One Morning’s Meditation
During a meditation a few weeks ago, I was toying with ‘forgiveness’. That word has never been one of my favorites, but something that I attempt to apply to everything and everyone, not always with consistency or permanency. So I was wanting to lessen the adversarial relationship I have with ‘that’ word as I went into meditation.
And the following was what came into my awareness:
Forgiveness is non-judgment.
Non-judgment is acceptance.
Acceptance is non-resistance.
Non-resistance is allowing.
Allowing is receiving.
Receiving is God-expanded.
So, I repeated it back. You mean forgiveness begets non-judgment and non-judgment begets acceptance and acceptance begets non-resistance and non-resistance begets allowing and allowing begets receiving. [I couldn't handle the God-expanded thing yet].
I was told: NO. Forgiveness IS non-judgment. Non-judgment IS acceptance. Acceptance IS non-resistance. Non-resistance IS allowing. Allowing IS receiving. Receiving IS God-expanded.
WOW! Reeeeal…ly! I got it. Then I don’t have to focus on forgiveness. I can pick any one of its equals. Lately I am attempting not to resist anything. Like, the temperature is going to dip down in the 30′s after we’ve had such lovely warm spring-like weather for several days.
Want to try this with me? What have you been resisting?
