My experience is, that I go through a lot of layers and reactions, before forgiveness can happen throughout, in case it concerns serious hurts or harmfulness. And I believe it is important to allow the reactions to come out of the "system" before being ready to even concider forgiveness. A wise man once told about, how he would sit and watch television; When seing something, that was really not "on" in the natural order of things, he would say out loud "..I want it dead, and I want it dead now!..." Not that he would ever dream of hurting something or someone, but he took a stance against degeneration and said it out loud to himself and the "astral light". When deeply hurt, I have found myself going through a journey of chock, hurt, sadness, depression, not understanding why, and anger. Only when I have allowed myself to acknowledge that those feelings are "natural" to have, have I been able to detatch myself from the situation, and taken a stance in myself. Afterwards forgiveness can begin to enter the picture, and it is a relief. But not understanding what has happened, and why, can delay the ability to forgive - so quite a "long-term" process for me, sometimes.Anna Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210247468939714181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744678124170693052.post-8279809576001525482010-03-20T16:00:58.087+01:002010-03-20T16:00:58.087+01:00Dear Andrea, thank you so much for contributing to...Dear Andrea, thank you so much for contributing to this important dialouge. I find it amazing to think about what you must have been through personally and would love to hear more about your thoughts on how to articulate the process of forgiveness.God's Little Peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653169493941824939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744678124170693052.post-7728261849844029682010-03-20T15:38:43.046+01:002010-03-20T15:38:43.046+01:00Forgiveness is a choice!

I did NOT want to or feel like it at the time, but I knew I had to do it. If I had not, it would have never harmed that individual, but it would have certainly consumed me and eaten me alive from the inside out. I have NO regrets. I know my actions were what GOD would have me to do.<br />Blessings, andreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082891172963869545noreply@blogger.com
