When we stepped away from love,
We entered the world we'd imagined without it,
Where love is elusive and conditional at best,
And at its worst,
Abusive,
Treacherous,
And impossible to find and sustain.
Because of this,
The limitlessness of love is inconceivable for us to imagine.
The idea that we could be loved totally and be given everything our hearts could desire and much,
Much more has no parallel in this world.
So as you respond to the power of forgiveness,
Your heart will open to its immense love and your deserving will begin to expand,
Gradually releasing the innocence of your true nature and your true creative power.
True forgiveness is the function of the inner self.
It uses this magnificent energy to heal the belief structure within us,
Containing the memory of our errors and the distorted self-image they produced.
When this structure is cleansed of those errors,
The innocence of our original creation will be all that remains.
With this healing,
The immaculate image you carry into your life will be the same as that of your inner self.
As its energy descends through you to manufacture your experience,
The distorted beliefs of the negative ego that once blocked its love will be gone.
There won't be anything left to stop the incredible force of what you are.
Forgiveness has opened the floodgates of miracles into your life.
Resist the temptation to tell yourself that you must tolerate the events that frustrate you and bring you pain because no one can really expect continuous peace,
Safety,
And happiness.
As you find yourself questioning your rights in this way,
You can sense the ego at work trying to get you to compromise and be willing to accept just a little bit of suffering,
Punishment,
Or unhappiness.
Notice how you react to hearing you have the right to peace and happiness and that anything that disturbs these states violates your rights.
You may hear yourself thinking,
That can't be true,
But this is the reason forgiveness is the function of the inner self as the champion of your healing.
It knows the heritage of love and understands how completely different it is from what you've learned in the physical world.
It knows that only love is real and in its limitlessness it gives without compromise.
Here's a meditation.
As you start this day,
Close your eyes and take a few gentle relaxing breaths.
See your inner self standing before you smiling,
Holding a tiny flask of golden liquid.
As it holds the flask over your head,
Hear it say,
I'm going to open up a little place on the top of your head and pour this loving golden liquid into all that you are.
Feel its warmth descend into your physical form and sense all your self-doubt melting away as you accept the power of love.
Then open your eyes and sense its presence within you throughout the day,
Reminding you of the peace and happiness that spring from your deserving to be loved.
