Forgiveness

Transcript
00:03
As masters, that's how masters live, masters can extract more nutrients from a Snickers bar than humans can from the most perfect organic meal. And that's a metaphor of life, too. Masters can draw, they can draw greatness out of anything, any experience.
00:30
Humans tend to have this, you know, this unfortunate pattern that positive things happen but you don't know how long they're gonna last. They call that waiting for the other shoe to drop you know yeah that was positive but I don't know if that's gonna last and then they have negative experiences and that becomes a major thing in their lived that's in that major thing you know that negative thing I would have a better life if only that hadn't happened the if only mantra which is not the mantra of God you know can you imagine if only you people would have worked out a little better I'd be a
01:00
happier God you know a codependent God but a happier guy it just doesn't work that way there is but love there is but God and when it doesn't seem like it it's because our minds have manufactured something else how it's through judgment you know through other thoughts and the really sad thing is we're actually addicted to judgments I mean we don't realize it and everybody excuses it well I'm not a judgmental person and then they use all kinds of ways to prove it you know there's people that have all kinds of like little stories you know
01:35
I'm not judgmental because look at me I'm not angry when I'm telling you that you're a jerk I'm not at all emotional about it what I just feel really at peace about it and they think that proves they're not judgmental you know I mean just because you can repress emotions doesn't mean you're holy you know it so there's all kinds of false versions of loving and I'm such a loving and forgiving person you know they think if I'm not loud then it proves that I'm not being judgmental Jesus demonstrated you can be really
02:13
loud just to shake people up and you have no judgment and you know there are examples lots of examples of people speaking very softly you know and yet having judgmental kind of vibe you know so so we have to learn to understand there's this duality for lack of a better word between this these ideas of judgment and forgiveness but the world that we see for the most part like Yogi's have always said your senses lie to you meaning the world you think you can see touch smell taste Ino and so on the world you think you see is not the
02:51
real world but there is a real world that's the good news but it takes humility to say ok you know what it's it's like a 12-step program to be able to say something's wrong you know and New Age you're spiritual people they forgot how to do that there's all kinds of false spirituality out there and we have to just consider like let's go another level and let's wake up and so what has to happen is we have to be humble enough to say you know even when we have a nice day and rainbows in the sky and pretty red rocks in Sedona and
03:29
so doesn't mean you found the real world yet if you don't feel the real world inside you're not even seeing the real world even glimpses of it those are just decent days that's all they are the ego knows that if it makes you miserable every day you're eventually gonna question it so it has to throw in a rainbow once in a while you know because people are so used to if they just get a little something I mean look at some people's relationships just a morsel of what seems like love or a ten-ton got the number of people I have
04:05
known and/or worked with the concept of a little attention is enough to take people off their Center a little attention keeps them married when it's they're unhappily married a little attention makes them have affairs you know some people a little attention that's all I mean children will be miserable and being being programmed with negativity that they'll be in there for the rest of their lives when they get old enough to go to therapy because of the negative attention they got or the lack of positive attention there's
04:37
such a void in human beings that it's like we'll do anything just get it filled people we think will fill it and they do not so what do you do you're going to need to drink to numb it so it's not so intense or you'll take something to stimulate yourself so you feel a little better I don't feel as bummed out as I was a minute ago all these addictions are about dealing with those deeper feelings and the deeper feelings are not there because it's the way life's supposed to be we manufactured a world that is not
05:09
in congruence with in alignment with God's world so God says let there be light we said well maybe maybe not let there be light well we like some gray and some dark - let there be light what do you think light is love peace joy abundance and we're like no no we would like to have bills to pay that we can't really pay we would like partnerships and if they go really really well and they're absolutely which would be rare beautiful partnerships they're gonna die and then we're gonna be left alone and God's going none of
05:40
this has anything to do with me the real love when you get back to the real love never dies people never die you would see them and feel them forever because you'd be living in a heaven like existence again we manufactured something different and that's what we mean by judgment not just you annoy me there those are judgments but believe it or not those are what humans call it judgement judgments but those are not those are symptoms of judgment if if you made a list if we all brainstormed and give me some ideas on what what you
06:13
judge what you hear other people judge war you know foods and so on and so on you know the AMA and the VAD and whatever else out there we would all name things but they're all symptoms the number one and only primary judgment is that we believe we're separate from God and then all the other judgments come from that see you annoy me but not because you annoy me you annoy me because I feel separate from God it creates angst and now I can't tolerate you you see but your art your it's already been set up
