Thought Adjuster: “Forgiveness is a multi-layered process set into motion by the honest desire to forgive. The challenge many encounter in that endeavor is that they tackle it from their intellect rather than their heart. Merely saying “I forgive you” does not make it so. You will soon notice that there are still pockets of resentment and feelings of hurt that keep bubbling up. How, then, do you go about releasing them once and for all?

The best approach to this soul-liberating process is to reflect upon Jesus’ life that abounded in forgiveness exemplifications. He was greatly misunderstood, emotionally and physically abused, and subjected to character defamation. In comparison, your self-righteous assertions of victimization often amount to self-pity.

Jesus never felt sorry for himself. He dealt with the earthly life blows by adopting an elevated perspective, ever more concerned about his heavenly Father’s feelings than his own. To him, the injured party was the Father he had come to represent. By not taking offenses personally, Jesus did not brood over them or schemed revenge. He distanced himself from the Old Testament retaliatory an-eye-for-an-eye response and, by turning the other cheek, he stunned his tormentors and the bystanders.

Forgiveness is indeed an act of liberation — of the self and those who dug their claws deep into you. It is also a process of emotional relaxation — only possible when the mind and its memories disengage from the inner conflict to allow the heart to do its job as the forgiver. Forgiveness allows for peace to settle in. Wasn’t your Master Jesus coined as the Prince of Peace? How else could he have forgiven if he had operated from a place of inner turmoil?

The dove of peace holding an olive branch needs to be released from your heart. Yours is to open the door of its cage whose bars are made of resentment and grudges. Once you set it free to soar, it will become your peace ambassador. Do not rescind its emancipation, as by doing so, you nullify your selfless act of forgiveness. Let it go so that it can drop its olive branch in the lap of those you want to absolve of any debt toward you.

It is the only way for peace to be restored in your world — inner and outer. Jesus makes himself available to assist you in that process that he mastered to perfection so that he could become ‘the way’ — the way back to the Father as heaven is a grudge-free zone.”

When Your Mind Can’t Let Go

When Your Mind Can’t Let Go

By Leo Babauta | Source

Posted on January 18, 2025

Sometimes your mind can get fixated on something, and it just won’t let go. For some people, this happens a lot — sometimes more than they realize.

How can you tell if your mind won’t let go of something? Some signs:

• You won’t let go of an argument
• You’re known for always wanting to be right
• You replay conversations in your mind, arguing internally
• You stew over an offense for a long time
• You hold grudges
• You get frustrated a lot because things aren’t the way you like them
• People get tired of you complaining or being frustrated by the same things over and over
• You regret things strongly, and wish you could go back and redo key moments of your life
• You can’t forgive yourself for things you’ve done

A mind that fixates is a human thing, but if you’re unable to let go, your mind becomes more and more rigid.

And this can affect your relationships, your ability to focus on the present moment, and your happiness.

I’m not saying that this tendency to fixate the mind is a bad thing. There’s a strength to it, a protectiveness, a fire. But what if you want to have a more fluid mind, and let go? Maybe for a bit of peace of mind?

Let’s look at how to let go.

Why the Mind Fixates

Let’s start with why the mind fixates on something in the first place. Let’s assume it’s not because the mind hates your happiness, or is dumb.

The mind desires things the way it wants things to be — and that desire is completely natural. We want things the way we like them. The fixation comes when we get strongly attached to things being the way we want them to be.

Why would we become strongly attached? Because of fear — we’re afraid that if things aren’t the way we want them to be, then we won’t be OK.

For example:

• If I’m wrong about an argument, then my fear might be that people will think I’m dumb
• If I don’t defend myself against someone else’s criticism, then my fear might be that I’m not a good person (or won’t be seen as a good person)
• If I don’t hold on to a grudge or resentment, then my fear might be that people will just walk all over me and disrespect me
• If I am frustrated about things not being the way I want them, then my fear might be that if thing aren’t that way, I won’t have control over a scary situation

Do any of these sound familiar? Your mind’s fear might be in one of those. Or maybe there’s another fear — but it’s likely to be a fear that you won’t be OK for some reason.

How to Let Go

Knowing why our minds fixate — because of fear — might help us to understand how we can start to let go.

We have to first simply acknowledge the fear. We’re afraid we won’t be OK. That’s an understandable fear to have! It’s totally OK to have that fear, and to have a mind that’s fixated because of it.

