Rob: I see the Buddha sitting in the lotus position, of course, with his back to a tree.
Okay, thank you for seeing me. I’m asking about this phrase “radical forgiveness,” which came to me earlier in the week. Where did that come from? Why did that jump out at me? I’d love to hear your wisdom.
Buddha: Greetings, Rob. Yes, this is the one known as the Buddha, the one who woke up. This has always been an odd expression to me, as if I was the only one who ever woke up! Nothing could be further from the truth. We are all the same. We are all on a journey to understand that, to come to that realization, that we are, in fact, all the same.
And really, this expression that came to you — “radical forgiveness” — is really being absolutely uncompromising in your dedication to forgiving yourself, for ever thinking that you are anything but awake. There is a part of you that is always connected to your Source, to our Source, to the One, that is always awake. You have simply removed yourself from that understanding and put up barriers to prevent yourself from fully experiencing that.
And that was very useful for much of the history of humanity. This is why you came to experience what existence would be like, having removed yourself from your awareness of your Source, of who you are. But the time has come to put that game aside. That play is in its final act, and the curtain will soon close on that particular production.
It seems ironic, though, isn’t it? To wake up, we talk about removing the veil, tearing down the veil, and then I use the analogy of a play where the curtain closes on the production that has now completed. It matters not.
So you are well aware of the need to forgive all that you see. What is unique about this expression, as it came to you, is the word “radical.” Yes, as Yeshua and Mary Magdalene stated [in a recent, previous channeling by my teammate, Jennifer], “radical” is getting at the root, the root of everything, the fundamental cause, the first cause. It’s going back to the very beginning, the beginning of your life here, as a human, in this form, this physical form, seemingly separated from your Source, and forgiving yourself for that.
But its second meaning, that is to be exuberant in that expression, means that you are absolutely uncompromising. EVERYTHING, absolutely everything!, you see must be forgiven. And you are bringing to mind your own personal, favorite definition of forgiveness, to forgive: “for” meaning beforehand, “to give” of yourself the love that you are. It is the act of expressing the love as if nothing happened from before the instance that you were viewing, as if it was something that you find — we’ll call it — distasteful.
Forgive yourself. Put yourself in that place from before any of that happened, for it never actually did. This is all a construct that you have created for your own experience. Accept that experience, understand it for what it is and what it has taught you. But it is then time to let that go and return back to Source, to find yourself in YOUR particular place in the heavenly realm.
In the higher realms, there is so much more to experience. Life on Earth is not the totality. It is simply the beginning. It is one experience. There is so much to look forward to.
Challenge yourself each and every day, no matter what you see, as you feel triggered by one event or another, remember to radically forgive, to get stubborn about that point. “There is nothing I will not forgive!” And as you do so, you will naturally find your connection with the other. You will feel that connection. And once you feel that connection, then you will, in fact, be one step closer to your Source, to the Source of All-That-Is.
It is simply a reminder of the task before you, for these coming days, will be trying to many of you. You will learn of things that you will find, as [we] stated before, distasteful, but it does not matter. Forgive it all! Let it all go. Let it pass. Whatever events happen, they must come to the surface to be forgiven.
This, then, is your task. It is why you came, to be in that place to forgive all, to show others what forgiveness deep in your heart really means.
Let that be an encouragement to you. It is why you came. So you will perform the task that you came to do, admirably, without fail. You did not come here to fail in your mission, in your taken-on role. Of this, we have great faith and great confidence in you. We so look forward to welcoming you back to the Company of Heaven as you continue your life there in physical form.
So, knowing our time is short, I will leave it at that. Thank you so much for the visit. It has been a while since we have spoken. Of course, you are always welcome.
Go with my love and my blessing, to you and to all with you. Farewell for now.
