The greatest task the human race is facing right now is to put the past behind us. Truth is calling us to return to our original state of goodness.
Today hearts are broken. Everyone seems to have experienced some form of sorrow or hurt in their life. A lot of this hurt is now of the past yet we are still holding onto it and unable to let it go. Most conflicts are based on something that happened long ago and the original reason of the conflict may even be forgotten, but we continue to fight.
We experience hurt when we accept or believe the insults others throw at us and hold on to them. The other person moves on and forgets about what they said, whilst we remain gutted and so cause ourselves even more sorrow. We also cause ourselves a lot of strain by trying to control external situations and people so as not be hurt and so as not to give hurt, by nature human beings do not want to hurt others any more than they want to be hurt and feel ‘bad’ when they do. So, we seem to be either living in the past or worrying about future… and so missing what it is possible to do now to heal our hearts and the heats of others.
*** There is a need to forgive, forget and move on. When we give/receive respect and love … heart’s melt (no matter how hard they may have become.) So an answer is to send so much love to the one who has hurt you that you will find them coming to you to ask for forgiveness. To keep our hearts well maintained and not vulnerable to hurt: give something good as this strengthens and protects your heart.
*** There is a need to recognise our true nature is goodness and that by going against this we cause ourselves sorrow. Where there is truth there is love and wisdom and no sorrow. By nature we are peaceful and peace loving beings.
*** There is a need to heal our broken hearts, and that which heals is unconditional love. This is not the type of love that says: I will give you this and in return here is my shopping list. This type of love creates co-dependency and both parties become weakened. Unconditional love never stops giving -no matter what- and it gives strength. This is the love that God gives. God is our friend and His love fills and strengthens our hearts, and transforms our flaws. For this just take a minute to re-introduce silence into your life.
Just for a minute put a full stop in your mind… leaving the past behind… leaving the future to itself … and just letting external circumstances be… Have the courage to do this… and you will find that what you are left with is the pure goodness that is you.