06:47
when you find people annoying which is relatively easy to do when you find people annoying it's not actually what they're doing that's causing you to be annoyed we aren't in Kansas anymore Dorothy we're not remembering and feeling the presence of God consistently and think about this you know have you ever have you ever let's say been away from home so long you started missing it right has anybody ever felt that have you ever been missing a loved one you can't wait to see the kids again anybody right okay
07:24
take that now that's just a kid a child a person a thing multiply that by I'm missing God how much more intense is that our brains can't even actually fathom them I'm missing heaven but you don't remember heaven because the ego helps create amnesia so since you don't remember having you don't know how much you miss it but take anything you've ever missed and multiply it by a trillion and it would even start to explain it to us it's beyond comprehension guys we miss love not romance we miss God we missed having
08:03
blissed-out consciousness so you'll drug it drink it try anything to establish even a morsel it's really sad if you think about it humans tend to settle that's why in A Course in Miracles you have and that's why Buddha was a hard-hitter you know that's why great teachers aren't the ones that kiss your butt you know and just try to make you feel better you know gee I mean Buddha was far from a motivational speaker you know his first mantra life is suffering okay great thank you for being here can you picture that dude today in a
08:41
conference a new-age conference nobody would sit and listen to him this guy's like bummed he hasn't healed his issues yet you know they'd go and listen to somebody who who strokes their ego you know and Buddha would be happily sitting there alone he'd be fine with that because you'd say number one you like the severed life cannot give you anything only awakening because the world you think you see is a dream therefore it can't give you anything cuz it's just a dream it's just shadows they're just everything's just fake so why would you
09:13
think you get anything the only reason and then we're mixing Buddha and course in miracles' the only reason people think they can get anything from the world is because they're insane the world can't give you anything but since you don't know the real world anymore you'll settle and that's why he's saying life is suffering you're gonna be upset Buddha saying I'm telling you I'm predicting you are always going to end up with a terrible situation Wow Buddha why because first you're gonna have the realization that this
09:48
world offers you nothing and that's kind of it kind of makes a person miserable but there's only one other type of person not the people that realize the world offers you nothing but those who think it does and as soon as they find that it really doesn't they're gonna also end up miserable that's what he meant by life is suffering he's saying there's no winning when you rely on this world and then Jesus in the course is then saying I'm not going to tell you in this material there's a world of love and peace go find it he said no I'm
10:24
going to tell you you feel terrible don't you he doesn't tell you the good news he says you know what that doesn't really work as well as people would hope he said instead I have a really radical approach I'm going to ask you to tune into your soul and be honest you are not feeling bliss are you you are not feeling joy on a day-to-day level are you and basis are you well not really great all I want you to do is own that life is not your the one you see is not really bringing you happiness okay fine Jesus fine
11:02
Buddha yeah you're right it's not really working out and then Jesus is giving the course is saying so then say this and if it's not you know I'm kind of tired of this I would like something different I would like happiness but he's saying you have to first recognize you miss it then you're gonna want it if I only tell you to want it you're only gonna get surface levels of it if I only tell you just keep saying I forgive you I forgive you it's surface level first look at how
11:34
hurt you feel inside before you forgive first own the deeper feelings so that the forgiveness can go to a deeper level kind of like any kind of housecleaning you can dust and that's like surface level forgiveness it looks better it's kind of nice things are shinier but are they really clean to a deeper level you know inside you know companies coming over I dusted I hope they don't know open any closets though you know cuz so everything comes pouring out you know they go oh oh look at this oh no no don't touch it you know that's how we
12:09
live in life don't don't look any deeper into me because I'm just only trying to show you the polished bits don't I look nice I dressed up for you to come and visit and spirits trying to tell us go deeper you know go deeper there's something more waiting for us so we have to come to understand you know there's surface levels of forgiveness and it's not the real thing we have to understand we live with judgment and the judgments are we think we're separate from God and therefore were flawed because only a flawed being would ever want to leave
12:43
bliss joy why would you leave abundance for bill-paying who in their right mind Jesus says in the course who in their right mind would do such a thing then he says but I've never referred to you as having your right mind you know so it's like he's saying you the human you you're not in your right mind who in the right mind would choose eternity for death and reincarnation and we go nation amazing it's it's as though it's perpetual life no it's called dragging things on we dress it up follow reincarnation
