Something Radical — Forgiveness — Fallen Tree — Headless Now — Lyrical Prose

Something radical:

what I’m called to do here is something radical, transformative in the sense that the entire world is changed through my own practice of forgiveness. The power of healing is placed directly on me, only I’m involved, and it’s an interior process that no one else is even witness too, quietly releasing my every fear-based projections that keeps the world trapped in this illusion.

simply forgiving my way to a better world.

by illusion I don’t mean to imply that our experiences aren’t real, this isn’t bypassing any trauma or suffering. It’s more of a deep involvement with ourselves, one that allows us to navigate our interior landscape for the actual cause of every sorrow, exploring the hurt that calls for a healing through forgiveness. The world is illusory due to our own entrapment of a false impression. We’re seeing life tinted through the lens of our attachments and aversions, our fears, and the belief that we are a small and limited ego. These are all projected outward and trap the world in suffering through the illusions that we offer.

forgiveness shows us a better way to see the world.

and again, no one is involved.

each of us called to something radical.

we forgive our projections…

continuously so,

until we heal ourselves.

and then the world.

~

Peace, Eric
