Glad you asked….it might sound counterintuitive but it is ‘been forgiven’.

To be forgiven much indicates self awareness of one’s sins….the acknowledgment and the asking for forgiveness. This abandonment of the ego allows contact with the divine….and results in the participation of love….thus to love much….

That is truly very remarkable. I've never been a fan of the Bible, having not been brought up Christian either (and happy given how much I see) butt this deeper interpretation and reading shows there is value in places, and many, depending on who does the reading.
Thanks again for the sharing.

pixiedust,

Thanks for your response. The Bible challenges us to make these deeper interpretations. Many spiritual books that we can read provide deeper insights. I have many books with long passages that I have highlighted and underlined. This has been enlightening and helpful. But most helpful IMO are the understandings that we personally uncover. For lack of a better word this requires a process of reverse engineering. We are confronted with a verse or passage and then have to contemplate a rationale that can uncover the wisdom of a particular verse or passage. This is the ‘daily bread’ we are given…..it remains for us to digest it. This process of self discovery…rather than accepting another’s interpretation….can provide an epiphany which makes us realize that our personal journey is dependent on discovering the divine that is within us and that we have been gifted with. The true Self learns that it is never alone but that its ultimate companion is the Divine and not other people. It may sound like isolation from others but the reverse is true…..you come to realize that this gift of the Divine is universal…..it levels the playing field…..😊😊

YES I have enjoyed the deep similiarities across religions and creeds to the truth if the transcendent unknowable.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here with us, Molearner!
