CHAPTER 6
FORGIVENESS
By Chris Hamilton

Forgiveness
I’ve been through many lifetimes
I’ve had lives on many planets
I’ve felt so tired and weary
I feel I’ve kind of failed
Within my head, within my heart
Oh Angels of Divinity,
May we cease our wars and fears,
This world is beauty, and it’s love -
Our time has come to awaken now
So let us understand ourselves
© C. Hamilton 2000
I’ve seen many an unkind deed.
I’ve felt anger, hatred, jealousy
And left chaos in my stead.
Including Venus, Earth and Mars.
I was once so close to enlightenment
But slipped and forgot my way to the stars.
Struggling through lifetimes over again.
But each time this dimension pulled me down
And trapped me once again.
My low self-esteem being great.
Feeling unloved and deserted
Alone, I’ve felt fear and hate.
I know that others care.
And yet I can’t quite accept this love
Because such doubt is there.
Pleiadian Emissaries of Light
I call upon you now right now
To make everything go right.
Our petty differences and greed.
And know that what we do to another
We do to ourselves indeed.
Let us not destroy it now.
If we could but understand how much we share
And see our Oneness somehow.
To what we’ve all been through.
We are not judged we all are loved
And forgiveness of self is what we must do.
That we’ve all been everyone.
We share more than we’d ever dream
Around our solar sun.
No book of this nature could be written without some sort of chapter on forgiveness. Lack of forgiveness is at the very root of what holds up the spiritual progress within the human soul. Lack of forgiveness creates all the problems mankind has ever faced, lifetime after lifetime. Most of the time this non-forgiveness is of the self.
Rebirth, or Reincarnation Reincarnation has often been misunderstood. Many people have thought it means that the personality of the soul incarnates again, but it is not quite like that. Once a soul has passed over, that segment, or aspect, of the soul that lived, does not “come back” again the same. A soul is a Whole Being in its entirety, and only a portion of a soul will incarnate in a body at the one time. The particular facet of the diamond that comes to experience life again is a new facet of the diamond of the soul that still needs to be polished.
We could imagine the soul as a complete book. Each page is a year in the life of that soul. All the pages follow one another, as each year follows another. Each chapter represents one lifetime. All the pages connect to make the chapter that is one lifetime. Each chapter is a different lifetime. All the chapters have to connect in some way, but they are all different, yet each chapter is separate by itself. This is what our soul’s journey is like. Each lifetime we experience a different part of our soul’s particular journey and learn a different set of experiences.
The Romans were the first to introduce the Christian Bible as we know it today. Yet they were originally the ones who tortured many of the early Christians and had them put to death. Most of the earlier teachings were carried out by word of mouth, and these were gnostic teachings, teaching of rebirth as the central focus of our lives.
At the Council of Nicea of 325AD it was decided to delete any sections of the Bible which had recourse to rebirth. It was then that the feminine energy was taken out of the church, and male dominance predominated. Contstantine, the emperor of the time, had been a ‘bad boy’ and had had many members of his family killed. Although a professed Christian, he was afraid that if it became known that we are born again to ‘redeem’ our sins, he would have to repeat his life and make up for what he’d done. His wife had been a courtesan, or prostitute, and was behind much of this thinking. If he allowed the idea of rebirth to remain in the bible, then it would be tantamount to admitting they would have to repay in future lifetimes, for their ‘sins’. Such was their fear.
But karma, or repaying for our ‘wrongs’, is not a punishment. Rather it is a form of choosing to make up for something we feel we have failed to do, or that we have done ‘wrongly’. There is no right and wrong, for all is a learning experience. One of the greatest forms of learning, however, is learning to forgive ourselves for any oversight or for anything we feel we have done wrongly.
Bringing Feelings into the Light
Many of the repressed feelings that have been hidden all our lives are now coming to the surface to be brought into the light.
It is now coming to our attention how many times underhand and unfair abuse has occurred within the higher ranks of our churches and governments, where we would have once least expected it. We are beginning to hear many stories.
Politicians are being exposed for various illegal and sexual issues. President Clinton’s recent sex scandal was one such incident. Here in Australia a certain politician is facing a scandal for illegal use of a government phone card. Many incidents in politics are being investigated. It seems like scandal is rife. In the future all things shall be revealed. The Bible says “nothing shall be hidden from their eyes”. We will no longer be able to do anything in secret. If someone does something untoward, others will know simply by looking at us.
