forgiveness, what does it really mean

[Oldern]

The act of forgiveness, I think, is a reaction that is boiled down to 3 distinct steps.
1) Recognizing what is the "issue" there with the self or the other self.
2) Finding what is really bothering you with that action - and usually, it is because you can find something with that act, thought or belief that represents or represented part of you at one point in your life
3) Accepting it as a valid way of expression, a valid way of life. As in: it is okay to be flawed. We are here to be flawed. We have flaws and we have purity at the same time. We are the paradox. It is alright.

In this act of forgiveness, you accept what is in you as well as what is in them.

There are ways to move this concept to the infinity field, of course. You can lesser and lesser the impact of this by "judging" others, which is nothing but removing yourself from the picture, not even thinking about if you have the trait that you are about to judge. That is one way. The other way is to move a step "above" this, and see how the conflict of archetypes are at work, and find similar difficulties somewhere else. Now you are dealing with the Oversoul itself, and the way how every conflict is born and resolved, simply by doing mystic statistics, hehe

I so wanted to chime in and say my two cents in several different threads in this forum lately. Then I realized that the arguments are only representing the surface of what is really happening - and I could not make a "difference" even if I wanted to with that, so I just started recognizing paralell threads that had the same pattern all over them - and now it does not bother me at all. It is alright to do that.
