Forgiveness is Best Served Hot

Guest: What about the
commandment “Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” Besides not lying, it seems to also say not to carry (bear) judgment around with you as if it were real.

Well, for the one doing the judging, it is real. That’s just it. Whatever you
judge things to be becomes your reality. And if your neighbor
does not want to participate in what others think of him or her, then the
Universe has to cough up somebody who does fit into their judgment pattern of
beliefs.

So we think bearing false witness, or any other kind of witness against your neighbor is a bad idea. We don’t even think you should hold the true stuff against them. Forget for a
minute about the false witnessing thing, something completely made up. We think
most of you can see that if you are making something up, you are not doing them
or you any favors. But consider the neighbor who really did do something awful,
or the neighbor who has an awful disease. Why hold that against them, especially
when you are the one who holds it?

If you hold them in
place of being a criminal or ill, you only serve to create more of it in your life experience. And most likely it
will not come from the one across the street that you know about. If you hold
them instead in the place of wellness and light and joyful living they will
either live up to your expectations, or the Universe will deliver you someone
who will. Your expectations set the tone for everything that comes to you. Do it
for you if not for them.

If revenge is a dish best served cold, then forgiveness is a dish best served
piping hot and fresh off the platter. Forgive and forget; really. See them as you wish they
were!! Hold them in a light that is sobright that you transform them into the person they would really like to be; powerful, safe, secure, happy. It is that light that will transform your world
and assure that you will always receive the happy content of your
thought.

Namaste,