One other thing that has come to light and been unveiled in the past decade or so is that priests have been sexually abusing young altar boys. It may be that deprivation in any form is unbalanced, and the soul searches for that balance in ways that are not “politically correct”. We cannot condemn anyone unless we walk in their shoes, but we can realise that these things are now being brought into the light. In the case of the priests, this could well be because they have deprived themselves of sexual union all their lives, and are trying to find their life’s experience through whatever means they can. Incidentally it is through sexual expression that the human soul can find its true expression of self. Priests have denied themselves for years, by being celibate, and yet this is not the way the Creator intended it. We were always meant to experience sexual union as a beautiful experience between souls.
So many of our feelings of guilt revolve around sex. What was always meant to be a natural form of expression, has been dirtied and made to be ugly by many of the church’s clergymen. Yet we do need to understand ourselves, and it is through a natural expression of sexual intercourse that this journey towards the self is leading us. We must find the means within ourselves to forgive any and all of the feelings of guilt we have carried throughout our lives regarding sex.
Forgiveness stands out prominently as the beginning of Self-love. In every situation, forgiveness is the first thing we have to do if we want to find our pathway towards releasing our negative feelings and finding the unconditional love within.
When we fail to forgive another, we are actually seeing something that we cannot forgive or accept within our own nature. It may be something we had done in the past and cannot forgive ourselves for, or even remember, as we have pushed it so far back into our minds. Or it may be something deep within our soul, for which we feel guilty, carried over from another, or other, lifetimes, and it is still there today, deep within the recesses of our minds.
One of the most potent things in forgiving another is to understand where they are coming from. If we can realise why they did what they did to us, understand their upbringing, and see the reasons behind why they do what they do, it makes forgiveness a lot easier.
Like everyone else who walks this planet in human form, I have many such feelings towards others. It is inevitable that we will have some times in our life’s experiences where we find we are holding back, withdrawing, or blocking what is coming. We find that we cannot face certain people. It may be something they should have done, or something that they haven't done that we feel they should have done. It may even be a feeling of conflict, anger, or animosity that we feel towards them. We do not know why, and yet the feeling is there. They may have done something that we are consciously aware of, or it may even be something that we just sense, without knowing why.
The bottom line is, whenever we feel something like this a withdrawing, or a withholding of our feelings, we can always be sure that it is SOMETHING that we haven’t faced within ourselves that is triggering this feeling and holding us back.
The only way we can stop this blockage and face the person, or overcome the feelings within ourselves, is to forgive them. Even if we are not consciously aware of what we are doing, it is by letting go completely letting go of this feeling of tightness that enfolds us, that we begin towards the path of forgiveness not only of others, but most importantly of all, of ourselves.
There is always some underlying feeling within ourselves that needs to be dealt with, when we have this tightness. To forgive is Divine. This is one of the great teachings of the Masters. Forgiveness is the most gracious way towards reaching enlightenment as it is in so doing, that we reach a deeper understanding, not only of others, but of ourselves and our whole unified nature as part of creation.
Our souls are not new to physical life. Most of us have had many lifetimes on different planets, as well as on planet earth. We have lived on planets within this solar system as well as in other systems many light years away. We have had lives on Venus and Mars, and also on Maldek.
Maldek was the planet which was destroyed by blocked energies when Lucifer, who had charge over the evolution of this planet, refused to allow the devas to work with the energies that were needed to maintain that planet.
We learnt many things through our previous lives. When we look back and see why we did certain things, and understand ourselves, then we will see why others are also experimenting and learning from their own experiences.
We began our existence as sparks of living energy. These sparks were innocent souls. We came to experiment. We experimented through learning the arts and evolved beautifully on Venus. But we also learned to deviate between ourselves and those who were ‘less than’ ourselves and this caused much pride, bitterness and separation. Through a string of varied circumstances, some of us learned to fear others who were different.
We spent lifetimes on Mars. There we learned communication, and skills that we had known previously on Venus. But we also learned to fight. We learned about war. We carried over our pride, greed and bitterness from previous lifetimes. We remembered many of our earlier lifetime experiences as we grew.
Those experiences included helplessness at our inability to help others who had chosen insanity as a test for our evolving souls. It actually had the effect of blocking our further evolution. Many of us still did not evolve as we could have done.
We carried our wars and differences, our jealousies and pride, to Maldek. There we faced other experiences. When Maldek was destroyed, we were taken as light bodies in a cocoon to the oceans of earth, where the dolphins tendered us until it was time for us to be reborn on earth.
It was decided by the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light, who were our guardians, that we would not continue to have recall of our past lives on this planet, Earth, as this had proved to be too painful for us on in the past. So our memory cells were blocked when we arrived as third dimensional beings on this planet. Here, we communicated with the dolphins, the merpeople and the fairies. They were very visible and communicable to us, as we were able to relate to them one on one, in those times.
