"Not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die."
Ann Lamott
I have always wanted to see my Mother after she crossed over to the other side very, very much. We were always tremendously close. She was not only my Mother but my dear Friend also.
I have "seen" so many on the other side. I was somewhat concerned about seeing my Father also for a long time, but at the same time I knew very well that it would take time for him to adjust and resolve so many of the issues he had that were very unclear to him while in this physical dimension. It was a very happy, uplifting experience when he finally appeared to me! What a huge grin he had on his face! (But that's another blog:)
But my Mother was a different dilemma..... I just kept wondering, where she was, how was she and why she had not made contact?
One morning during a brief out of body experience I finally "saw" her..... Both she and my Grandmother (Her Mother).
I found myself "above them" close. They were so near to me yet neither seemed to notice my presence. They both were engrossed in deep conversation as they passed by me.
I knew immediately that they were too involved in deep conversation about the difficult issues they had between themselves while on this planet in the physical.
My Mother had discussed these issues with me on several occasions. She had even asked my input seeking some of the answers. But then and even now at this moment in time when I encountered them both, I rea-lized that they had never really resolved these issues.
I knew very well at that moment that they were in the process on the other side of dealing with these problems between the two of them that they had carried with themselves for many decades. I also realized something else very important..... There is a great possibility that if we do not bring these problems to closure here during our journey on Earth, that there will be a continuation of our attempts to resolve them on the other side.
I "knew" very well that at that moment that they were displaying a very obvious determination of working them out...... In other words, "they were attempting to let go of the old baggage that would hold them down!"
After this is completed, they would have a lighter and more refreshing state of being to move forward.
I wish now to take this opportunity to share with you a method that I learned during my studies of Metaphysics of how to FORGIVE and let go of difficult times and issues with others both in the past and present in our lifes..... Actually, it is very simple and comforting if we wish to do it without making a physical appearance to those in question and it can be a peaceful meditative experience also.
Take a pad and pen and sit calmly and write "letters" that will be sent not via mail, but via your deep and honest thoughts! FORGIVE all those you wish from your heart and soul. I believe that I can sincerely say to you, that you will find a very heavy burden lifted from your spirit. I believe you will feel wonderful after having done so... You do not have to write them all at one time.....Take your time.... Maybe a few days or so. Always remember that we are all spirits traveling in human vehicles and that our spirits are electromagnetic! They CONNECT in some way.
It will be one less piece of baggage for us to carry with us when we eventually cross back over to the other side. You will feel soooooooooo much better. I know I have and continue to do so!:):):) More later....
Love and Light!
Marshall
