When I was first introduced to the concept of Radical Forgiveness, I resonated with it immediately and had an intense knowing that this concept was not only going to prove invaluable for myself, but also would be a focus of my work as I set upon – teaching classes, conducting study groups, and providing Life Coaching on an individual basis. The book Radical Forgiveness, by Colin C. Tipping is a great foundation for understanding the essence of the teachings, though Radical Forgiveness requires little beyond willingness and an understanding that everything truly does happen for a reason.
The blessings of this work are many, but primarily is the release of “victimhood”. Look back at your life so far and see if you can see that during your most difficult times, also came your greatest growth. Could it be that much of your lessons were set up, perhaps even in a pre-birth contract to bring you just what you needed? Soul Contracts are an interesting study which goes along with everything happens for a reason and once concepts are learned and understood, shifts in your attitudes and perspectives can be life altering.
It seems to be that we needed something to take us beyond the dramas of our life, an understanding of the bigger picture, and that seems to have been hidden from us. When we awaken to this truth, that all is in divine order, we are able to step back, see the bigger picture, learn the lessons we were given and an understanding of the true meaning of our suffering comes forth and we may well be able to transform it immediately. We can then adopt a way of living based on true forgiveness, unconditional love, and peace. To transform the energy of the victim archetype, we must be able to experience it fully and completely. Could it be that is why we were so anxious to take on this physical life, to fast forward our spiritual growth and understanding? Jesus taught, there are no victims – we seemed to have forgotten that lesson. True forgiveness means letting go completely of victim consciousness.
I understand that some of the ideas presented here can be very challenging especially for those carrying so much pain. Would you not like to find a way to release that pain? This work can be extremely freeing and healing. Radical Forgiveness challenges us to radically shift our perception of the world and of our interpretations of what happens to us in our lives so that we can stop being a victim.
My goal is to help the planet make this shift. I immediately set upon becoming a certified Radical Forgiveness book study leader. With that in place, I am soon starting a Radical Forgiveness study group, a pilot group in the Fall of 2010. It is my hope then to bring this very important work out into the community. You may contact me through my website below for further information, and to be added to the list of those interested in participating in these groups.
