What is in the past has already happened, it is there and will always be there. There is no way to truly forget what has been done or said, it is now a thread in the fabric of all that is now.
The body, mind and spirit all experience things as we go through our existence. We can definitely heal and forgive but there is no way to actually forget something that has indeed taken place in history.
To heal and forgive is the greatest form of compassion for ourselves and the experiences of that past that require such in order to improve and progress.
In my own healing and becoming through all the varying experiences I have forgiven and accepted the situation but I still know what has happened. I believe this is part of why I come across more youthful as well, my heart is more willing to give even though this world has done a number to it.
As I have been pondering the current healing with thoughts of the future as well, I consider how I might feel should I be confronted with anyone from my past. I know that I would have no problem greeting someone from my past kindly and even maybe giving a hug, depending on the circumstance, and I also know that as the past has been done it also takes a lot to make it into something else which means that trust might not be as easy to establish for a reconnection.
There is that saying: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. I have been the one that tried repeatedly after a forgiving and I had to get to a point where I knew that I was worth more than continuing to be fooled, manipulated or mistreated in anyway.
Recently, I was told that I needed to forgive myself. As this was stated they also included that they did not think it was needed but that it seems that I needed to let it go. This is where I feel too much and have to ask God to help me with because I just feel like what I have done is unforgivable even though it is the best option for all involved and honestly the most loving thing I could have done for anyone that was a participant.
So the healing and true life experience continues…
What has been always will be and what continues is up to me.
Do you agree?