We found, as we evolved, the hardest part of our growing, was learning to forgive. We held within us the cells of the memories of things we had done in previous lives. We found it too hard to really forgive ourselves for our failed efforts. This is where most of our problems really began. We have a great deal of trouble forgiving ourselves, and yet we do not consciously even remember why!
The act of forgiving is learning to have faith that what we need is already accomplished. There can be no greater healing for mankind, or for the planet itself, than that of forgiveness. When people of the world forgive themselves, and release their past, peace will surely follow.
Forgiveness is total acceptance and letting go of all, or any, of our past that we are still holding onto. If we cannot forgive, we are blocking the natural flow of life, and preventing our lives from moving forward. Likewise, we are also blocking the movement of the planet herself to move onward towards its transition.
Many of us do not even realise that we are blocking our energies, or why. We may be holding a grudge against somebody, or even feel we cannot forgive ourselves. We may feel that a loved one who has passed on does not forgive us, or it may be us that we cannot forgive. It is imperative, if we are to move onwards towards the awakening of our souls, that we learn to forgive ourselves.
We have to see ourselves for who we really are. It is time for us to wake up and remember who we are. It is time for us to wake up and remember why we came here. And it is time for us to wake up and forgive our brothers and ourselves. We are not who others see us as, or even as we think we are ourselves. We are far more than that. We are a child of God, a spark of Divine, and a being of light.
Who Am I?
I have often wondered who I really am. I have had countless experiences with so many different people, and to each I was a different person. I am a mother to my children, a wife to my husband, a friend to my friends, an employee to my boss, a co-worker to my workmates, a daughter to my parents, a sister to my siblings, etc. To each of these relationships I am a different person, and they, no doubt, all see me differently.
I asked the question of my guides ‘Who am I?’ I received the following: You are the wonder of all that you see around you.
You are the beauty of the ocean, pounding upon the shore; you are the beauty of the peace that the ocean is; you are all that you see and so much more. You have the gift of physical life. This is only a portion of who you are. Do you not notice all around you that people are changing. They are being affected by the awakening of the earth herself in myriads of ways. The earth is reflecting back mankind’s own responses, with great upheavals throughout the whole planet.
Can you not notice the politics of the world changing? These are but one of the many subtle differences. Your economic system is another. These are reflections of what is happening within the changing soul of mankind the changing perceptions of man.
As man questions within himself the rightness or wrongness of his own life, so too will these responses be reflected outward by your Mother Earth. All is One. And what happens within the mind of man strongly affects the outward reactions of the planet. You are not separate and never were. All is happening through the changing perceptions of man, and the questioning that is going on all around you.
When man finds the peace within him he will see peace in the outer world. If man resists the coming changes, through his own refusal to accept that these changes are imminent and by imminent we mean within the next generation or so then he will find himself struggling more and more against the new energies and changes which are upon him.
Many are so entrenched in the way things “were” that they cannot conceive that the old ways and the old energies simply do not work any longer. They are expecting their comfortable way of life to continue. They are expecting money to be the god of their world, and so very many see this as the only way to the future, and their only future security and happiness. But therein lies a great untruth.
Money will no longer be the ruling tie that has held man for so long. He is awakening to the fact that peace and fulfillment come from within, and there is no greater peace, security, love and understanding, than the root of this feeling within.
When mankind has learned to share all he has, when mankind has learned to live for his brother, and give equally to all around him, in thought, word and deed and worldly goods, then he will be well on the path towards the enlightenment that the great seers spoke of.
The greatness of the human man on earth can be seen in his sharing on all fronts, the understanding of, and the oneness with his fellow man. For all those who seek, you are blessed, for your answers are soon to be found. You will find these answers within you as you listen to your heart and what it tells you.
For all those who suffer, your peace is assured, as you come to the understanding of who you are, and why you are here. For you have chosen this path for your own glory and your own learning of life. This is an honoured thing to do.
For all those who are finding stress in your life, you are also blessed. For the answer to your yearnings for peace is only a step away. You have this glory and beauty awaiting you as you step into your new day. Go with peace and know you are blessed.
We really must release the stress in our lives by learning to forgive, firstly ourselves. When we have learned the lesson of forgiveness within ourselves, we will find that all the anger, hurt, jealousy, pride, and hatred we ever felt towards another human being, will just dissolve. We will find that there is no more animosity against anyone, as we have learned to forgive at the very core of the problem within our own selves, of ourselves.
If we allow resentment and non-forgiveness to damage our souls, we will not be able to move forward with the planet when it raises its vibration and transitions into the new age.
Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts are like weeds. If they are allowed to grow they multiply and are very hard to get rid of. The best thing we can do is to get rid of them all, and replace them with thoughts of love, kindness and sharing, and allow our light to shine on all without exception.
