Forgiveness is the most important practice based on this understanding. I am not asking you to forgive for no reason; I am telling you to forgive because it is the key that unlocks the door to knowledge. Through the practice of forgiveness, you achieve peace, harmony, and love, and when you are in that state, you are in alignment with the nonphysical and Divine Mind, and you will receive information from that higher vibratory source. Your life will begin to change in a way that is beyond your comprehension at this moment.

This idea of forgiveness, this idea of not reacting to a negative attack from the outside world and instead seeing it as something that you can transform through love and through an open heart and an open mind — these were the teachings. 

Enlightenment is this: It is the absolute transformation of mind, removing all the blocks to love’s presence — removing all blocks, all fears, and all hatreds — and it is often accomplished when beings have done much work themselves, working with love energies, forgiveness, compassion, and these kinds of things. I had done much work through my teens and twenties and when I was on my trek to remove fears and thoughts from my mind that caused pain and suffering. 

I taught forgiveness, for judgment is indeed the biggest interference to connection to the nonphysical world. It is judgment that will keep you in the dream, separated from your Source, this being that you call God that is an overall, overriding energy that pushes you toward love, acceptance, and freedom. 

What I taught and what I am teaching now is this idea of forgiveness when you understand that all of the things you experience in your world are your own creations, so there is no point in attacking them judgmentally because you are literally attacking yourself in unawareness.

This idea of forgiveness is multileveled. You must forgive yourself for the error that you made in creating this world. When you look around the world and do not understand it, when you look around the world and hate it, when you look around the world and see injustice and suffering, then you do not understand the principle of projection. It is not until you understand the principle of projecting the unwanted into the world that you will begin to be able to come to some place of forgiveness and peace. As long as you believe that it is real (in the absolute sense of the word) and as long as you believe that enemies and evil exist out there, you are in the powerless place of the victim. You are in a powerless place of unconsciousness, which is an uneducated state. You do not understand truth — you do not understand that God is love, that All is love — other than what you witness through your mind, which is the projection of all your fears into the world so that you might hate them. The reason you have projected them is you cannot contain that kind of conflict within the mind. The guilt and fear would overwhelm you, and you would go into a state of catatonia, let us say, or have a psychotic break. So what you have done is separate all your fears, all your hatreds, out into the world so that you might judge them. You have heard this phrase, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” [Matthew 7:1, KJV], and you will not accept this until you understand that this world is your own creation and that your enemies are your own frightening aspects of mind that you have separated out so that you do not have to live with them. When you see an enemy or when you see something to judge, you must understand that it is a part of your fractured mind represented outside of yourself to give you some relief from your distorted ideas. When you judge that, then you judge a part of your mind, you feel it as pain even though you might not be aware of it. So this is where the concept of forgiveness comes in, and it is so very important for you to see it not as the way that it is represented in Church teachings and not in the idea that a good person forgives and therefore overcomes badness. What you must understand is that forgiveness is the act or the statement of your comprehension of truth, which is that any crimes committed by other beings are projections of your own mind’s separation and your own mind’s fearful concepts. To love and forgive those will allow you to integrate that aspect of self into mind, and you will become more whole. It is this state of peace — through the practice of forgiveness via the understanding of the truth of your creative process — that you will be able to return Home and return to a state of peace and wholeness.
