Am I Willing to Forgive Myself Today?

I am encouraging all of us to use The Pause today as a practice in
forgiving one’s self. It’s a tall order I know, yet it is in forgiving myself that I will most certainly forgive others.

WHY?
As I see myself, I see another.
As I see another, I see myself.

WHOA. HANG ON. DON’T LEAVE!

The truth can be painful. Not because
truth in and of itself is painful; no, truth brings great relief
in my experience. Truth can seem to be painful and cause suffering
when I resist it.

“What do I still need to forgive myself for?”
I’ll ask this right now. First I pause, get out of my own way, and
open to receiving an answer from inner Wisdom.

Here’s a LIVE Conversation As It Transpires Between Wisdom within and myself

Wisdom
Mary, if I were to tell you what you need to forgive yourself for,
you wouldn’t believe me.

Me
Try me. What do I still need to forgive myself for?

Wisdom
You need to forgive yourself for thinking that there is still something that you need to forgive yourself for. Your errors have already been forgiven you. It is your rejection of having been forgiven that needs your attention.

Me
That’s interesting. On my walk just now I was feeling rejected by someone and then I thought of the many ways I reject others. Rejection is painful, whether I am the “rejectee” or the “rejector”.

Wisdom
That conversation you were having with yourself about rejection has led to this Pause Post and you are now being given awareness around accepting that you have been forgiven ~ for it is not All~Encompassing LOVE who is rejecting you or teaching you to reject others.

Rather it is the lack of LOVE you are experiencing because you are refusing to accept LOVE in all its TOTALITY;
this LOVE that loves you, and whose
forgiveness is resting upon your shoulders ~ still.

I leave you and your Pause Practice in the hands of
All~Encompassing LOVE
