Extreme Forgiveness

Extreme Forgiveness acts something like ‘A Sweeper.’ It sweeps your inner and outer conscious universe, seeking to find the energies of the unresolved issues that you have not forgiven yourself for, either in this lifetime or previous lives.

We commonly hear ourselves say, ‘I can’t forgive myself. I can’t forgive myself.’ The essence of Extreme Forgiveness is primarily about forgiving the Self.

Forgive means to give. When forgiving another person, forgiveness lays a blessing upon them. I forgive you means ‘I bless you’ and your transgression does not hurt me any longer for I allow it to leave me.

To forgive the Self is to allow yourself to receive a blessing.
The act of forgiving gives up the attachment to resentment or pain. When we say, ‘I forgive you,’ it means that I let go of my resentment of the pain that has been caused to me by your actions. It is far easier to forgive another than to forgive one’s Self, but it is in the self-forgiveness that the release from pain and suffering can take place and healing truly begin.

The deepest part of the Self is where the original pain is held. The pain surrounds the issues for which we have not experienced forgiveness. If we injure another person, we must first forgive ourselves, as that is an acknowledgement that we have gone against the truth in our heart. At a higher or soul level the forgiveness takes place automatically. The soul holds no grudge, energy or emotion. At a human level, the none-forgiveness allows the energy and pain to remain in place as a kind of karmic reminder that prods you in the physical body until you hear the issue behind the pain and pay it some attention.

We often cause injury and pain to others through our own misunderstandings and inabilities to cope with life. Life can be difficult and painful and in our self seeking, but human need to find comfort and solace for our torn and damaged emotions, we can often inadvertently injure the feelings and emotions of others. When we injure others, we injure ourselves by reflection and through our inability to find answers in a more appropriate way. Give thanks to the pain for alerting you to the problem. Life-time after life-time after life-time, we have all perpetrated sins or actions against others; sometimes unconsciously and sometimes with deliberation. We can’t take it back, but we can try to learn to respond differently from how our conscience feels about our transgressions.

For pain to leave the body and the heart, forgiveness must take place within. Guilt and shame keeps the pain in place. The guilt and shame are often used as self-created emotions, driven by unworthiness, to punish ourselves. To ensure that we remain un-forgiven. The guilt and shame maintain our position of feeling unworthy of experiencing the freedom from pain. Unworthy of feeling loved. Unworthy of being loved. Unworthy of loving your Self. The sub-conscious may also take the power in guilt and shame and use it against us to reinforce the unworthiness. Unworthiness is within us all at some level. It can be a very active force in preventing us from healing and evolving. In order to truly forgive ourselves, we must first feel worthy of that forgiveness and be ready to let go of pain and accept the gift of a blessing.

Extreme Forgiveness helps you to find your own truth; helps you to find the worthiness within you; helps you to accept forgiveness for your Self and so helps to set you free from the inner pain and turmoil where you have not allowed yourself to receive or accept forgiveness. As you learn to forgive yourself, so the reflection of this change within you will release others from their pain, and forgiveness can then be reciprocated.

Like the Essence of Tibble Labyrinth, Extreme Forgiveness falls outside of the general remit of the Positive Enhancers and Negative Neutralisers of the Extreme Essence Repertoire.
