The stars incline, they do not compel. The wise man rules his stars; the fool obeys them.
All forgiveness is self-forgiveness. Your [experience of] the world is the result of your combined state of thought and feeling - [your arena] of consciousness. [Since your experience of the] world is a result of your state of consciousness, then if you hate anyone, you are disliking a part of yourself. -Raymond Charles Barker
Forgiveness does not mean, "What you did is okay to me." It simply means, I am no longer willing to carry around pain in response to your actions". -Doreen Virtue
Forgiveness is my choice to release such pain, even though the memory of its occasion remains. Forgiveness changes the way I feel about the past in my present experience.
In releasing pain occasioned by other's mistreatment, I do not condone the mistreatment. Nor in releasing pain occasioned by misfortune, do I deny the misfortune. Though I may continue to remember my past mistreatment or misfortune, and to persist in restoring justice and harmony where harm has occurred, I no longer allow the pain of past mistreatment and misfortune to define my present experience.
The past is in reality a current thought. Since we can change thoughts and, thereby, change our experience of reality, we can, in fact, change our experience of the past. This is a principle role of forgiveness, changing the way the past shows up in our present experience of reality. -Ed Preston
The emotional and mental energy that I formerly invested in keeping past pain alive is now available to my greater aliveness in the present moment... and so it is.
Forgiveness is the path of those who would realize the harmonizing wholeness of their being.
Forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past. -Author Unknown
