me this means, instead of every individual going their own separate way and doing their own thing, that there is a Higher Power or God orchestrating a course of events so intertwined that it is beyond our comprehension. And that there is a Divine reason so many of us are now being born or turning gay—we just don’t know what it is yet.

Other passages say,

“What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?”

“And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born.”

And another states,

“You need to be reminded that you think a thousand choices are confronting you, when there is really only one to make. And even this but seems to be but a choice.”

To me that means, our only choice is whether we want to keep thinking we have free will, or to let God or the Higher Power show us how to be happy.

That last line goes even deeper. It only appears like we have a choice from one or the other. But, there is no opposite to choose from. Free will does not exist. There is only God or a Higher Power, and happiness to select.

What’s the Punishment for Not Telling the Truth?

Lying and misleading others has become an epidemic and almost normal.  Are the benefits of not telling the truth out weighing the possibility of getting caught and punished for it? What about exaggerations and white lies? Surely, they can’t hurt anyone, right? But, do we ever completely escape the consequences for not telling the truth?

Not Telling the Truth…

1   Causes fear of being found out. Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, every lie, no matter how small, puts us on guard. And they add up.

2   Lowers our self-esteem a notch every time we do it. How can we be a person we admire when we are afraid to acknowledge the truth?

3   Makes it difficult to have deep meaningful relationships. Close relationships are built on honesty, and disclosure.

4   Is a short-term fix. Not being honest eventually affects other parts of our life, such as our health, career, finances, relationships, and most of all, our ability to be happy.

5   Like attracts like. If we practice misleading others, we will find that others are misleading us.

Here’s the funny thing. There are ways to be honest that escape punishment altogether, give you more benefits than you can imagine, and don’t hurt anyone in anyway—including you.

Being Lonely & A Course in Miracles

Have you ever been so lonely, and felt so desperate, that you tried to grab someone, anyone to make you feel better? Have you noticed, even being in a romantic relationship, or in a room full of people, you can still feel just as lonely. What causes that miserable feeling to creep up on us like that, anyway?

I think at one time or another we have all run around trying to find a partner, family, friends or even strangers to rescue us from this horrible, isolated feeling.

Here’s the zinger! A Course in Miracles states,

“Only what you have not given can be lacking in any situation.”

What does that mean? Could we be seeking for the love that we already have, but are not giving? This reminds me of the song “You Get What You Give.” So, if we want to feel connected and loved, we need to extend love.

Other statements in A Course in Miracles that validate this point are…

“And every thought of love you offer him/her but brings you nearer to your awakening to peace eternal and to endless joy.”

Another is,

“Offer it and it will come to you, because it is drawn to itself.”

And yet another one,

“By giving you receive.”

That doesn’t mean we need to volunteer for a charity, buy gifts, or people please. It means all we need to do to extend love and stop our loneliness is to think loving thoughts about others. It’s that simple.

Coming Out & A Course in Miracles

Maybe you have just become aware you are gay. Maybe you are tired of fighting it and trying to be “normal.”  Maybe you have been gay for some time and were too scared to reveal it.

A Course in Miracles might take some of the sting out of coming out.

Here’s what it says…

1“The escape from darkness involves two stages: 2 First the recognition that darkness cannot hide. 3 Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide or even could. This step brings escape from fear. 4 When you have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy.”

Let’s Break Each Sentence Down and Explain it…

1“The escape from darkness involves two stages:

1   To me, this means if we think being gay is something to be ashamed of or think there is something wrong with it, we will consider it as “darkness.”

 

2 First the recognition that darkness cannot hide.

2   We need to realize we cannot keep secrets. At some level everyone knows that we tend to favor the same sex, whether they want to admit it or not. A Course in Miracles emphasizes “minds are joined” and that “There are no private thoughts.” That explains “gaydar” and telepathy.

 

3 Second, the recognition that there is nothing you want to hide or even could. This step brings escape from fear.

3  Deep down inside we don’t want to be ashamed of who we are. The phrase  “or even could” confirms that “minds are joined.” Understanding this fact allows us to be free from fear.

