RE: Forgiveness on Yom Kipur (atonement day)
i know that when i have tried to forgive my self i do not get the same feeling as when i genuinely forgive another person
It's not a coincidence. The human cannot forgive itself. No matter how much you try and in which way, you will fail. In order to truly be forgiven you, the human, need to allow a forgiveness from a higher order, that is your soul. How? You don't think about it, you don't process it, you don't speak to your soul. You just allow. Breath and Allow the forgiveness from you soul.
That's even more complex to wrap my head around. So essentially........just stop thinking about it, and trust that your soul will forgive you? It kinda makes sense, why wouldn't it. I don't think that's the hardest part, probably the 'stop' action to the thoughts is the tricky bit. But i can try it, if my mind starts to spiral just intercept the spiral with- no point going over this, i know my soul will forgive me.
Or is that a no go?
Exactly.
You stop thinking about it and you know that you are forgiven.
Now, stopping the mind chatter is binary. 1 or 0. There's no in between, there's no "I'll give it a try and see the results".
You make a choice to stop and you stop. 😊
I think if it was as simple as that i'd have succeeded a long time ago. If you want an example of the crazy chatter that runs through my mind have a read of my most recent blog.
That said, ive not tried it with the idea in mind that i am already forgiven, i think for me i will start integrating this idea into meditations, planting it in the subconscious :)
I have read 80% of your recent post. You are thinking too much, my dear, hence feeding the demons. There are practises how to focus the awareness in the now moment. I for one use breathing. Deep breathing. Try it and you will realize that you can't think and breathe (consciously) at the same time. Bingo 💥
I do think WAAAAAAYYYYYY too much, i have always been this way since i was tiny! Thanks for the advice! I am working on several things to assist. Hopefully some readers will read the comments too. :)