Next, we might ask, “What does my fear need, in order to feel that I’ll be OK?” The first reaction might be: “I need things to be the way I want them to be!” Which is, of course, the belief underlying the mind’s tendency to attachment.

But what if you didn’t need things to be that way, in order to be OK? What if you could trust that you’ll be OK no matter how things turn out? See if you can imagine yourself being OK, even if you’re not right about things, even if someone thinks bad things about you, even if you do something embarrassing, even if things aren’t just the way you want them to be?

If you can believe in that … then what would your fear need to feel that you’ll be OK? For me, I simply need a deeper breath, a little presence, and a little love.

Then I don’t need for things to be any way.

How to Practice Letting Go

Let’s take all of that and put it into practice:

1. Notice when your mind is fixated. This will usually be accompanied by frustration, or an inability to let go of an argument or offense. And tightness in your body and mind. If all you do is notice this, you’ll be making huge progress.
2. Pause and acknowledge the fear. Breathe for a moment. Notice that your fear that you won’t be OK is causing you to be attached and tight. Notice that it’s frustrating you. Now simply acknowledge the fear, breathe, give it some presence and love.
3. Remind yourself that you’ll be OK no matter what. Start to develop a deep trust in your OK-ness, by reminding yourself that being right, or being offended, or having things your way … aren’t required for you to be OK. You can be OK no matter how things turn out. Trust in that.
4. Now let go. Breathe, and acknowledge that you could be wrong. Acknowledge that the other person might have had good intentions. Acknowledge that you don’t need things to be your way. Forgive the other person, or yourself. Feel how loving and open this is.

I don’t expect each of these steps to be easy. That’s OK, we don’t have to be attached to doing it right! Just practice. See what happens, with a mind that’s curious.

And then see what might happen if you let your mind release, and be fluid. See what kind of openness might come.

with love,

Let Go of the Attachments that Hold You to the Illusion

Let Go of the Attachments that Hold You to the Illusion

Archangel Michael

Channel: James McConnell 

Posted on June 26, 2024

 

I am ArchAngel Michael. And I come to be with you at this time, these amazing times that you are in now, they are only amazing if you see it in that way, for there are many across the planet that are not seeing this as an amazing time.

They are seeing this as the, perhaps the end of times, the end of life, as they know it. But indeed, this is the end of life as you have known it. This is the end of the third dimensional expression, the illusionary expression.

This is the time of the new life, the new world, the new world that you are creating.

But you can only create that if you let go of the old, if you let go of the old third dimensional illusionary expression, if you let go of the attachment that holds you to that illusion.

And yes indeed, my friends, it is the attachments that are holding you to it. The programming that leads to those attachments. And more and more, you need to go throughout your life daily, momentarily, every moment, knowing that those attachments are falling away and allow them to fall away.

And I speak now not only of material attachments, but also human attachments to those people, those loved ones that you have been attached to.

You need to let go of all of that. But know that when you let go of those attachments to your loved ones, that does not mean you are letting go of them. It only means you are letting go of the attachment to them, allowing them to have their own path, their own way to go about their lives without you interfering with the path that they are on.

You can certainly be compassionate and loving toward them, but do not stand in their way.

And many throughout the planet are doing exactly that now. They are holding their loved ones as possessions to themselves and they are not your possessions.

They are simply your soul group that are here with you in this lifetime, just as they, many of them have been with you in previous lifetimes and in previous existences to the lifetimes here when you were in other galaxies, other systems, other planets, together with those ones.

And here you are at this time, once again, brought together as old souls coming together once again, and doing what you came here to do. And that is to raise consciousness everywhere, first within yourself, and then to all those that are around you. For that is what this is all about.

This ascension process is not just an individualized ascension process. It is a collective process. This is why you waited, waited from the 2012 time when many of you could have ascended at that time.

You were on that path. You were in that process to do so. But all of you, your higher selves, got together, you might say, as a council coming together and said, no, we will wait. We will wait for our brothers and sisters. And that is where you find yourselves now, on the cusp, near the culmination of this ascension process that you are on, ready to be in that first wave of ascension.

And then once you have done so, once you have ascended, then you are ready to turn back and assist those that come behind you. Just as you are the way showers, the ones paving the way, you are the ones that are going to be taking on the Christ consciousness within you. Just as Yeshua did so and showed the way and that many have shown the way since.

You are the ones as a collective, as a collective planet together, the first ever to have ascended as a collective along with the planet.

