The Power of Forgiveness: How it Heals
"When people bother you in any way, it is because their souls are trying to get your divine attention and your blessing"
- Catherine Ponder
My friend and I were visiting a local temple recently and we saw a family with a 4 year-old boy who had developmental difficulties; the child couldn't speak and had trouble walking. As the family made their rounds through the temple they performed traditional worship by circumambulating and bowing to the deities. Their son was unable to go through the motions by himself so the parents walked him through and prostrated him in the traditional manner by pushing him down, forehead to the floor, in front of each deity. He did not enjoy this at all, he wailed and flailed!
Although his parents meant well and were trying to accomplish something good and teach their son, there was a great resistance coming from the boy. He didn't understand what was going on, he just knew that mom and dad were pushing him around and man-handling him. Both parties were getting frustrated. The more the parents manipulated him, the more the boy struggled against them, the more the boy fought, the more his parents forced, and so on, until and act of devotion and beauty - the worship of the Divine - was not very beautiful or worshipful, it was more like an epic battle! In this war-front, there was no God-consciousness, just human egos getting angrier and clashing and thrashing.
My teacher Amma said that our parents and intimate family are our first gurus. The lessons may be sweet, they may be tough, but ultimately they are there for one reason: spiritual growth. After mom and dad comes many others who are here to give us the lessons that will either stump us or take us higher (it's all up to us). In this instance, the Divine was conveying a lesson to the parents by way of the boy, unless somebody surrendered and waved the white flag the struggle would just continue. The kid was not going to give up and he could not be held responsible for his actions - after all, he was just a 4 year-old boy! It was up to the parents to make a change.
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."
- Paul Boese
I tuned in and asked the Divine what was at the root of this families' display, and what would be the best resolution. Turned out there had been a past life where the child had caused these parents harm. They had not yet forgiven him on a soul level and were unconsciously acting out residual anger from the past. The child was acting out in response with fear and pain. I was guided to pray for the family, so my friend and I made it a mission to use prayer to set wheels in motion on a spiritual level. We prayed that the family would forgive and accept each other fully and completely as that was the source of the trouble.
 The next week, we went back to the temple and the family had returned too. They already seemed a little more peaceful. We had the chance to speak to the boy's mother. She said they had been coming to temple to pray for healing for their son. My friend asked if they were open to any insight on the situation and they said they were. I shared my vision of the past life and the need for forgiveness for old wrongs. The boy's soul had chosen these parents in this life in order to make amends, as their child and with his disability; he was totally at their mercy. It was love and acceptance that would heal them all. It was time to forgive. A light shone in the mother's eyes and she dropped her shoulders, she immediately softened toward the boy. The stressed out family of the previous week had now started smiling and relaxing together; moving about in ease and peace, the child playing and laughing.
This is just one simple story of the power of forgiveness. Forgiveness can change the world, when we forgive we turn bondage into freedom and sorrow into joy! I invite you dear reader, to share your story of forgiveness and transformation.

A Meditation With Archangel Michael  Image © 2004 Jim Lanyon
You are on a journey of great majesty and joy.
You are entering a new world of wonders and awakening to the divine majesty all around you.
Listen to the music of your heartbeat for it pulses with the rhythm of universal consciousness.
You are awakening to a new world.
A world where all beings are connected to their divine love essence, egos drop away into the silence.
Feel the stillness even while in action.
Feel your own being.
May your next breath bring you right into the present moment.
Your breath is a miracle;
Each breath is magical and divine.
Give presence to your being and open to receive divine presents;
We are bestowing upon you now love, light, and grace.
"The nature of Matter is change.
The nature of Spirit is changelessness"
- Paramahansa Yogananda
