Ah, the learning continues. Thanks to all who wrote me about the last message surrounding the forgiveness lessons I'm learning by way of a nephew who is living with us for a holy instant. I was dealing with my judgment of him for not making his best efforts to seek employment. Of course all judgment is self judgment, since this is indeed my dream. And my lack of peace in this simply points to my own call for healing.
Over the past two weeks my goal has been to praise when I felt judgment ("focus on his happy dream"), to offer help when I judged lack of effort, and to help him hold himself accountable. As Arten says in The Disappearance of the Universe, "It's not easy, but it's doable. And if you allow yourself to be helped..."
The result? The last two weeks have been much more peaceful. What's funny of course, is that the more I focus on MY own forgiveness lesson, the better he seems to get! There may be something to this practicing forgiveness stuff. :-) Remember me the next time you find someone in your life whom you believe needs to change. Happy dreaming!
