What If? Exploring Forgiveness

What if there was more to life than just existing?

What if there was a bigger plan?

What if when we were souls, awaiting our birth into the human experience, we formed a plan?

What if we decided that in order for our souls to grow, evolve and learn, we needed to explore and participate in certain experiences during our human existence?

What if, in order to experience this growth, evolution and learning we deliberately chose those who would journey with us and assist us in accomplishing our task?

What if we imagined our life here to be like a theatre production? What if we all had our specific roles, our specific wardrobe, our specific dialogue within this story that, when delivered as it should be, ended in a grand finale?

What if all the people in your life, friend or foe, were in fact just playing their role in your own growth, evolution and learning process?

What if they were part of your life for a reason, and whether your experience with them was positive or negative, what if in whatever the role they were playing, ultimately they were only assisting you to a greater level of awareness?

Does this put a different perspective on your foes? Does this allow you in any way to ‘let go’ of grievances and forgive? After all, forgiveness is not absolving someone else, but in fact releasing and letting go from self.

When we ‘rise above’ and detach ourselves from our ego, our human form and watch the production of our life from high in the upper circles of the theatre, when we are removed from being ‘in the thick’ of the emotion, ultimately we will only see people playing their part, in order to get to their finale.
