Forgiving Your Enemies

Can you imagine the energy saved or better yetredirected and used in a positive life enhancing way,If you could just forgive your enemies?Honestly! the time wasted feeling slightedor demeaned, you can never get back!Why would you think it is better to dwell in the misery ofsomeone else's opinion of you, than to realize they are coming from an unenlightened perspective?When someone's energy is so intolerable that they can be called an enemy,Please, Please, see their ignorance of , and blindness to,who you REALLY are.They cannot see you for who you REALLY are, because they are lost themselvesand when someone is lost, you don't gaze at them with disdain,you assist them to the correct pathYour assistance in this situation, to yourself and the other,would be to take a step back, and realize this enemy, this brother,is one of your greatest teachers!To engage in enemy energy is to believe the lie that is told..about YOU!You know the truth,It is NOT your job to change their mind!that is a dead-end, it cannot be accomplished in the same energy as the conflict.To take the energy of hate, and let it enter your heart,does not affect the other as much as it does YOU!Hate is black and sticky, like tarit eats away at all the good memoriesuntil all your mind can conjure is the wrong that you think has been done to you,and that emotion feels like a vice inside your chest!Now, who is that hurting?If you can become indifferent to the words and actions of others,and stay centered in the knowledge that they are misguided,stay centered in your own joy of life,stay in gratitude for every hour of every day,for every person that crosses your path,and don't waste it with thoughts of division and vengeancethat is poison,don't drink the poisonforgive your enemiesthe sooner, the betterfor they will feel the shift your forgiveness of them facilitatesand THAT starts the energy of changing mindsand ripples out into the rest of the world
