THOUGHTS ON FORGIVING
Jesus: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
Course In Miracles: The holiest ground in creation is
that where 2 former opponents have forgiven each other.
(paraphrased)
J Myzkowski: My former enemy was a mirror who revealed
the dirt upon my face. (paraphrased)
Kabir: The saint helped the scorpion over and over again
and the scorpion each time returned a sting. Some said
"do you not know it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"
and the saint replied "it is my nature to save."
Jan Freundschuh: When I'm having trouble forgiving someone
I mentally regress him to baby state.
Sri Yukteswar: The vanished lives of all are filled with
many shames. Therefore do not judge.
Bible: Judge not lest ye be judged.
Kabir: Forgiveness is a game only saints play.
April Baer: Forgiveness is a form of cleaning out closets
(paraphrased)
Nancy Taylor: Unforgiveness wastes energy as extra weight
is carried around. Unforgiveness requires the energy
waste of repressing.
Maria Susie: (re the Bible that God tosses our sins into
the deep sea) God has posted a no fishing sign in His
deep waters.
Sai Baba: You may blame me for the bad which passes through
you if you praise me for the good.
(God is the only Doer)
Gopal: It helps to understand in why people do bad things
that only a tiny slice of the pie of their
divinity was brought into this incarnation with them.
L Bertsch: Resentment turns a face slap into an ulcer.
Sai Baba: Not in the morning pond does the lion wash his blood.
The Buddha: The more evil done to you the more good do in return. (Buddha's purity was so great that those who plotted to kill him had their plans recoil upon themselves, not by his actions, but by the law of spiritual physics.)
Jan Freundschuh: (To a former foe) Now I see you as a pure rushing fountain ..adorned only by your own sweet splashes.
D Calleia: I went to sleep praying for an opponent, someone who
had repeatedly harmed me. That night God came to me in her
form.. and gave me a creative new way to draw my graphs.
SNS: Don't go down Rearview Road. It's one way.. and leads to pillars of salt.
JBO: So are you saying that you are getting the senior citizen
discount on your sins and the reduced weekend excursion rate
on your transgressions?
Saint Of Shirdi: It is the fruitladen tree which attracts a shower of stones.
S Anthony Grafio: To hold someone in past thoughts is to imprison him.
A Thakur: My uncle received the anger of a great saint. He
considered it a blessing.
Sai Baba: The actor who slapped you on the stage waits behind
the curtain to congratulate you on your performance.
Alanon (passed through SC) Others' opinions of me are not my
business
Bible: Judge not lest ye be judged.
Poster: Until past images are released, one is a blocked tv screen.
K. S. Hoare: The woman was not miraculously healed until she forgave
the horse who had thrown her.
(*perhaps all horses need to forgive their human oppressors)
John C Lehman Jr: Sometimes it is not necessary the problem
to solve but change the angle of vision and the problem dissolves.
K. S. Hoare: Part of her heart was tied off by God..
that the rest might grow larger.
Mahatma Gandhi: An eye for an eye makes everyone blind.
(Jesus came to make the blind see.)
Unknown: To understand all is to forgive all.
