I am grateful for the sharing on yesterday’s APLC call. I thought I had forgiven my father for sexual abuse as a child but when Gary shared forgiveness was freedom from my fears, I realized that I have more healing opportunities. When my three granddaughters were each age 8, I had so much fear that that little girl would become a victim of sexual abuse. The word “remorse” brought so much pain in my throat, my chest and my sacral area. I am now remembering this is the same pain that I felt when I indulged this fear for my granddaughters. Gary also shared when I forgive, I create Authentic Power and when I create Authentic Power, I give. My intention is to give joy and appreciation to my granddaughters which for me will be a new energy dynamic to share with each of them.

Blessings, Carol Ann

Thank you, Carol Ann, for sharing your insight about forgiveness. I also became clearer about forgiveness during the APLC call on May 11. When we were asked to think of someone we have not forgiven, I thought of something my previous meditation teacher had done. At the same time, I was proud of myself for not thinking first of my mother. I thought that was because I had already done that work and now view what happened between us from a loving perspective. But as we were going through the exercise, I started to see that the frightened part of my personality that was activated by what my meditation teacher did was the same part of my personality that becomes disappointed whenever someone falls short of very high expectations I have placed on them because of their position. I could see that it is that frightened part and not something about my mother or meditation teacher.
