Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

The suggestion raises all manner of questions as we can all understand I think.

" He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love.”

If you can't love then part of your 'Wholeness ' is broken/out of alignment, forgiveness turns to love and complete, entire and undivided body, mind and spirit.

Hello dagmar ,Honza, falling leaves, white pegasus ,Miss Hepburn, Sky123-- and any others who may feel like joining in.

If choosing (big if) "being of the whole" as a reasoned/ reasonable description/representation of "wholeness", what/how/why is required to turn this sort of mental concept of logical inevitability---if that is an acceptable though makeshift representation of that description---into a realised experience?

Not a trick question nor rhetorical, honestly hoping to be able share others thoughts (some already expressed/contributed completely or in part I think.

Shuffle, whoops, down, up, left, right, wrong---onward.
In company, agreeing or otherwise, would be great(Imo). petex

Many words... I bolded what is the question for me.

What is required?
#1 Desire
#2 Then, focused discipline, constant intention, deliberate effort, conscious steadfastness.
('Nose to the grindstone')

Like anything you want that might be a bit hard to attain.

Why is it required?
To lessen suffering
or if you have had a direct exp of 'being whole', as you say, it is required because you will never be truly
happy until you are there again....goes back to eliminating suffering.


How? Follow the Path of your choice implicitly.

Hello Miss Hepburn.

Thanks for your thoughts re what/how/why?

I was listening to music on the radio in the early hours and heard these couple of lines as part of a commercial break between performances:-

"When you're part of it
You put your heart into it".

Which set me wondering about turning the cause and effect of that statement around---

When you put your heart into it
You're part of it

Which then brought to mind the motto which has adorned many a home:--

"Home is where the heart is.". Cheers. petex

this is one thing I'm working on. One act!! I have forgiven nearly everyone in my life EXCEPT myself, because I'm very empathic, and i knkw why everyone acts in such hurtful ways.

This world can be cruel and unforgiving and a big school for hard, hard lessons. Forgiving myself for everything; my childhood traumas, my inner wounds that I neglected since i was 7 years old, my losses, my every little freaking thing that hurts and forgiving everything is supremely important. God forgave me long ago, its time to catch up.

Hello M. Tesla.

Thanks for your post allowing us a glimpse into your personal back story and how that has required you to visit forgiveness as being central to recovery and wellbeing. With no need to go into greater detail I think we can understand that you have been faced with challenging circumstances, and perhaps that remains the case.

There is a short sharing of thoughts elsewhere on these pages regarding our unique "back stories" and the part they play in shaping all manner of the facets of our existence. Raising questions concerning being properly and empathically sensitive when sitting in judgement--and if in judgement then also in forgiveness I think, for the two are linked.

I would say that empathy is a gift hard won, resulting from having been able to first gain insight into ones own inner workings.

All the best. petex

I would think the first step would be learning to erase the lines in the sand. Because you can't be whole if you continue thinking in terms of pieces?
