Der Weg der Vergebung

by Michael Dawson

True forgiveness asks us to stop pointing our finger at the people and events in the world as the cause of our pain, and turn instead to the unforgiven thoughts in our own minds. Here we can create change, which will lead to an ever-increasing sense of inner peace.The book outlines simple, practical steps and techniques we can use to help us in our efforts to learn and practise forgiveness with ourselves and others in our daily lives. Illustrative case histories and stories of forgiveness and healing are also included, as well as methods and approaches for helping others to forgive.This book gives a clear framework for understanding the true nature of forgiveness, as well as discussing the implications for us when we do aspire to that path.In every situation in which we lose our peace we have found a reflection of what is unhealed within us, what we have not forgiven ourselves for. Our world is a reflection of our consciousness - life constantly reflecting back what is in our minds. So rather than getting upset when things aren't going the way we would like, we can pause and use the techniques in this book to draw our attention to what is going on inside.Though the underlying philosophy is inspired by 'A Course in Miracles', this book is applicable to us all, and is readily understandable by those not familiar with the Course.

This is interesting, that's for sure.

I do believe we can psychosomatically cause ourselves ailments based on how we think and feel about things. I do believe that forgiving most* of past trespasses in our lives is for our betterment.

This didn't sway me into radical forgiveness though.

The thing I disliked most about this, why I only gave it 1 star, there were 3 examples about forgiveness that centered around child s€xual abūse. Not just casual mentions, but specific. Not only was this unnecessary it is bonkers to me the reframing of a situation being forgiven because in one example it was explained that prior to incarnation the father and daughter agreed to this...

*I will continue to be unenlightened and unforgiving, because I do have a line and it's abuse of innocence. Reframing it as some spiritual event is abuse and allows abusers to continue victimizing. Full stop.

Really did not like this book at all... inner war is more like it.
