So get yourself comfortable and actually commit to this.
Actually commit to having this experience.
Decide that you are going to focus,
Remain present and actually experience what it means to radically forgive another for what they have never done to you.
And actually experience what it means to radically forgive yourself for what you have never done.
And so begin by taking a nice big deep breath in all the way up to the top of your head and hold it and hold it and then I want you to sigh it all the way out,
Breathing out all the stagnant air in your lungs all the way out,
Clearing out the system,
Pushing,
Contracting the stomach and then when you're ready take another deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with clean air,
Opening the lungs,
Filling it with clean air so that oxygen can move into the system,
Filling up the body,
Clean air,
Clean oxygen,
Holding it at the top,
Holding it and then once again breathing all the way out,
Full body breath,
Breathing out all the air,
All the carbon dioxide,
Clearing out the system.
One last nice deep breath all the way in,
Filling up every nook and cranny of what feels like the physical body all the way in,
Feeling the air into the arms,
The legs,
The torso,
The chest,
The neck,
The head,
Everything.
Feeling good and present and clear.
On the next exhalation just go back to regular breathing.
And I'm going to ask you to bring up in your mind's eye the image of someone or something that has caused you pain.
Just trust that whatever is arising in your imagination is exactly what you need to work with today.
It could be a person that you know.
It could be somebody that you don't know but is representative of something that causes your discomfort.
It could be some sort of theme in your life.
Whatever it is,
Let it rise in your mind's eye and put your focus on them or it and begin Begin to feel the judgments that you place upon this image,
A judgment being the meaning that you give this,
Be it a person or a life theme.
Firstly feel your own projection and judgments outwards onto whatever you're working with today.
He is,
She is,
It is.
Stay absolutely focused on just seeing your own projections.
The list of defining qualities and characteristics you give this image.
And without changing absolutely anything,
I want you to feel the effect that those judgments,
Those ideas have on your emotional experience.
Feel the direct connection between your thoughts and your experience,
Your projection and your experience,
Your judgment,
Your interpretation of your own judgment and your experience and just become aware of the connection.
Do not try and understand it any deeper than this,
Do not intellectualize this experience away,
Just witness and notice that this image in your mind and the meaning you are giving it and the interpretation of it and the experience you are having is all coming from you.
Breathe in,
Relax.
And ask yourself a deeper question,
What am I making all of this mean about me?
And just let those beliefs surface.
What am I making all of this mean about me?
These beliefs are the subconscious stories that we try to hide from ourselves,
But this is really the content that we want to face.
What do we make all of this mean about me?
And just let those stories come up into your awareness and look at them dead on.
Now go deeper and ask yourself,
Could I believe any of these beliefs about myself if I firstly didn't believe I was separate from love?
And so we get to the cause of the whole thing,
A belief in separation.
Not conscious,
Subconscious,
But we're bringing it up and we're looking at it.
And so I want you to see that there is a whole story playing out in your mind,
Starting with the belief in separation,
The stories,
You tell yourself about who you are and the way that projects outwards onto others and then is reflected back to you,
All connected.
That's the whole movie.
And you're just going to sit and see the whole thing connected.
And you're going to bring your attention back to your center now.
And you're going to ask yourself,
Am I here?
And you're going to try and stop existing and realize that you cannot.
Try and run away from your own existence and feel that it is so close to you.
Even closer than the flesh and the blood and the bones of this body.
It's closer than that.
And I want you to feel that your existence is not out there in a projection.
It's not out there in a belief of separation.
It's not out there in another person.
Your existence is right here.
And so bring your full awareness back to all that is.
Take your focus off the screen of your mind for a second and put it in your existence.
And ask yourself,
Is there anywhere my existence begins or ends?
And go searching.
And actually feel that you cannot find a definitive beginning or ending for where everywhere you are,
Your existence is right here now.
And I want you to feel that your existence,
The only thing you cannot get rid of is not in parts.
You cannot fracture or fragment or disconnect from all that is.
Your existence has no opposite,
Feel that.
It is not defined by being male or female or young or old.
It is not a religion or an ethnicity.
It has no cultural history.
It has no human story,
No drama,
No trauma,
No memory of what never happened in truth.
And yet it is very,
Very real.
Deeper still,
Feel that it is in no way,
Shape or form contained within a body.
Your existence is not form.
It does not get old.
It does not disintegrate.
It does not die.
It never has,
It never will.
Feel through this eternal moment of now,
The holy instant of all that is,
And see that there are no barriers,
No borders,
No limitations.
It is in no way trapped.
Feel that it cannot be destroyed.
It cannot be hurt.
No words,
No guns,
No knives can damage it,
Because in truth,
Only love is here.
And that it does not matter what you think,
Nor what you create in your mind.
It cannot damage love.
No thought can damage love.
No mental projection can harm what is.
It never has,
It never will.
And I need you to feel this,
And know this.
Deeper still,
Feel that in this eternal holy instant,
There is no separate soul.
That is just an idea.
And yet,
Your existence cannot be separate from any other existence,
And so all of us are right here now.
No separate soul,
No separate being,
Just the truth of our one spirit.