13:24
it just shows eternal life it does not it's the egos attempt to replicate eternity but if you think about it it just drags everything on oh you again that's all reincarnation is oh you're asking me to go back in marry my mother this time because I didn't get it all right last time you know so is that really what we're here for you know and no reincarnation happens it's a true thing but it's not our goal and it's not our goal to say well thousand more lifetimes and I'll get it right that even sounds
14:10
like okay that's wonderful cuz it's called evolution see we keep making up stories of things to make them sound good hey do you believe in reincarnation yes it's an evolution of the soul Oh God and then I grow every lifetime in one day I'm gonna have complete awakening and I'll be enlightened I swear to you one split second after you become enlightened after another thousand lifetimes of fasting and cleansing in 12-step programming and meditating and doing all the other stuff and pranayama
14:43
that all that we do to become spiritual and the cleansing of the self and the clearing of the mind and the awakening one split second later you're gonna go I had it all the time one split second of after all the work is done there's just gonna be oh I just had the weirdest dream I dreamt that I lost it all and then had to work to gain it all because the short version of the story the only shortcut is to accept that we really are already there we are as God created us now that's not to say that don't do any of the other because now that we're here
15:23
and we we forgot we do have to actually do these things to remember you can't pretend you know well since we're already there I'm just not going to do anything and I'll just wait for me to catch up to myself that's not gonna actually work so it's I'm saying in reality guys we're already there so follow me please in reality we never really forgot our divinity in reality but in the illusion we did meaning temporarily we did but it's a sure thing it's not like we have to hope one day
15:58
it'll come together it's a sure thing God did not create us to be lost so as soon as we thought we were lost God already planted a solution in us it's called forgiveness okay so I have to forgive the person that I don't like no no you have to forgive everybody but you also have to forgive yourself for ever believing that you or anyone else was anything but divine so do your fasting do your cleansing do all your things of the human stuff but don't forget to also work your mind the mind that says okay if we never separated from God here's
16:34
what I have in mind I'm going to now make it an affirmation in my heart and soul to see you as you really are see forgiveness is not alright fine that person's a jerk but I forgive them for being a jerk it's not it's the person's a jerk I forgive them for being a jerk oh no wait a second I forgive them for that but now I need to forgive myself for thinking that they were a jerk and I need to forgive myself for even believing that I could believe such a thing so I'm forgiving them at first but it isn't about them true forgiveness ends
17:17
up ends up about us forgiving ourselves believe it or not because even when people act up and Jesus does tell you in the course some people wouldn't understand this or believe it but even when people act up he says guys when people act hurtful they are Jesus is saying I'm telling they are coming from their ego no doubt about it they're not coming from the soul they're not being loving they're not doing nice things he's not denying that for he's not telling you to deny it it's true and then he's saying but they
17:51
will never stop coming from their ego until the day someone is willing to say goodbye to their ego and hello to their soul are you willing to try that in your life anybody great we'll do that as soon as they start behaving more nicely that's again the human little hook no that's the drag about the whole thing is that we have to actually practice this while they're still not being nice okay that's a spiritual warrior the tenacity man an inner strength conviction just like if you're doing a 12-step program you don't just go that'll be a nice spa
18:31
I'm gonna go to a spa call this 12-step group oh man this is this is some heavy stuff when you start doing your step work and you start doing inventory you're not at a spa you'll probably get worse before you get better because it's not fun because because if you have good sponsors they're gonna tell you well thank you for sharing about all those mean and bad people in your life but let's talk about you well why don't we don't need to talk about me I'm I'm really clear about myself I'm I know exactly who I don't like and why you
19:07
know and they're gonna say no no let's let's get back to you again and it is annoying that's why the the real true deeply spiritual groups or or or path to God is not the most popular necessarily they're not the ego stroking ones they're real that's why we have that saying religion is for those who fear hell spirituality is for those who have been there one of them is more real and integrated that's what it is you know religions oh I don't want to go to hell I'm gonna behave look at me I'm gonna behave nicely you know you're
19:47
already in hell because you're already pressing and judging and this and that spirituality is for those who have been there it's for people who recognize willing to look and recognize what I deal with men here's my short here's my weaknesses you know I I I want to be really awaken loving but I I tripped sometimes I do I slip and I do little of this and I fear that seeing it and the more you can see it and be really transparent and vulnerable about it believe it or not the less it has power anymore it's like well what I don't have
20:22