How Telepathy Can Help Gays

If you are gay and terribly happy, you are probably not reading this—so this is for those of us still struggling with the some of the downsides of being gay.

If you haven’t guessed it by now, being gay is easier and more satisfying if we do our inner work and learn new tools to manage it. One of the tools is learning about a different way to communicate, using telepathy.

Instead of relying only on physical touch and the written or spoken word, telepathy is the ability to go deeper, picking up the thoughts and feelings of other people.

 

Here’s How Learning Telepathy Can Help Gays….  

It helps us…

  • Improve our gaydar
  • Eliminate awkwardness around same-sex friends
  • Avoid confrontations with disapproving and angry homophobics
  • Build self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Resist the urge to keep secrets from others
  • Relieve the feeling of being on guard around people
  • Get closer to God or the Higher Power

 

As you can see, learning to use telepathy can help take the fear and doubt out of being gay. To find out how easy it is to use telepathy, check out my other blogs.

How to Make Being Gay a Great Experience

Many of us have worked really hard, sometimes years, trying to ignore or change the fact we are gay. Sooner or later we give up and realize that the only control we really have with being gay is whether this will be the worst experience or the best experience we have ever had.

 

Here are Some Ways to Make Being Gay a Great Experience…

 

  1. Accept it. Think of it this way. There are 7 billion of us and we are all going up a mountain. Because there are so many of us, there are several paths to take. Every one of them goes to the top of the mountain. No path is wrong. They are just different paths with different experiences to offer. And no path is superior or inferior to the other paths. Once you accept your path, it gets more pleasurable.

 

  1. Get close and trust your inner guidance, God, Higher Power, or whatever you want to call it. Your path has lots of twists, turns, ups and downs so ask for help often, listen, and follow through. Navigating can be tricky at times, but it has the possibility of being a wonderful journey if you trust your guide.

 

  1. Practice being honest. You’ll find out that lying to yourself and others causes the path to become rougher and adds more fear to overcome. At first not being truthful seems like you are avoiding what scares you altogether, but really you are just pushing it down the path to be dealt with at a different time in a different circumstance. In the meantime, with each lie, the fear keeps piling up and gets harder to push, especially uphill.

 

  1. Watch your thoughts. Whether you know this or not, every thought you think causes an effect. So, if you complain, blame, get angry, or are afraid often you most likely don’t even see the path any longer through the shoulder-high weeds. What a difficult journey! But, if you see your path as a fun adventure, you have a clear path and are able to see the all the amazing gifts every step of the way.  

 

  1. Be grateful for being gay. This can be extremely hard at times to attempt, but if you even go through the motion saying you want to be grateful for the problems along the path, they will simply vanish before your eyes. This clears the path so you can see the real beauty in it. Being grateful creates more things to be grateful for.

 

If you are doing some of these 5 things even half-way, you are finding out that the experience of being gay is not that bad.

Work on it full-time and watch it become the best experience you have ever dreamed of.

How to Make Being Gay a Horrible Experience

For those of us who favor the same sex, after a while we become aware that no matter what we do, we can’t change the fact that we are wired to be gay. Hopefully, we come to the realization that the only control we really have with being gay is whether this will be the worst experience we have ever had or the best experience.

Here are Some Ways to Make Being Gay a Horrible Experience…

1.   Fight it. Listen to your conservative loved ones and society. In other words, try to be normal and fit in. Date people of the opposite sex. Cut off all ties with other gays and especially people you are attracted to. And then try your damnedest not to think about them. Usually, the longer you can last, the more depressing it gets.

 

2.   Don’t ever ask God or a Higher Power for help to see being gay with a different perspective. Instead, go with religious dogma believing that “God says it’s a sin.”

 

3.   Insist on making promises to yourself, try really hard to keep them, and feel guilty when you break them. To make it even worse, make promises to others.

 

4.   Practice being dishonest. Whenever you are approached with the question of being gay, lie, and think by doing so, you have avoided all the repercussions. Convince yourself that becoming a person you do not admire won’t affect your self-esteem in any way.