You must understand how enormous this undertaking is for all of you and how you volunteered to come here and here you are now to do so, to bring about the end of the old, to bring about the end of the old programming, to bring about the end of the illusion, and to move forward into the new reality of your creation.

And just as you created the illusion previous to this, you are going to be creating the new reality of the Golden Age of Gaia. And just as there was previous golden ages of Gaia of the earth. Again, you are creating the new golden age.

So as always, my friends, trust in yourselves, trust in the universal plan that is at work here and that you are a great part of that universal plan.

All of you together make up this plan. And we, those of you that mentor to you, we cannot do it for you. We can only do it alongside of you, assisting you whenever we can.

And then when you are ready, you will then turn around and assist those that come after you. Not interfering, but assisting them, guiding them, just as we have guided you.

I am Archangel Michael, and I leave you now in love and peace and oneness.

As You continue to move forward without attachment, take hold of your thoughts as much as possible and know that the programming that you have accumulated over many, many lifetimes is in the process of being purged out and in its place will be the new you.

Let go, into Love

Let go, into Love

Love Notes from the Akasha

Brynne E. Dippell, Ph.D.

Just a little note on opening to Love today… :

Let go, into Love

As we awaken, as more radiant divine light filters into our bodies every day, Life expands us, Life opens us to bigger possibilities.

The veil between the worlds becomes thinner, and a recognition of those dear souls we have known before, the Ones we are here to know now in deeper ways, becomes more apparent.

 

Recently, I witnessed a lovely young woman as she experienced a powerful sense of recognition when she first met the leader of a daylong event. Her heart opened wide on the spot. He recognized her, too, and moments in, whispered in her ear they had shared past lives. Over the course of the day, the love between them gently, sweetly blossomed.

Although he was her teacher… although he was committed to another...

And yet, the love was palpable. After the sweet outpouring of the initial opening, her inclination was to withdraw and guard her heart. Though the likelihood of their being together was small, I encouraged her to let the love unfold without needing to know where it would go. I said, “Perhaps this One is a catalyst for you. Perhaps this One comes with a memory of love shared to help you open to love again.”

“Let go, into love,” I said.

And she did.

And the places in her heart that had been closed opened, as did the places in his, with no need for a destination.

I reflected then that we all have moments where we close our hearts, when we don’t move toward the love that is before us. And so today, I encourage you to see where your heart is closed, and let it open even more. Open to your Beloved, to your child, to your friend, or to someone you simply meet along the way. Let your heart open just a little bit more.

Imagine the radiant, shared field of sweetness we could create if each of us offered just a little bit more love today. What beauty would be possible then?

What would be possible, indeed.

Let go, into Love today.  :)

Many blessings,

Brynne

Dear Ones,

It’s time to celebrate your new being. Even though there might be a few obstacles to your happiness, those obstacles will rapidly fall by the wayside. You now have a comfortable trajectory to your personal freedom and joy.

There will be times when your concerns might seem overwhelming or frightening. But those times will be far fewer and less threatening than has been true in this life or any other earth life.

This is the life you hoped and prayed for. This is where terrible events shift into minor irritations – perhaps not immediately, but more rapidly than you now imagine.

Yesterday was blanketed in fear. Your earth fears will now be minimal. More like stubbing your toe than breaking your leg.

You have entered a new world of being.

Perhaps you will have difficulties labeling this new life because it is not enmeshed in fear or angst; it merely is. And even though you will probably try to be who you once were for a few more days or weeks, that being is no longer part of your life.

So, you will whine and cry initially because your world is falling apart. Only to dry your tears and open your eyes to what is instead of what was. Your 3D life of pain and fear is over.

You will not fall but become buoyant, knowing deep within that it is over. What once was acceptable is no longer. And what was once fearful is no more.

It is over.

Again, some of you will attempt to hold on to your fears longer. Not because you enjoy being fearful but because that is the earth life you have always known. Being afraid of what could happen instead of what is happening.

Let go. Allow yourself to breathe the fresh air of this new world and your new life.

You have fought yourself and others. You have experienced unimaginable pain. You have saved others from their fears. But it is now over.

Welcome your new being into your life as soon as you are able. Some of you wish to hang onto what was just a bit longer. Similar to hoping someone you love never transitions from earth, even though both you and they know it is time for them to do so. Release your 3D self. It is time for you to shift into your dreams of peace and joy while of the earth in this lifetime.

 

So be it.