any secrets so what what could have power well I heard this about you or that yeah I remember that yeah that was a tough time in my life you see just nice and clear nice and clean so what we do is because we have these feelings that we separated from love we judge ourselves for it and then what happens is this you guys know that thoughts create right as soon as I have a thought that I'm separate from God and that I must not be a very great person for having done that guess what's gonna happen my thoughts boomerang out and
20:59
come back to me in the form of what we call people humans and relationships and so on my thoughts you know god I'd left God it would not that you have that consciously but inside the soul what are we doing here you know the souls looking at the human self going hey what are you up to oh I'm just on my 13th marriage but this one is gonna be real it's gonna be wonderful the soul's going you're kidding me it's not the souls gonna say to the human self it's but it's not the marriages
21:31
apparently cuz you've tried that several times right over a dozen I have an idea this all is gonna say let's get all of your issues that are causing your life to be messed up to get in incarnated in your partner so that they can bring it all up so you can clear it through forgiveness and instead they do bring it all up we get annoyed we fire them and get someone else and we do it again and again we do that in everyday life but if you miss it you've got some pieces left over which you will when you die you get to come
22:05
back and have reincarnation bring it all up again but spirit is saying I'm always banking on the day where you will start to get it where you will start to say this again hmm scratch they had lightbulb ah maybe it's me I'm not saying what they do is nice because we said again if they're not being nice they're coming from their ego that's fine but what we have to ask is why are they in your life what do I need what can I learn from this back to the responsible bits you see so we do this this kind of a boomeranging
22:45
and it comes back in the form of people all people acquaintances strangers partners children and so on it's all coming back but it's coming back for a reason so of course a miracle says the reason you have tests in life are ever only one reason because there are things you missed last time lessons you missed they'd have come and he tries to say it all nicely they'd have come back for healing you know we don't go guess oh my god you don't call your friends guess what a bunch of stuffs going really crazy in my life so I can really clear
23:20
this you know that's not how we approach it but that's kind of what he's saying it's coming back because it didn't get cleared and healed last time so whoohoo it's back so you can clear it and even though that's not easy to celebrate it's not easy to just to say you know wow this is gonna be fun it is possible for us to see things a little more clearly and responsibly you can kind of make it an exercise for yourself that you're still going to be tempted to be upset
23:50
but but try to see things as wait this is just a test and if it's a test how do I want to do it's very simple do I want to pass or fail obviously I want to pass okay then what do I need to do to pass the test now if you say I want to pass so I never have to see that person again oh you already well I want to pass because of who I really am try that I want to pass because it's what my soul really wants I want to pass because it's all that's true it's God passing the test have the right reasons not the defensive ones
24:31
have the right reasons and then it'll motivate you more you know it's a test and I want to pass because that's the real world and also then you can celebrate when you pass the test yes yes it can mean that may not need to be revisited but if you Bank on it and say I'm only doing this so it doesn't come back it's already gonna come back when you think you're over issues even when you're practicing forgiveness like you should be and you think okay maybe now I'm over this the need to be over it's already going to attract it again what
25:03
we have to do is not care one way or the other that's how you stay neutral that's how you stay on attracting to these things when you say hey you know what I feel pretty good if it comes up I'm already feeling pretty good and if it doesn't I don't care cuz I'm already feeling good that's the right attitude make sense that need for it to be over man that's gonna just call it back so we do suffer from like a spiritual amnesia and we can't cure it by by defending you know we think we're we've practiced forgiveness we go okay I think I'm I
25:40
think I'm done I think I've made it past you know and you know I think I've forgiven things but if you keep bringing up the same issue you may not be past it let me just be honest with yourself if you keep bringing it up if you if you forgive out of obligation or out of fear I gotta forgive or else none of that's gonna be real so when you think you've worked on something even out of pity oh you know they're hurting now so I guess I forgive them or if you forgive like this well you know I guess my father mother whomever it was you
26:15
know I guess you know they were drinking a lot so it really wasn't their fault now you're making excuses that's not forgiveness all kinds of reasons all all kinds of methods the ego has it doesn't want you to practice any form of forgiveness but if you're going to it wants you to have a misdirected false form of forgiveness so that you can't really feel that that depth of change inside so when you think about having forgiven someone ask yourselves like the criteria was it pity obligation was I making excuses for them and that
26:48