To make it worse, fool yourself into thinking telepathy does not exist and the only way any one will know you are gay is if you slip up. That causes lots of pressure.

 

5.   Don’t bother with being grateful for being gay. To make the experience worse, stay focused on being a victim and how hard your life is because of it.

 

6.   Distance yourself from others. When you talk with others focus on idle chat and under no circumstances get into deep meaningful conversations. Getting too close to people might cause you to inadvertently reveal too much about yourself.

 

7.   Worry about being found out. Obsess about how certain people will react and what they would think if they knew the truth about you. Treat it like reliving bad nightmares in your head over and over. It makes you really scared. To make it even worse, often think about horrible things that have happened to others you know.

 

If you actually do these 7 things, no wonder you are angry, depressed, and having a miserable experience with being gay.

The less excruciating thing to do is to change your mind, to make being gay the best experience you have ever had. Do it and watch what happens!

A Big Game Changer for Gays

Before we get started. Take three deep breaths. What I’m going to propose is something I’ve been struggling with for several years. So, don’t poo-poo it right off the bat. Just think about it.

Here it is…

Just wonder, if we had full control of whether we want to make being gay the worst experience we’ve ever had, full of punishment or the best experience we’ve ever had, full of love? Wonder if that choice alone sets in motion every event, who we meet, and what will happen along our gay journey?

I’m real sure almost all of us cannot change whether we are gay or not. But I’m pretty sure we can choose if we want the experience of it to be joyful and empowering, or to be degrading and painful.

  A Course of Miracles states,

“The test of everything on earth (in our case, being gay) is simply this; “What is it for?” The answer makes it what it is for you.”

Another section says,

“Perception seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a wish; an image that you wanted to be true.”

Wow! That last sentence was a doozy. So, we could feel we are so flawed and so wrong that we actually want to be condemned and punished for it.

On the other side of this, people like Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris currently seem like they have chosen to make being gay the best experience they have ever had, one full of love. Ellen’s mantra is to “be kind to one another” and it seems to be paying off.

Here’s the Good News!

You can change your mind at any time and watch everything around you change accordingly.

How to Use Telepathy with Romance

Do you want to know what your loved one is really thinking? Are you tired of doubting whether he/she is the one or not? Read on…

It’s easy to take at face value what your loved one says or writes you, but that can be so deceiving, especially within romantic relationships. There are all sorts of alternative motives for them writing or saying the things that they do.

Here are some…

  • Sex
  • To Please you
  • To follow Society Norms
  • To Please their parents or friends
  • For Money
  • Arm Candy
  • Companionship
  • Gain Status

 

For the truth, go deeper. Telepathy or mind reading is the ability to pick up the thoughts and feelings of the sender to get the whole message.

One of the easiest ways to find out what your loved one is thinking about you is really pay attention to what you are thinking and how you are feeling about them.

Don’t focus too much on what your loved one says, instead notice how you are feeling about them when they say it.

For instance, if they say “I love you,” ask yourself “Do I love them?” If the answer is NO, then they probably have an alternative motive, or they are not aware of their own true feelings. What’s really important is how you feel about them. If it’s true love, you both feel it.

So, when your loved one writes or says “sweet nothings” in your ear, it could easily be just that, “nothing” camouflaged in niceness.

How to Break Up the Loving Way

When the relationship just isn’t working, and you need to end being partners, there are really only two choices, either use FEAR to break up or  use LOVE. You can either make breaking up the worst experience you have ever had—full of anger, hurt, and conflict. Or you can make it the best experience you have ever had—in agreement, without pain, and in peace.

THE FEARFUL WAY

1  Place Blame

There is a strong tendency to be afraid of not having a good reason to break up in the first place. Then we go back and forth in our minds hunting for things that have gone or are going wrong. This could be blaming our partner, ourselves, anyone or anything, or a combination of reasons the relationship did not work out.

The main aim is to make the break up justifiable by making someone feel guilty for doing something wrong.

