Trouble forgiving?

Glorious morning!

I would like to dive into the world of forgiveness and expand on a quote from Bryant H. McGill.

“ There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love “

Bryant H McGill was born in 1969 and is best known for being an activist, He and actor Matt Damon both signed The Goodwill Treaty for world peace. He is also an author, and a motivational speaker.

What this quote says to me is , if I may put it boldly to y”all, You screw yourself bigtime if you do not learn the art of forgiveness. Now why would I say such a thing? Well let's start with the basics. Holding on to unforgiveness is holding onto a low vibrational frequency in your spirit, mind and body. Emotions that carry low frequencies are hatred, jealousy, anger, grief, vengeance and sadness to name the main ones. You can easily tell it's a low frequency by the way you feel inside when those emotions are active in you. They certainly do not feel good. And the obvious is true for the higher more positive frequencies of Love, joy, happiness, Ect…. The catch 22 with the lower frequencies are, number 1, we are human and those emotions are simply part of our makeup and learning process, yes even the negative ones but they are not meant to be held onto. When we hold on to these emotions they start a process of degeneration, and that starts with our emotional well being, I mean think about it , if you hold on to anger all day long, you feel like crap. Hold on to sadness long enough and you get depressed. Holding on to these lower vibrating emotions eventually causes disease in our bodies that can develop in a myriad of ways.

I personally believe and have read supportive information that all “ dis “ “ ease “ in your emotions eventually turns into disease. The opposite is true for holding on to the higher vibrating emotions. When we are mostly happy and joyful, our immune system improves, which means we get sick less often, if at all. There have been studies that say optimism is associated with a lower risk of early death from cancer and infection. Yes, the study even suggests you can live a longer life just by adapting the emotion of a positive outlook. Our relationships improve and we just feel better about our life.

So I think we can safely say, having a spirit of forgiveness is a gift to yourself and others. Now let's get into how forgiveness and love are inseparable. Basically that means, you can't love and harbor resentment at the same time. So if we choose unforgiveness we are banishing love from ourselves and for the person. That's correct, when we don't forgive someone, we are not loving our own self. Our bodies don't know the difference between self loathing and loathing someone else, the body just feels the negative degenerative frequency that eventually causes damage to yourself. So it’s kind of self abusive to not forgive. Remember forgiveness does not exonerate the bad act someone did, it exonerates you from the harmful emotions. When we learn the art of forgiveness we learn how to let go of the negative emotion so it can't hang around long enough to do damage AND it clears the way for more love, the regenerative emotion. If we really learn to forgive we arrive at a place where we view the offender as a human being, an imperfect human being just like us. They may have committed a more hurtful act than you, but that's their own karma, how we respond is ours.

I learned that level of forgiveness with my uncle who almost murdered me at 11 years old. I'm not sure how my life would be now had I not learned the art of forgiveness but I do know I am happier than I have ever been BECAUSE I learned to forgive to the level of love. That is called freedom.