happens a lot especially amongst spiritual people you know as soon as the person's been in counseling for two weeks they think they'd forgiven everybody you know because that you know first there's the tough couple of weeks or whatever oh all this stuff's coming up then they're going on I'm past it now just be open I'm just here and I feel clear and if something comes up it kind of sort of moves through us if it brings up a tear cried it hear cry the tear and then bring it to the altar look at the deeper parts and say wow what's that
27:21
about and release that to don't oh my god a tear oh my god I thought I had healed this oh my god I must have failed now you start picking on yourself and that's very very dangerous because the ego again wants you to punish yourself and judge yourself for not having forgiven well just keep moving as though it it's open it's all open and I'm okay no matter what that's a like a really healthy neutrality so true forgiveness means greatly that I'm willing to look at myself here if you have no conversation about your own part in
28:02
things your you you pretty much can count on that you're not really reaching true levels of forgiveness so and and compassion when if you ask the average kind of spiritual person what's the greatest level of forgiveness one of their answers may be their only answer is oh it's compassion because that's so Buddhist like it's not the highest compassion for most people not all for most people compassion I'm gonna just kind of embellish it a little bit to make my point but for most people compassion is I used to judge people
28:39
like that but now I just feel sorry for them see I'm glad you caught on so quickly some don't when I say but now I have compassion for jerks that's kind of what you're saying I I'm now so loving I don't judge them anymore I just I just breathe into my heart and feel compassion for them but you're still establishing and saying that that there's still something wrong with them the highest form of forgiveness is to forgive as God forgives and the forgiveness of God would mean that I don't see anything in
29:16
the first place that I can only see God in you okay now that gets tricky cuz now if I end the talk right there everybody leaves going that ain't happening I'm not gonna be doing that anytime soon oh yeah everybody can just be abusive oh I just see the God in you cuz that's true forgiveness it's numb this is a process you can't just jump to it and go there I'm now higher than compassion I now to see good in everybody you know you see somebody mugging going that's okay it's
29:47
just love that's another thing that goes on in the new-age community a lot of people are playing this it's actually because they're not deep like they pretend to be and they use this phrase and forgive me if this applies to you folks but they do this um it's all love right it's all love and they'll say things like you know when I see things I've seen speakers talk about things like this somebody will say well how do I deal with this thing that happened just don't judge it well this person kicked me in the leg well don't judge
30:18
that they kicked you in the leg oh okay I'm better now thanks for that advice you can't what it is is you're suppressing the feeling and pretending that you're okay it's great in its wording its concept sounds real like that sounds rational just don't judge it but there's something more guys there's something deeper just like deeper than compassion there's see you know really as God sees and you're never closer to being like God while you're on earth you're never closer to being like God
30:51
then when you forgive like God which is to say the human me sees this happening okay the human me perceives this but that's not God so you can't just say it's all love and you can't just say I'm not going to judge it that's a lot you're already judging it so here's what I mean if someone comes up and kicks me in the leg and I can say well I'm just not gonna judge the experience they tell you and now you're clear that's not true you can't be clear because what really happened is I felt separate from God my
31:30
thoughts boomeranged out and manifested as you kicking me in the leg I need to actually look at the idea that I misperceived Who I am see the other is just knowing just don't judge it that's fake you know God blessed the teachers and the students that practice that at least they're doing something I'm just saying as I often do there's another way there's a deeper way to do this if you don't show up for the forgiveness process it's not deep it's not real so if you just go you know I'm just not
32:01
gonna judge it I it's great it's almost like an NLP kind of technique you know kind of a neuro-linguistic program it's like oh I'm gonna just neutralize that oh I'm gonna tap it you kicked me in the leg mm-hmm just might be kick the leg I feel fine tapping EFT the techniques they help they are good don't get me wrong they're good but it tap yourself forever and you still do not reach God cut despite not reaching God consciousness I'm gonna tap so that you don't reach God through the tapping you just ease
32:36
the garbage of this world a bit and it's good to do that but it doesn't replace this show up wait a minute you kicked me in the leg Wow what's that I wonder what was in my thinking that would have made you think that was okay somehow and I need to forgive you for kicking me that doesn't mean if you go to kick me again I'm gonna go another lesson in forgiveness I could restrain you from kicking and say I got it thank you thank you I don't need to stay married to you I don't need to stand in front of you while you kick
33:11
me again as soon as I see something's going on my job is to work it and heal it not to go how many more times can you do this so what I do is I show up and I say I'm here I may not like that you did that I may not like having to look at this first I need to forgive you your behavior is ego clearly and it is my destiny it's my responsibility to forgive you and it's relatively easy when you get used to how to do this but you're basically saying you know what whatever seems to have happened goodbye goodbye goodbye to the ego goodbye to