2  Break Up When we are Angry

In the height of emotion, we tend to attack our partner with all sorts of criticism and accusations. Our partner can quickly become defensive and then it escalates to a full blown fight.

This usually happens when we insist on breaking up in the heat of the moment and face to face. The method itself can bring up lots of fear for both parties.

It can easily feel like we are going into a huge battle full of conflict and in truth we are.

 3  The Need to Explain

When we break up the FEARFUL WAY, we have a tendency to not only explain to our partner “why,” but we have the need to get them to understand our side of it.

This could prolong the breaking up process into several discussions that could last months.

 

THE LOVING WAY

1  No Need to Blame

When we break up the LOVING WAY the reason we have to break up is that we grew apart, have little in common now, and have finished what we were supposed to do in our relationship. Nothing more than that.

2 Break up When We are Calm

When we break up the LOVING WAY there is no urgency. We are at peace and coming from our heart, waiting for God, Higher Power, or our Inner Guide to instruct us when to do it and what to say.

We are open to use the method that feels right, whether it’s written, on the phone, face to face, or something else.

3 No Desire to Justify 

When we break up the LOVING WAY there is no desire to justify it to ourselves, our partner, or anyone else. When we really go deep within, it all comes down to the fact it just feels right and we don’t have any idea “why.”

 

One of the hardest things to do is break up with someone. The purpose for everything is to learn how to LOVE in spite of who says or does what, or even if we break up or not. The problem is that if we don’t break up the LOVING WAY, we will continue to experience pain until we eventually learn how.

6 Ways “A Course in Miracles” Helps Twin Flames

I’m just like almost everyone else. I needed help with this all-consuming relationship. Once I discovered the term “twin flame,” I immediately went on the internet and found lots of resources. Everyone has their own experience and take on it.

Sometimes the information made me feel better. Sometimes it gave me clues to unravelling my own twin flame journey. Sometimes it confused me. And sometimes I couldn’t relate with the authors at all.

To this day, A Course in Miracles has given me more comforting “ahas” than any other resource on how to deal with the ups, downs, twists, and turns of my twin flame relationship.

 

Here’s Some Ways It Can Help You Manage Your Twin Flame Relationship…

 

A Course in Miracles…

1   Helps us get out of the FEAR.

The whole book is a course on how to redirect and train our mind away from fearful thoughts.

 

2   Guides us to rely more on GOD or a HIGHER POWER.

Our twin flame relationship gets a lot easier when we surrender to a Source that can solve any problem and resolve any conflict without sacrifice from anyone.

 

3   Shows us how to get rid of the EGO.

The ego is a term we use for self-importance, and being independent of others, including our twin flame. Therefore, all of our struggles in the relationship come from trying to stay separate and hang onto the ego.

 

4   Teaches us how to FORGIVE.

Without forgiveness, it is impossible to really love our twin flame, end the separation, and become one.

 

5   Helps us realize the enormous power of our THOUGHTS.

Many of us get in the pattern of chasing after or running from our twin flame. Instead, all we have to do to get immediate relief with any situation is replace our judging thoughts with loving thoughts.

 

6   Inspires us by describing a glimpse of the BIGGER PICTURE.     

It’s easy to lose perspective and get hung up in the intensity of the twin flame relationship, not taking into consideration the hundreds, if not thousands, of others who will benefit from the love of our twin flame union.

 

I only listed 6, but there are countless ways A Course in Miracles can make your twin flame journey easier and less painful.

About the Twin Flame Age Difference

“I’m really having a problem that my twin is twelve years younger. Why is there such an age difference?” One of my coaching clients questioned.

I think this is undoubtedly one of the hardest difference twin flames face, especially the older one of the two. So far, not once has the subject been brought up to me with the younger of the two.

Here are Two Reasons for the Age Difference…

1  Twin flames are filled to the brim with extreme polarities, ranging from different personality traits,  income brackets,  backgrounds, religions, beliefs, and physical characteristics. The age gap is usually one of them. The opposite factor plays a significant role in what makes your unconditional love for your twin like no other.

