Introduction to the
Wisdom of True Forgiveness

Printer Friendly Version

The following teachings and techniques are adapted from the books by Gary R. Renard, with his permission. Mr. Renard's books teach the metaphysics of ‘A Course In Miracles', which in my case enabled me to have a better understanding of the course and as a result along with many countless others, facilitated my becoming a student of the course. It has been said that if the course is the can, Mr. Renard's books are a can opener. One of the goals of ‘A Course In Miracles,' is to teach us to replace automatic judgment with automatic forgiveness. The course also assists us in undoing the ego mind, through a series of mind training exercises. The true forgiveness referred to here and in my story is different from the old fashioned forgiveness where we say, "I forgive you even though you are wrong."  True forgiveness recognizes that we are all suffering from the same disease, which is our imagined separation from God, and therefore we are all equally innocent. The healing that occurs through true forgiveness is powerful beyond imagination and is the same kind of forgiveness that Jesus practiced and taught during his last lifetime on earth. The following summary is only intended as an introduction to the teachings of true forgiveness and, if you are truly interested in learning more, I highly recommend that you read Mr. Renard's books and ‘A Course In Miracles,' which is Jesus's voice. It is through a full and deep understanding of the teachings behind the forgiveness techniques that makes them so powerful. By utilizing these teachings and techniques I was able to stop my own suffering, switch outcomes, and live a new day. Finally!!

This is a radical teaching, and is a way to undo the ego/mind and achieve enlightenment. It is not the only way, as all paths lead to God. Some of what I am about to share with you may be new to you, wholly or in part. I am going to share with  with you some new understandings of the truth about our world, and what is really going on here and provide you with actual methods of true forgiveness, and a way to end all suffering. We always have control over how we feel about what ever is occurring in the world around us and is key to becoming peaceful and returning to our real Home in perfect Oneness with God. This not about changing the world around us, it is about changing our minds about the world around us.

We are in Heaven with God right now, and in fact we have never left. This world is not Heaven and God has nothing to do with it. This world is a projection of our ego/mind. We are immortal spirit; these bodies are images that have nothing to do with what we are. We do not know that we are actually in Heaven with God, because of a tiny, mad idea, that we could be separate from God. From the separation came guilt. With the guilt comes the punishment that we imagine we deserve. Our ego mind is tricking us into thinking that this world is all real. It is not.

Our entire universe is a projection of our imagined separation and unconscious guilt. All the wars, disease, hunger, and poverty, are a projection and symbol of this separation and unconscious guilt. We pretend it is not happening. We numb out to it. We try to fix the projection out there, but our history keeps repeating itself individually and globally, which is really the same thing. It is ground hog day. The faces, names, days, years may change, and we may do a lot of rearranging out there, but our issues remain the same. Because until we undo the ego mind and the insanity, we will stay stuck in this illusion. Our unconscious is like an iceberg, most of it is under the surface. We are at first, resistant to the truth of the our unconscious until we've had enough of the illusion and decide to do what ever it takes to end the pain. Until we undo this iceberg, we stay stuck. Dealing with our conflicts in the outer world is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Forgiveness techniques

Techniques to accelerate true forgiveness

Use through all waking hours as needed

To forgive your self or stop blaming yourself:

Say to your self and/or say while looking into a mirror:

I am immortal spirit. This body is just an image that has nothing to do with what I am.

To forgive another:

Say mind to mind to another:

You are spirit whole and innocent. All is forgiven and released.

Throughout the day, as we feel the need to forgive, the preceding techniques are provided. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you through this process of forgiveness, for the big things as well as the little things that happen each day. This can be done anywhere, mind-to-mind, or in mediation. If done in meditation, visualize an image of whom you are forgiving and say the forgiveness technique slowly three times and allow the image to disappear from your view. The one you want to forgive the least is the one you need to forgive the most, for your own sake.

The truth is that there is no one out there. The entire world is a projection that is not real. We are one mind appearing as many bodies. By forgiving another you are forgiving yourself and undoing the ego mind and the insanity. In Heaven, since this world does not exist, there is really nothing to forgive. Within this illusion it works, to undo the ego mind. Like the layers of an onion we will undo the ego mind until there is nothing left, but Heaven. Just like we awaken from a nights dream, and it disappears and we see that we are in our room and never left, so too will we awaken from this dream and see that we are in Heaven with God, and have been there all along.

It is just as important to forgive an insult, as it is to forgive the death of a loved one. It is just as important to forgive a barking dog, as it is to forgive a war. They are all equally false projections of the ego mind. Anything that disturbs our peace is really the same. Complaining, arguing, and judgment stop the undoing and keeps us stuck in the suffering. When our minds are as pure as God’s mind we will re-join with God’s mind. When every last false thought of separation is undone then we will become enlightened and re-join the oneness of God. Our purpose in this illusion, if we choose, is to forgive and undo the ego mind. Holy Spirit/Jesus/Higher Self will take care of things on the metaphysical level. It may appear that others are not accepting the forgiving. Things may appear the same. That is ok keep forgiving. Even if the outer world does not change when we want it to we will become peaceful and it will no longer matter how long it takes to reach enlightenment. The truth of what is really going on here and that nothing is real will make us fearless. The undoing ends suffering. Forgive everyone and everything. Do not argue, or complain. Speak mind to mind. Forgive, undo. Let others have their beliefs and way of living. There is no need to convince them otherwise. They are not real. They are projections of our one mind.

Out of the seeming millions of choices we have each day there are really only two choices, the ego script or the Holy Spirit script. The ego script keeps you stuck. The Holy Spirit script ends our suffering. Our forgiveness lessons are right in front of us. No need to figure that part out. Just forgive what comes at us each day. That is how we undo this insanity. Forgiveness is a way out of this nightmare. Unless and until we have peace within our own minds and within the four walls of our own homes, we will not have peace within the four corners of our world.  

World peace is an inside job.

One mind at a time.

Use forgiveness to undo the insanity
