Forgiveness means you forgo the judgement that the behavior at issue is "bad" or "wrong".
The Essene Code of Conduct states: To forgive is to cancel all demands, conditions, and expectations held in your mind that block the Attitude of Love; that is to say, to cancel the conditions, demands, and expectations which prevent the mind from maintaining the Attitude of Love. "The Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke) word for "forgive" is "cancel". Forgiving is both mental and spiritual. The expectation, demand or condition is cancelled in our own mind. Forgiveness requires that we be aware of the error of withdrawing love from another. Cancelling is not the same as pardoning, condoning or approving. It does not wipe out the wrong of another. We cannot cancel another's actions or error. Forgetting or clearing the memory of the wrong is not cancelling. Cancelling is the dropping or removing the requirement that the other person perform in a certain way in order to be loved." Unconditional Love and Forgiveness by Edith Stauffer, PhD p. 132 |
