Love is the breath of life.
Forgiveness is the knowing of Love. It is not the determination of right or wrong, and it is not the defense of a viewpoint. Forgiveness is the replacement of lower earthly energy with light. It is the willingness to let go of what was held so that a deeper light can be known beyond it.
The light beyond this world carries greater intelligibility for living. When we release what binds us to pain, consciousness naturally moves toward peace. Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is loosening the grip of meaning that keeps suffering alive.
A tranquil inner village cannot be built from resentment or anger. It is built only from Love. Consciousness is all that is alive, and every thought we carry becomes the world we live through. When we build with light, perception widens. When we build with lower earthly energy, reality contracts.
Lower earthly energy accumulates through ego, the little person, and satan not as beings, but as structures of thought rooted in separation and self-protection. When something painful or unjust happens, we often hold onto the energy rather than releasing it. We rehearse it. We revisit it. And the suffering continues not because the event remains, but because the energy continues. Love is absent from the meaning surrounding it.
The mind lives inside its own narrative, and in doing so, it often misses other layers of the story. We listen to the inner chatter, repeating the past without pausing to question the thought itself. Pain is carried forward when old meanings are rebuilt in the present moment.
Letting go of the past is not denial; it is presence. When we return to the light available now, Heaven becomes accessible in this moment. Peace is no longer postponed. The present softens. And life becomes lighter, not because circumstances changed, but because consciousness did.
Forgiveness is by Love. Not loving what happened, but accepting Love as our Soul’s living level to move beyond what happened.
Dhikrs
Building thought energy to carry higher light is all we are doing.
Mantras and dhikrs shape inner space by narrowing thought. They bring a single word or phrase into awareness and allow everything else to fall quiet. When thought is simplified, space opens. In that space, Love can move without obstruction.
Mantras are not meant to overpower the mind, but to steady it. They interrupt incessant thinking and return us to presence. As the stream of thought slows, we become aware of each thought as life itself, arising and passing within consciousness. This is how Love is kept at the center of all things.
The bridge formed by mantra is not repetition alone, it is attention. It ends the compulsion to narrate and opens the capacity to be present. Over time, the mantra ceases to be spoken and begins to speak through us.
Here are a few mantras to work with gently, letting them settle rather than forcing them:
-
I Love you God
-
I am God.
-
I am Love. I am Light. I am the Love that all life lives through.
-
I am peace
-
I send Love to ___ (slowly naming those you know, one by one).
Repetition alone is not the goal. A million recitations are too few if the heart is absent. When the heart warms the words, even a few repetitions carry great light. The mantra then becomes less something we say, and more a state we inhabit.
Let the words soften you.
Let them clear the space.
Let Love do the work.
One Forgiveness Practice
Forgiveness is not about what was done to us. It is about releasing darkness so that light can move freely. Forgiveness is a blessing we give ourselves the freedom to live without carrying pain forward.
What is experienced in thought can only be released in thought. We do not change the past; we change how the past lives within us. This practice works at the level where suffering is held.
Begin by bringing to mind a person or group you feel anger, hurt, or resentment toward. Do not force emotion. Simply notice what arises.
Now imagine a pitcher of clear water being poured slowly over their feet gently, patiently, without urgency. As you hold this image, say silently or aloud:
I wash the feet of ___ and ask for mercy and forgiveness.
I am so sorry if I have harmed you in thought or in action.
I love you.
I am Love.
I am the Love all life lives through.
Repeat these words as many times as you can, staying present to each phrase. Let them move through you without trying to feel anything in particular. This is not about emotional reaction it is about opening space.
The words are a doorway. What heals is what comes after the words, as the grip of meaning loosens. The longer you remain in this light of release, the deeper the healing permeates.
Forgiveness is part of breathing. It is the arc where thought breaks open and allows something beyond our perspective to enter. As this happens, the eyes soften, the ears quiet, and another way of knowing emerges.
The more we accept light, the deeper we begin to see.
And in that seeing, the weight we carried is no longer needed.
As we let go and let God guide we open a higher level of our Soul lead. There is much more life in us, and as we clear the clutter and remove the pain, the light within shines brighter.
