A key to Unconditional Love, is the willingness to forgive…..
With forgiveness, events and people are re-contextualized as simply “limited”—not “bad” or “unlovable.” With humility, we are willing to relinquish our perception of a past event. We pray for a miracle to see the truth about the situation or person, and we surrender all of our opinions about the matter.

Salvation is not an external event bestowed upon us but an internal process of transformation….
As freewill beings and cocreators with God, we had minds with which to build, but we built thought forms and desire patterns which deviated from the Law of One.

But the moment you put it away from you, you understand it—the whole thing is suddenly very clear. Continue reading
