In The Course in Miracles it talks about asking God for help to “See a situation differently”. Meaning, if we can’t let something go we ALLOW God to change our mind to ‘right thinking’. So I did that. The course also talks about forgiveness. Even if someone hurt you so bad. You choose forgiveness. My mantra became “I forgive him, and release him to the hands of the Holy Spirit”. Every. Single. Time. I thought about him, I would repeat this over and over.
The morning after I prayed I woke up with SUCH peace. The course in miracles talks about how each and every person is love. And innocent. And it is only projection of our minds that sees anything different. Everything that is not love, is a miscreation of humans based on false scarcity and fear. It simply does not exist. And our highest good we can do in this life is to see people in their true form, which is love.
And:
When we force ourselves to close chapters in our lives with ego, with fear and anger and misery, we create walls in our own hearts. We create resistance to love in our own hearts. We set up little field mines in our own hearts to try to navigate later. Whatever they did, is not worth your pain anymore. Love them, realize your love will never die, put the situation in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and realize it isn’t for you to figure out anymore.
Trust. In. The. Process. This all happened for a reason. There are only Mistakes if you choose to take pain from this experience. We all have lessons to learn. Relationships bring up our pain from the past. You can either heal that pain, or you can continue to shut your heart down.