33:52
the hurtfulness fine but I still have to ask myself why I'm there and I don't have to know all the details but at least say to yourself this whatever I thought that would have made you drawn into my life I accept that I must have thought it somewhere I forgive myself for it and not only do I empty my cup by forgiving myself for it I now ask to know who I really am and what I really deserve so I've taken it full circle what I really deserve is what love God peace now you go to kick me again you go
34:26
no actually no so you don't go okay well I'm gonna just show spiritual tenacity man go ahead kick me yes you know and you can just take it you know like yeah you know like the the the the medicine bags they call are the heavy bags and stuff you work in boxing you know or they take the big bag and they found that on the stomach muscles to tighten the stomach yeah you know they say there go ahead do it again boom that's not what you're supposed to do spiritually you're allowed to go no you did that a moment ago and I already got it so now
34:55
I'm clear and the phrase I use for that is not today you see not today Jesus did it you're allowed to do it they come to arrest him he goes no no not today you're allowed to say to people now I already got that lesson oh but I'm gonna kick you and then here's what you're saying to them it's not that you should verbally say this but here's what you're really saying guess what I know that on some other dimension in my mind I thought I was unlovable and flawed and that might have sent out a message that made you
35:29
think Hey look a victim and then you did this to me but guess what the weirdest thing happened I figured it out and now you don't need to do that what you're doing is you're running on an old compulsion see there's an old program that says you can talk to me that way funniest thing I imagine somewhere I sign that contract but I've since burned it you just have an old copy look at it because when I changed my mind it spiritually energetically stamped your contract flipped in the last page you'll find null and void the case was
36:08
dismissed i pled insanity and it's been dismissed so I don't need you in my life anymore that's what you do without judging them without hating them without believing they have power over us we dismissed them is that making sense forgiveness is is just not you know what people think it's it's not this kind of surface level or shallow kind of a process or quick fix it's it's actually like you're going into a crash course of a 12-step program you know you're going into a deep deep deep personal process but it has to involve us looking at our
36:46
part there's a phrase in the but in the Course in Miracles and so I'm gonna start closing in a moment the salvation of the world rests on us the world we think we see was created by our consciousness okay God did not say like we think you know as we were brought up God created it all God is not capable of saying look at the pretty butterfly that one were easy you know it's easy to do I bet God created butterflies we think you know we think that's okay but God did not create the web vide Lanzon and the
37:27
spider to come and suck its life out of it if we just pause for a minute it wouldn't take much for us to say something's wrong with this picture the reason the Bible says one day the lion will lie with the lamb it'll mean this stuff that we call nature will not look the way it does nobody has to lose for somebody to win you don't have to actually take the life out of something to live another day that's human thinking oh you have to you don't even have a body that needs fed but while you believe you do find play
38:03
the game but there will come a day when we don't believe that anymore there will there will come a day when we retire all these thoughts that if in an argument if I if you win then I lose that's duality and that's how everybody thinks it's called survival of the fittest not just in nature but even in conversations we're arguing about something and I probably could say sorry but I won't because that makes me feel weak you're not weak unless you believe that strength comes from saying sorry
38:39
and there's teachers popular spiritual teachers that are telling you the opposite don't apologize it's a negative statement oh thank you for that it's not it's a negative statement to a negative person it's a powerful statement in real life if you've done something to be able to sorry about that it's kind of nice it helps retire mistakes but it shows responsibility but especially if you feel strong from it and I've seen people that have horrible phobias about that one word sorry like like I'm miserably
39:18
they can't do it well I why do I have to say how come you don't say I've counted them three times this month you know you said it but you owed it to me six times you know they in their head they've got all these stories and excuses but but if I say I'm sorry that means I'm wrong and I don't believe I was wrong it goes on and on our strengths forgiveness is our greatest ally forgiving does not mean Oh fine once again I'm the one who has to forgive the mean people I guess they're never gonna have to just be nice to me
39:55
now you're being a victim and believe it or not how all these things happened why why have I been a victim you know why because something inside you were already judging yourself as less than a beautiful perfect divine being you we believe that all of us believe it to some level we believe were flawed and you know what it does again it sends out a message and somebody out there goes looking for a victim oh look there's one because in there forgetting who they are they often polarize to either a victimizer or a victim the victimizers
40:32
