There are many reasons in life to be afraid, hurt, hate, cry.  Sometimes I wish I could wave some “Magic Wand of Forgiveness” and just make the pain go away.  Not just my pain, but everyone’s pain.  Just one flick of my wand and… voila!

Young women would look in the mirror and see a thing of beauty, honor and stature. Young men would go out and forage to make a way for their lives, not succumbing to the weakness of stereotypes.  The churches would not be filled with greed and hypocrisy.  Love would be our religion.*

For those of you who have been put down, made to feel less than a woman, excluded, degraded or neglected.  I’m writing this post for you.  I am done with seeing the pain in women’s eyes.  I am finished with seeing the hope being lost in our young ones.  It is my passion, duty and life to share the healing of my work.  To see us as we are.  In full love.  Where the word pain does not exist.

Now, what if I proposed that it could actually be done?

Would you think I was crazy or needed to get my head out of the clouds?  What about all of the horrific stuff in the world? We do not see any of that stuff stopping happening right now, do we?  Anasha, how are you proposing to do this?

The Answer

I do not just want to leave you a post that boasts so much progress can be made to heal the pain of not just a woman, but a world.  There must be a short answer for this question.  Of course that answer is what I have eluded to all this time… Forgiveness.

I know some may think, “I forgive all the time, but it has not stopped any pain from coming into my life.”  Well, my sistah, I know that’s true.  I know it hasn’t stopped the pain.  The pain inside comes from our perceptions of the truth.  Whatever it is that we believe forgiveness is and does; that is what it is for us.

We must redefine Forgiveness.  It can not be some elusive truth, that everyone has a different definition for. I’m going to bring alignment to the definition of Forgiveness right here and right now.  Now, you can accept this truth or you can let it go.  But for now, let’s go with it, to see how this truth can heal the world.

Forgiveness:  To let go of all perceptions and accept what is in a space of having no desired outcome.  

Simple definition, eh!  I bet you thought I was about to go deep with it.  Nah, it’s not deep.   Let me go a little deeper into this meaning.

We think that forgiveness is saying that it is okay for others to do wrong or that if someone is forgiven then they should not be punished.  The word has been used loosely this way in courts and by creditors.  So, we begin to define forgiveness on terms of someone who did wrong being let out of jail or someone who doesn’t pay their debts being told they don’t have to be responsible.  This is a perversion of the true meaning.

When we forgive truly we do not judge what has been done, but only accept that it happened.  Then we agree with ourselves and with God that we are no longer going to continue to recreate the memory of the pain.  We can and will let it go, because it is already finished there is no other outcome to come.  When you understand the truth of this, you will be truly be free from all of your hurts.

Bless You:
