Spiritual teacher Charles Fillmore had much to say about forgiveness.
He believed that any blockage in the life structures that we might experiences is probably because there is some place where we have not released, let go and let God – FORGIVE.
He outlined a mental treatment that he encourages should be read each day in order for it to be effective. Here it is for you to use during your sacred time –

Yesterday we celebrated a day set aside where the awareness of love is heighten and those who have the form of love they desire are happy and those who don’t have the form of love they desire are sadden. No matter what category you into, I suggest that if you truly want to know that love is, give your attention to the greatest love of all – Self love.
Learn to be your own valentine. “Healthy, Inspiring, Purposeful people know that loving oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. Be H.I.P. Learn to romance yourself more.” Why? Well, H.I.P. individuals know that you can only give and receive love from and to others only to the degree that you give and receive love from and to yourself. So it behooves us to love ourselves enough so that we can in turn loves others enough. One of the ways to do this is by practicing extreme self-care. This involves:

“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” ~ Louise Smith
Now if your time to release and let go. Open the palm of your hands and allow the grip you hold to loosen. Now is the time for a new YOU to emerge. Yes, NOW! Your highest potential is seeking an outlet into expression and that outlet can only be found when you release the junk of yesterday.
The junk of yesterdays are the things that no longer serve you. This junk limits you to the past. It keeps you stuck and unmovable without the possibility of new experiences and opportunities. Some of the junk that we tend to hold on to is unforgiveness, unhealthy relationships, grudges, hurts and miscommunication. We get to wound up in the junk that our emotions and triggers are constantly on.

Oops it’s on us again, another year to get it right.
The last two months of 2013 saw us going through a lot of changes. Some life altering and some were the usual practices we have as a family. My attempt to evaluate and declutter is simply a natural mechanism for me now. I have been practicing this for so long. Even if I unconsciously forget what month it is I will find myself making a list of the areas in the house to sort out, prepping new goals that are coming into my awareness and a burst of energy to clean from top to bottom.
For many this new year, new you concept is just that a concept. Everyone seems to be on the bandwagon of change and commitment but then a few weeks in the year and the excitement is all gone. The commitments are all forgotten dreams and desires vaporize like a pipe dream. However, this is a natural phase as what humankind is attempting to do is create a new habit and this is quite a challenging task. Creating new habits are comparable to rewriting what’s written in your subsconscious. All that stuff that is presently there has been written over time, ions of life and is second nature to you.

“H.I.P. people have release control of being the general manager of the universe. They trust that there’s a divine plan unfolding for the best for everyone. Be H.I.P. Trust that the universe has got your back.” ~ Coach T
We are not responsible for everyone in this world. In fact a lot of times we even have no control over our own lives. I believe that there is something much greater ruling this world, something that cannot be described in words and cannot be fully understood. Some call it God, the universe, life.
We do not have to take on everything that is going on in the world as our responsibility to fix. Things happen to us and to those that we love and care about, but still we do not have to make it our business to attempt to fix everything that happens. Some things we cannot fix, we are simply going to experience them – both good and bad. Taking it upon ourselves to carry all of the weight for everyone we care about is not healthy. We cannot carry the burdens of other people and we cannot fix them either.

“To straighten the crooked you must first do a harder thing- straighten yourself.” This was the thought we used to start out the noonday meditation this week, just a little thought provoking statement that will hopefully get us all to turn within. It was the Buddhist that quoted – the mind composed of ignorance or wrong view suffers from spiritual disease, it sees falsely. Seeing falsely causes it to think falsely, speak falsely and act falsely. To me this solidify that we must first straighten out our minds.

I have a confession to make; you know they say confession is good for the soul. Well, here goes: I’m a born pack-rat, coming from a long line of pack-rats. If you don’t know what a pack-rat is, it’s a furry mammal that lives in the dessert and makes its nest with twigs and all manner of rubbish so that it appears these creatures are living in a small dump. It’s easy for me to buy stuff (esp. books) and very hard to part with things. I have a friend who is a minimalist, so you can see a potential source of conflict right there. I am not always grateful to her efforts to keep my collections in check either!