are in just as much pain as the victims guys and if forgiveness doesn't come in we stay split the victim and the victimizer but they're both the same being two sides of the same coin when we're playing different roles hey listen um I feel kind of spiritually insecure how about you yeah me too we're on the other side right I'm gonna get incarnated yeah me too okay do you mind kind of kicking me around and abusing me a little cuz I just feel really low I would love to I would love to because I feel low too and
41:01
I feel a little better when I kick people around and we assign it and then everybody comes and plays their role and and what we do then the ego goes amnesia and then we're like I can't believe you did that to me and the world is waiting for someone to say I do believe it Wow and you did a really good job by the way yeah I mean Academy Award you know for that role major jerk you know Wow and I'm gonna own that on some level I hired you I don't want to think that I don't like to think that because I don't like to say
41:41
sorry I don't like to take your responsibility and all those things make me feel weak but I'm gonna do it anyway I'm gonna say on some level I guess I might have played a part but now that I own that I can say you're fired I cannot fire you if I'm not the owner of the business I cannot fire you from my life if I don't own that I own my life that I'm I'm the leader so victims keep remaining victims and victimizers keep remaining victimizers someone has to step in and be courageous enough to say hey victimizers I got it and I won't
42:19
be needing you anymore isn't that beautiful it works it's for real so there's plenty of people who who think they don't need to say those words there's plenty of people who who don't actually think they have to practice forgiveness but listen you're never gonna take heaven by storm you're not ascending to heaven just because you believe in ascension you're not going to heaven just because your religion says it's the religion that gets to go to heaven none of human
42:51
versions of heaven are going to be attained oh what a bummer I just dropped a real bomb they're like what how depressing is that no one is getting to heaven by any means by storm or by trying to take it by making it happen only only it it'll sound like I'm being narrow-minded only through forgiveness because it's only through judgment we lost heaven and forgiveness is the only cure to judgment so I need to start practicing forgiveness and if all the forgiveness I know is to start with fine you're a jerk I forgive you
43:24
that's at least a start but what's amazing is you're gonna start evolving it and pretty soon you're gonna get to a point where you stop saying they're bad and you're forgiving it's going to evolve too it's easier and easier to to let people off the hook for the roles I'm not saying they didn't do it though okay fine find em you know it is what it is that those things I remember that happened and this happened but I start retiring it from having power over me and I also start recognizing my divinity because I'm gonna start forgiving myself
43:55
for even being involved in that at some point I start be careful with this one guys I'm gonna even be grateful for the people that acted so rudely because when they did they gave to me a vision of where I was missing things they showed me my low self-worth I know that what we want in life is to not have those kinds of mean people in our lives and I too would love that but I'm also aware that when they do those things their only tests I miss yesterday and let me work them a bit better today there's no other way you can't say dear
44:37
baby Jesus make all that mean people go away because then you will disappear you'll be the first out of them it it doesn't work it just doesn't work you can have the Noah flood and erase the world of the sinful people and guess what happened we all came back we all just incarnated again soon as there were enough people having babies we started shooting in whatever issues we had before we still had them we didn't go you know after that flood I'm gonna go back to earth and I'm gonna be a saint
45:19
it didn't happen angry people we're still angry hurt people were still hurt people still took stuff out on each other it's an inside job man we have to make major changes and it's an inside job and spirit is just again saying I know you can do it understand God knows we're gonna do this it just says you know I would recommend it kind of speed it up a little because the longer you believe in judgment and hate and hurt you're going to drag out this whole illusion of pain in your lives but God says I'll wait as long as
45:58
it takes that infinite patience so if God says I already know you're gonna make it then what should you be doing if you want to be like God say to the people you don't like I know you're gonna make it that's called faith faith is not what people think I'm just having faith that God will give me the lottery no true faith means and everything that doesn't look like love peace joy and abundance is not real I have faith in that I have faith that it has no power in me and I have faith that you too will get that in a moment today tomorrow next
46:37
year I don't care but it's gonna happen that's what faith is faith is not that your child's gonna get first place in a race faith is that everyone in the race is made in the image of God whether they fall whether they get hurt whether they win sprained an ankle isn't that amazing that we do all these things but I'm affirming that only God is it's not easy to live the Christ life it's not easy to to maintain this perfect state of consciousness but it is our destiny so let's remember this though the last way I'm saying this everything in this world
47:13