Breathe in,
Relax,
Feel that everywhere.
And ask yourself,
If love is real,
And my existence is real,
And it's the only thing I can truly prove to be here,
Then does that mean love,
And truth,
And my existence,
And everyone's existence,
Is the same thing?
And feel that.
Open your mind entirely to all that is.
And ask love,
The voice of love,
To be here now with you in truth.
Love has never left you.
It does not come and go,
Even when you call it,
But your willingness to invite love into your mind is what is required to become aware of its presence,
Always.
And so make the invitation to love,
For it to be here with you now,
And say,
Love,
Voice of love,
Holy spirit,
The whole spirit within me that knows who I am,
And knows who all people are,
Correct my vision now.
And as you let that love flood your mind,
You can now look back upon your projection.
Look at the belief in separation,
And the thoughts you have accumulated in the subconscious about yourself.
Look at the person,
Or the object,
That you were first working with,
That you were judging.
Look at the whole mechanism,
And say,
Love,
Correct my vision now.
Does any of that exist in truth?
Bring up your projection into the light,
Asking the holy spirit to correct your vision,
And see what happens to your beliefs.
Does separation exist in truth?
Do any of these beliefs about who you think you are hold up in the light of love?
Is there a separate person,
Or object,
Or being,
Other than yourself?
Are your judgments and your projections the truth?
Ask,
Holy spirit,
Is any of what I am seeing the truth?
And see what happens.
Refuse to leave the truth of now.
And notice as you feel into the truth of the holy instant,
That anything that is not this,
Ceases to be.
And we begin the prayer of forgiveness now,
In which you say to yourself,
I forgive my brother,
My sister,
This object,
For what they never did to me.
I forgive my brother,
My sister,
This object,
For what they never did to me.
I have never been harmed in truth.
I forgive myself for believing thoughts about myself that never happened in truth.
I forgive myself for what I have never done in reality.
I release my brother,
My sister,
This object,
My family,
Back to love.
The holy instant of now.
I release them in my mind,
Back to their eternal innocence.
I release myself in my mind,
Back into the eternal ocean of love,
Now.
For the truth is,
I have never left love,
Nor have my brothers or sisters or friends in truth.
We are all right here,
Right now,
In pure innocence,
Never having done anything to each other in truth.
We are all free.
I forgive myself for the blame that never happened in truth.
I am innocent,
As are all beings.
I forgive myself for the projection that never happened in truth.
For all there is,
Is now.
I forgive myself and all others,
My brother,
My sister,
This object,
For what we have never done,
For none of us left love.
In truth,
There is nothing to defend.
No one to attack.
No reason to judge.
No threat to defend myself against.
And I can say that,
As I sit in truth,
In the experience of now,
I am free,
As are my brothers and sisters,
And all beings in truth.
And feel that,
Again,
Feel your existence.
Try and stop existing and realize you cannot.
And feel where that existence is.
This is the oneness of all.
Feel that nothing wrong has ever happened.
Never has it ever,
Never will it ever.
You never left this love.
You never separated from love.
The guilt that arose is not here in love.
And the great mental projection never happened in truth.
Only in your mind.
And when it all disappears,
And only love is left,
Even forgiveness seems hilarious.
But what has ever been done to any of us,
In truth,
Other than love?
And so turn your attention to this existence one last time and recognize your eternal freedom.
And the love that you are.
And the knowingness that all of us are here together,
In love,
In innocence,
Completely unharmed,
Unbreakable,
Unshakable.
And thank God for our existence.
What a joy in truth.
Ask God.
As we begin to feel the physical body again,
Ask God to be with you always.
And to never leave your mind.
And ask for the help of the voice and the inner insight of God to always be present and help you correct any misinterpretation about yourself or others.
Give yourself permission to remember yourself,
Your true voice,
Your true sight.
And feel that love will never ever leave you.
Always right here.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes.
More accurately,
Just the fingers and toes that seem to be here.
Just become more aware of this body.
It is a mental projection in the mind.
That's all the body is.
It's in the mind.
Created out of belief.
Interpreted in the mind and experienced in the mind.
That's all this body is.
No problem.
Fill it with love.
Fill this moment with love.
The body is a temporary creation of the mind.
And you can flood the idea of it with the truth and be quite content,
Really.
So wiggle those toes,
Those fingers.
Do not leave this moment.
Become aware of the room or the space that you are inhabiting in your mind.
Feel that love is still the only thing that's here.
Even with the room and the body and what feels like the physical world.
Still all happening in your mind and still only love is here.
Take another breath all the way in.
And as you are going to slowly blink your eyes open,
Need you to keep reminding yourself only love is here.
Even as you open your eyes and see and sense and feel what looks like a physical reality,
It is not as real as you think it is.
Still only love is here.
And you can see through that lens,
Know through that lens,
Even with physical dreams still playing itself out.
No problem.
So wiggle your fingers and toes.
Blink your eyes open.
Feel the room.
For if you truly knew only love is here.
Fear doesn't exist.
You can be joyful.
For love is joyful.
Not passive.
Passive against what?
It is just itself.