 

2   Let’s not forget the twin flame connection has a bigger purpose for humanity, and is not a typical story book romance. Because the twin flame connection is all about breaking the norms, changing rules, and shaking things up, it would make sense that the age gap would play and important part in this. What bridges the generation gap better than a romance between two individuals growing up in different time spans?

Promises, Romance, and the 3rd Dimension

The 3rd dimension is all about rules and obligations. So it would make sense that making and keeping promises in a relationship, would be a good part of that mindset.

If you are one of the very few couples who are having no problems and are perfectly happy making and keeping promises, don’t read this. But, if it’s getting harder and harder for either you or your partner to follow your commitments, here’s why…

 

Romantic Promises tend to…

1   Give you false SECURITY about the future

2   CONTROL behaviors or at least, attempt to do so

3   Help you avoid CHANGES

4   Encourage POSSESSIVENESS

5   Push you towards taking your partner for GRANTED

6   Cause COMPROMISE and SACRIFICE

7   Lower SELF-ESTEEM when the promise has been broken

8   Foster CONDITIONAL LOVE

9   Put you on AUTO-PILOT, causing you to IGNORE your thoughts, feelings, and insights

10 Slow down PERSONAL GROWTH

11 Allow you to neglect your INNER GUIDANCE or intuition

 

When you look at these components broken down, no wonder the old worn out 3rd dimension consciousness, full of rules, obligation, and compromise is in the process of collapsing. I think most of us are ready to experience unconditional love, living in the present, and using our inner guidance or intuition instead.

How are Twin Flames, Soul Mates, & Obsessive Relationships the Same?

Everyone talks about the many differences. Twin Flames are supposed to be the union that helps mankind. Soul Mate relationships are usually known for deep connections between two people that have similar mindsets. And Obsessive Relationships are usually thought of as one sided, where feelings of infatuation become extreme.

But, What Do They Have in Common?

The purpose.

All relationships, no matter what form they come in, are for us to learn how to unconditionally love the other person no matter what they say or do.

Don’t get me wrong!

That doesn’t mean we have to stay in a relationship that isn’t working or even talk to our partner again. But, it does mean that we stop judging them long enough to see another perspective, open our hearts, and love them in spite of it.

We are here, not to find love, but to learn how to give it.

Why do Twin Flames Get so Many Signs and Synchronicities?

We all get signs from the universe every day if we would just pay attention to them. Signs and synchronicities are things that happen that our logic can’t explain away. They either guide us towards a direction or direct us away from a direction.

It seems common for the twin flames’ signs to be way more frequent and more in- your-face. I guess so we don’t miss it. It’s like we have a mission to complete.

 

Here are some of the Reasons I think Twin Flames Experience so Many Signs From the Universe…

 

1  BIGGER  PURPOSE

A twin flame union is not the normal story book romance, full of personal gratification and enjoyment. Twin flames are being prepared for some major contribution to the world. Therefore, the universe will nudge and urge twin flames in the direction of their destiny through a series of signs and synchronicities.

 

2   EXCEPTIONAL

The signs and synchronicities help twin flames to become aware and realize this is something special that cannot be considered ordinary. Constantly being bombarded by signs makes us wake up and take notice.

 

3   UNCERTAINTY

During our journey towards our twin flame union, it’s difficult to not get lost in doubt. Signs and synchronicities always appear to confirm again and again that we are on the right track, that we are not crazy.

 

4   HARD  TO  DISMISS

It makes it very hard to deny or run from our twin flame when we are bombarded with never ending signs and synchronicities. No matter how much we try to forget, dismiss, or resist our soul connection, we are continuously reminded of it by the universe.

 

5   RAISE  THE  ENERGY

The intensity and frequency of the signs and synchronicities in twin flame connections stagger the mind which lifts the energy in not only the twins, but for anyone who is a witness to the sign. We experience situations that cannot simply be coincidental.

 

6   KEEPS  US  FOCUSED

The magical signs and synchronicities help keep us focused on watching the story unfold and in perfect timing. Otherwise we would get terribly impatient, miss the incredible journey, and just focus on the destination.

