Forgiveness = Receiving2

During a meditation a few weeks ago, I was toying with ‘forgiveness’.  That word has never been one of my favorites, but something that I attempt to apply to everything and everyone, not always with consistency or permanency.  So I was wanting to lessen the adversarial relationship I have with ‘that’ word as I went into meditation.

And the following was what came into my awareness:

Forgiveness is non-judgment.
Non-judgment is acceptance.
Acceptance is non-resistance.
Non-resistance is allowing.
Allowing is receiving.
Receiving is God-expanded.

So I repeated it back.  You mean forgiveness begets non-judgment and non-judgment begets acceptance and acceptance begets non-resistance and non-resistance begets allowing and allowing begets receiving. [I couldn’t handle the God-expanded thing yet]

I was told: No.  Forgiveness IS non-judgment.  Non-judgment IS acceptance.  Acceptance IS non-resistance.  Non-resistance IS allowing.  Allowing IS receiving.  Receiving IS God-expanded. 

WOW! Reeeeeal…ly!  I got it.  Then I don’t have to focus on forgiveness.  I can pick any one of its equals.  Lately I am attempting not to resist anything.  Like, the temperature is going to dip down in the 30’s after we’ve had such lovely warm spring-like weather for several days.

Want to try this with me?  What have you been resisting?
