THE 3 R’S OF FORGIVENESS

Listen to this recording

You are not trapped in the world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be identified and then [second] let go, so that [third] it can be replaced. The first two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final one does not (A Course in Miracles Workbook, W-pI.23.5:1-4).

There is a prayer the Course urges us to use whenever we are not joyous, and it contains within it the three steps we are describing:

I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.
I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.
I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace.
I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the
consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.
I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.
(T-5.VII.6:7-1 1)

Bruce Rawles leads us through the three basic steps of Forgiveness as outlined in A Course in Miracles. He refers us to Forgiveness and Jesus: The Meeting Place of A Course in Miracles and Christianity, pp. 59-66, Fifth Edition, By Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

CLEARING by Martha Postlewaite

Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose. Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it. Only then will you know
how to give yourself
to this world
so worth of rescue.

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.” Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

NOT NO: TURNING UP THE VOLUME ON OUR INNER KINDNESS TEACHER’S GENTLE MINDFULNESS

Bruce Rawles has sought the rhyme and reason of life’s mysteries, both seen and unseen, from an early age. His “networker” mother continues to delve into metaphysical and esoteric realms sharing her love of “inner spaces”, and his pragmatic father, sharing his love of the outdoors, provided an opportunity to appreciate the natural world. Within this context, Bruce’s life continues to be a quest for the synthesis of “heart” and “head” approaches, the integration of alternative and mainstream paradigms; and the reconciliation of the sacred with commonplace.