One of the things that has caused this planet to deteriorate so fast is mankind’s greed. Greed is based on a feeling of fear of not enough. But if we could but realise it, life is eternal. We live in a universe of unlimited prosperity, and there is no need for us ever to feel fear of poverty or lack. We have everything given to us by spirit that we could possibly want. Thoughts of greed and want only come about when we start to let fear enter our lives. This fear causes us to feel guilt. Our soul knows its own perfection and knows that there is nothing to be guilty of. We must allow ourselves to be forgiven for any, and all fear based feelings we have ever had.
When disharmony is caused through ill will towards another, it upsets the balance of the etheric grids of the planet. This is why we so often see countries that have been at war, suffering the worst of the earth changes - the famine in Ethiopia, the earthquakes in Turkey, and the freaky weather in parts of Europe to name a few. All of these countries have been at war and shed blood upon the land at some time or another. The earth is responding to the unrest within mankind itself.
As I write this, there is another uprising of war in the Middle East. I hope and pray that together, those that are enlightened can make a difference. So many wars have been fought in the name of religion, and it is one of the greatest tragedies of all time. It is through religion that churches have tried to control mankind. Churches have become so powerful that they have held many in chains, spiritually.
The area around the Middle East holds a lot of negative energy. Only by sending healing energies to this area, to soothe the burning hatred and anger that is presently rife in the Middle East, will we possibly be able to help these tortured souls to forgive one another. The most important thing for these souls to receive at the present time, is understanding. That is what they need the most, even more than forgiving. We really do have to ‘walk a mile in another man’s shoes’ before we can begin to understand where they are coming from.
Better than trying to forgive in some circumstances, is to just not to allow resentment to fester. It is better to completely release others than try to forgive, if we find forgiveness too hard. That way we take away the energy that has caused the problem in the first place.
The collapse of the Berlin wall came about, not through forgiveness, but through total apathy. Those who were on either side of the wall just lost interest in why it was there in the first place. Maybe that is the best thing we can do, if we find it difficult to forgive someone. Maybe just losing interest is the answer. By releasing hold on something or someone, we let it go.
There was a time, when Atlantis was descending into the lower vibrations, that it took ten people sending love to heal one negative soul. Now that the earth is ascending, it is the reverse. It only takes one person sending loving energy to affect ten who are giving out negative energy. If we can visualise one person receiving healing and forgiveness of self, we affect many more. Our most powerful tool is our imagination.
I saw a picture of a youth holding out his bloodied hands from a window to others below who were applauding his murderous deed. If we can send positive feelings to help this one soul awaken to the fact that killing another does not stop anything. If we can send feelings to this youth, that his actions are pointless. If we can help him remember that he will only have to re-live the same circumstances over and over, until he finally realises that love and forgiveness is the only answer to the conflict in the Middle East. If we can send him healing energies to heal himself through forgiveness, and somehow help him realise that war will only stop when he forgives his fellow man, then the affect will reach many more, and we will be assisting the world to find its peace. It is the soldiers who do the fighting, not the heads of state. It takes each individual to awaken within himself.
The song “Universal Soldier” comes to mind:
It goes on to say,
He’s the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can’t go on. . .
He’s the one who must decide who’s to live and who’s to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall.
Those light workers who are here on earth, people like James Twyman, are singing peace prayers in all the war-torn parts of the world. Time and again, Jimmy has gone to the war places Ethiopia, Ireland, Bosnia, etc. and has asked for the assistance of prayers to go along with him as he sang his peace songs. As people joined him from all parts of the world, no matter where they were, things changed in those places where he was. Miracles happened, and wars ceased. The power of prayer cannot be underestimated. It is one of the strongest ways of bringing about positive change to the world.
Forgiveness is the balm of the soul. Without forgiveness we cannot move forward. Without forgiveness we cannot move towards the ascension that our planet is assured of attaining. It soothes every ache in our heart. It releases any pent up anger or hatred we might have. It allows us to be a whole being, living within a planet of polarities, and yet holding forth our armour of love towards our fellow being.
Once we have mastered the art of forgiving ourselves, we open our hearts to
whatever comes next. We are freed from the tightness and blockages that
held us in their chains. We need not feel guilt any longer. We need not
feel fear or animosity towards another fellow human being. We can then
become open and sharing, as there is no more room for any more resentment
within us. We will have begun the journey of healing ourselves and finding
release.
Once we are free and allowing, we find that we feel gratitude for
everything that comes to us. We can be open and grateful for every little
thing that happens to us. Herein we begin to see what can be accomplished
by the simple act of gratitude.