is wrapped in a veil the word a veil means evil so what we think is evil good and evil there's a battle of good and evil is there's good here's good and there's a veil wrapped around the good okay so it's good and a veil not good and evil okay so it's good and a veil why is there a veil they're called judgments the veil came when we thought we separated from God and that that made us less than divine by thinking it made us less than divine it affirms that it actually happened so as soon as we let go of the judgment that
47:46
were less than divine we're starting to let go of the belief that we did it you see philosophically it's deep it's powerful but on a practical level it's a the ultimate 12-step program is not from alcohol or drugs it's from judgment and it goes through the same steps I need God's help I need to look at my stuff and I need to bring my successes to the world okay so the world is wrapped in a veil and when you marry a bride and you lift the veil do you know what that was symbolic of I am determined my beloved to see you beyond what the veil shows me
48:30
amazing huh it was always supposed to be that now what if you're a gay couple what if what if you didn't have a veil kind of traditional thing its metaphor man everyone is wearing a veil I love all of you I don't want to marry any of you but I love all of you and I would like if you don't mind I would like to lift your veil you see love not the romance partner let me lift the veil and then a few years we'll hate each other it's it's I am determined to see you beyond the veil my beloved and
49:07
you lift the veil kiss the bride it's like join with what you've just accomplished I see the Christ in you so if that's true it means we all need to marry everyone spiritually we need to lift the veil I am determined here there's a 150 people in this room and there's 100,000 or whatever it is watching online no matter where you are even if I never meet you I am still determined if you would let me please to lift the veil and see the real you the Christ in you and that's why revelation says I am gonna see a marriage between a
49:45
bride groom and a bride has many meanings and one of them is I am going to eventually marry all of you spiritually I'm going to lift the veil and consummate our oneness on that note no don't shuffle around a lot just go in let's close our eyes and let that take us inside just breathing just dropping the stuff of the world we're not ever wrong or bad for seeing a world perceiving a world even for creating the world it was just kind of a bad dream but we have to own it when when we saw victims and
50:52
victimizers when we saw people physically you know harmed when we thought people died it's all part of a dream I know it feels real and I know it's sad and hurtful sometimes but it is not God's world because in God there's no hurt that can happen the people that say just don't judge the hurt and then you're one with God no in God the hurts can't even happen and there is no death in God you don't just not judge it there is no such thing so some breathing just to own wow there's this world and it isn't the one
51:33
God created and I am not happy with this false world it's it's painful it's sad it's limiting and it's not God's world so I am determined to find the other world because I know it's there and the other world is the love peace joy oneness abundance bliss eternity and there's only one way to see it and let's just do a little process that is a metaphor of how we do this take a minute just a minute to imagine you're still you're quiet you're centered we will not determine who they are but there are going to be about 10 people
52:28
standing back away from you and one at a time they're going to approach with a veil over their face it doesn't have to be a white wedding dress cuz some are gonna be male some female randomly imagine the first person walks up you don't know who they are you don't know if they're male or female but they symbolize and trust in this the Holy Spirit I am giving you permission divine mother Holy Spirit of God bring me the people I need to see the first one approaches you and just hear these words no matter what role you've
53:05
ever played up or down victim or victimizer good or bad lover hate I am determined to see you as you really are and lift the veil and see who's there whoever it is it's okay to have a tear it's also okay to laugh at yourself a little like oh I forgot about you but they're there oh so you were one of the people I put a veil over and saw something else I saw a mean person a nice person or whatever they were but it was a veil I am determined to see you as you really are and just look at them without any effort let them just turn to
53:50
light don't think about it don't judge it just let them turn to light and let them move aside and let another one come up and do the same thing over and over for about a minute now try to get just a slight amount of an idea of how much relief there is when each person is let off the hook it doesn't matter what role they play good or bad when a person is released from form from density from from programs and limits guys they just feel such release try to feel that when you let each one dissipate
55:09
the roles the silly roles that's all they are no matter what role we're all in this together one or two more and one last one that we're purposefully going to choose they walk up I know that on some level I have put you in roles played roles put impressions on you
56:20
programs on you whoever you are I know I have some great thoughts about you not great thoughts I see your past somehow I know about all your past but I am determined to see you as you really are lift the veil and see yourself I'm so sorry about all that making you an image of a success or a failure you've been naughty or people treated you hurtfully God if I don't let you off the hook you're gonna keep living even the next lifetime you're gonna carry all this with you that's ridiculous I would never wish that upon anyone I love and I
57:01
love you so I'm determined to see you me as I really am and see yourself turn to light and feel what a relief you
