I don't forgive myself, and I certainly don't - nor will I ever, not until they've paid in blood - forgive the people who did this to me.
The literal essence of opening the heart is forgiveness. You can't go get revenge and only then open the heart - well you can, but it doubles the difficulty. Every act of revenge you carry out increases your load. Every little piece of resentment you actively nurture is another gigantic obstacle you add to your own path.

YO DAWG R U JOKING ME, meditation is the literal essential key to destroying your shitty thought patterns, jeez louise m8, check this out:
Quote:60.26 Questioner: There has been, for the past 30 years, a lot of information and a lot of confusion, and in fact, I would say the Law of Confusion has been [chuckle] working overtime, to make a small joke, in bringing information for spiritual catalysis to groups requesting it, and we know that both the positively and the negatively oriented social memory complexes have been adding to this information as they can. This has led to somewhat of a condition of apathy in a lot of cases with respect to the information by many who are truly seeking but have been thwarted by a condition of what I might call spiritual entropy in this information. Can you comment on this and the mechanisms of alleviating these problems?
Ra: ...
Once this basic information is received it is not put into practice in the heart and in the life experience but instead rattles about within the mind complex distortions as would a building block which has lost its place and simply rolls from side to side uselessly, yet still the entity calls. Therefore, the same basic information is repeated. Ultimately the entity decides that it is weary of this repetitive information. However, if an entity puts into practice that which it is given, it will not find repetition except when needed.
BOOM, Ra throws down wisdom. GET OVER YOURSELF, frickin' meditate. Ra is literally describing your exact situation. You keep asking for new ways to get around your situation, and the advice always boils down to: meditate. Get to know yourself. If you knew yourself, your life would NOT keep repeating shitty scenarios and negativity. That's the truth.
There's no new answer. You are not trying to know yourself, and so your life experience continues to repeat the same lessons in increasing intensity in an attempt to get you to pay attention. Eventually, your suffering will reach a point where it is IMPOSSIBLE to progress without consciously surrendering your ego.
Some people like it rough like that, they like to be dragged kicking and screaming into heaven. You may be one of those people.
Here's a passage from Eckhart Tolle, so I don't end on my own distorted opinions:
Quote:If you are run your mind, ... you will still suffer the consequences of your unconsciousness, and you will create further suffering. You will bear the burden of fear, conflict, problems, and pain. The suffering thus created will eventually force you out of your unconscious state.
You can't know his life purpose or plan. He could very likely need even more pain before its time for him to heal. We dont know everything. I think thats actually the point