 

There may be years upon years during which you will see one sign after another, all appearing to be emphasizing the same message – and yet at the same time, nothing happens!  You just have to have faith that these synchronicities are happening for a reason.  Trust that you are not imagining them.  Accept the fact that as painfully slow as it feels, God is giving you a super advance notice for a very good reason.

What Makes an Amazing Relationship?

I talk with people all the time in my life coaching practice that have mediocre, at best, romantic relationships. Most don’t even know what a great relationship is, let alone have one. Which type of romantic relationship are you in?

Here’s What Makes an Amazing Romantic Relationship…

When we…

  • Feel good inside every time we are near our partner, talk to them or even think about them.
  • Both have learned to be excellent listeners without ever taking anything personal.
  • Notice our eyes light up when they walk into the room.
  • Have the best time with each other even doing the most boring, ordinary things.
  • Focus on having real quality time. You know, when you get rid of outside distractions and are fully present in the moment with our partner.
  • Both feel free to talk from the heart and share our beliefs, fears, and dreams without concern.
  • Can’t remember the last time we felt guilty or apologized to our partner.
  • Give and receive affection freely.
  • Cherish our time together and our time apart.
  • Have daily moments of appreciation just for being in our partner’s life.
  • Are constantly aware of our inner guidance or intuition with the relationship.
  • Can truly be ourselves.
  • Feel a connection that is incomparable to anything else.

Now, wouldn’t a relationship with all of these qualities be something! Perhaps you would like to experience it more than anything else. Or maybe you have had it and then watched it fade away.

Here’s what I have learned. The ability to get and keep an amazing relationship is based on our own inner work and mindset. The upcoming blogs will explain more about what’s required to always have this amazing connection.

10 Reasons it is So Hard to Forgive

If forgiveness were always easy the self-help section of the bookstore wouldn’t be lined with titles telling people how to do just that. Take heart and know that you’re not the only one who struggles with forgiveness.  Identifying why forgiveness is difficult for you, however, could be the first step in resolving the anger issue that’s holding you back from happiness.

Here’s 10 Reasons it is So Hard to Forgive…

1  We might feel trust is broken or we’ve been betrayed.

2  We don’t want to let them off the hook.

3  We think forgiveness means that we let them in our lives again.

4  If we forgive and forget it will happen again.

5  When we want to feel superior. This usually happens when we want an apology.

6  We believe anger stops it from happening again.

7  We believe our resentment can punish others.

8  We want them to take responsibility for their actions.

9  We want then to be willing to remedy the situation.

10  We believe we must forgive the truth and not our perception of it.

Another reason why there are so many books about the art of forgiveness is because it’s important.  Forgiving someone — and often ourselves — can lead to a greater awareness, a shift in stuck energy and a happier, more blissful life.

8 Signs You Have NOT Forgiven Someone

Forgiveness can be like cleaning out your closet. At first, it’s dreaded as one difficult, if not impossible, task. But once the contents have been cleared, sorted and organized, everything feels better – lighter.
Do the contents of your spirit need to be assessed? Forgiveness is one pathway toward clearing and freeing the spirit. We can say we have forgiven someone, but have we?

Here’s how to tell if you still need to do more forgiveness work-

When you…

1   Use what the person said or did as a topic of conversation.

2   Daydream about getting revenge or some kind of justice. A good example of this is attending your high school reunion and showing them.

3   Preoccupy your mind day in and day out either reliving or dwelling on the situation or the person’s behaviors.

4   Get annoyed if someone even mentions the person.

5   Have a tendency to avoid the person.

6   Are secretly delighted to hear about the person’s current difficulties and losses.

7   Strongly believe you have been unfairly treated and are an innocent victim.

8   Have friends and family that are tired of talking about the person and the latest drama.

 

Forgiveness is usually more of a process than we are willing to admit. If there’s still work to do, that’s OK! Now you know that you need to continue the process of forgiving to create a lighter, more expansive you.

To help you learn to forgive, you can also contact Vickie Champion for a discovery coaching and consulting session to overcome your guilt.
