Seven levels of forgiveness


7 LEVELS OF FORGIVENESS - WHICH ONE IS YOURS?
In order to feel free, happy and satisfied, we need to constantly forgive and forget; not just to extend our love to everyone, even the people who hurt us, but also to show our love to ourselves. The energy of anger and resentment is extremely dirty. It can contaminate our aura and our chakras. The effects are not only emotional disorders (e.g. bitterness, sadness, dissatisfaction), but also physical ailments as well (e.g. High Blood Pressure, Severe Kidney Ailments, Arthritis, Asthma and even Cancer) caused by accumulation of negative lower emotions especially anger and resentment.
Based on Master Choa Kok Sui’s teachings, forgiveness is practiced by different people based on their level of maturity, and can range from Level 0 to Level 7. Reach Level 7 and see how your life gets filled with constant joy, happiness, calmness, stillness and inner peace!
Level 00 - NOT FORGIVING AT ALL
In this level, the person is unable to forgive the offender and keeps on thinking about him and the unpleasant event over and over again. According to great spiritual teachers including Master Choa Kok Sui, two things bind souls together: love and hatred. Most of the couples that have difficult relationships, parents and children who cannot get along, brothers and sisters that have a hard time being together fall under this category. They need to learn to love each other, break the wicked cycle and let go.
“Anger and Hatred bind people together! When you hate someone, it creates an “Energy Link” with the person. You become chained to the person and your Soul becomes entangled with that person. If you want to be free, you must forgive people.” - Master Choa Kok Sui
The good news on the other hand is that to break this cycle, forgiveness of one person is enough! So to avoid being with the people that seem to be a pain in the neck to us, we need to forgive them, forget the unpleasant event and let go. We can keep on blessing them with love while keeping our distance from them.
Level 01 - AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH
In this level, normally the person gathers everyone at the moment of death and forgives all and asks all of them to forgive him back. In this level, although the current lifetime seems ruined by keeping so much anger, resentment and bitterness inside, at least the future lifetimes are saved!
Level 02 - AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
Here, the soul, after several years realizes that keeping anger and resentment only affects him. In some occasions the person who has caused hurt, might not be even aware of his action. Therefore he decides to forgive and let go of the pain and suffering.
As discussed earlier, anger and resentment is like a hot coal. Justified or unjustified, it burns us inside and the effect is usually physical and emotional problems. Once the person realizes this truth, that forgiveness is for his own sake, he will forgive. Although a few years have passed in feeling unhappy and dissatisfied, the following years of life can be spent in happiness and joy.
In fact it is not always easy to forgive, especially if the pain and injury is high. Therefore some people in some cases need to consciously forgive and forget to release the pain and let go of the negative accumulated emotions. There are in fact Forgiveness Techniques that can help us forgive easier and in shorter time. Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul reveals some of such forgiveness techniques.
Level 03 AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS
In level 3, the person has already achieved a certain level of maturity and the Heart chakra is developed to a certain degree. Therefore the person cannot keep anger and resentment for long, not more than a few months. So once he cools down and recovers from the unpleasant event, he forgives the other person and continues his life.
Level 04 AFTER A FEW WEEKS
In this level, for the person to calm down will take only a few weeks. After few weeks of entanglement with lower emotions and thinking about the unpleasant event, the person decides to let go. Forgiveness in this case gives a feeling of freedom and lightness, as though a heavy load has been removed from the system.
Level 05 AFTER A FEW DAYS
A person who forgives in a few days is already familiar with the concept of forgiveness and has experienced its effects in life. Although he is still in the process of getting more mature and developing the Heart further, he can forgive and forget in a few days.
Level 06 AFTER A FEW HOURS
Level 6 is already very high and not everybody can practice it all the time. In Level 6, the person forgives in just a few hours. Any unpleasant event or happening makes the Solar Plexus chakra work erratically. The result is experiencing lots of negative lower emotions. It is normal and natural to feel hurt, angry or irritated, but the key is not to keep holding such negative emotions inside. After a few hours, when the Solar Plexus chakra normalizes, the person can let go of the negative emotions, forgives the offender consciously and cuts the negative links connecting him to the offender. This will bring about calmness, happiness and peace.
Level 07 WITHIN A FEW MINUTES
Reaching level 7 is actually the goal. One must be able to forgive instantly. Forgiveness is the key to world peace. By practicing forgiveness and releasing the emotional pain, not only we feel centered and emotionally calm, but also can function more effectively from the mental level.
The effect is clarity of mind, calmness of emotions and harmony and peace in relationships and in life. Constant forgiveness also increases the rate of healing and brings about better health. “By Forgiving and Blessing, you stop wallowing in mud and you achieve Inner Peace and Freedom.” - Master Choa Kok Sui
Let’s make it our firm resolution…To forgive in just a few minutes and always radiate love!

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness

Spiritual Health is the Key to Wholesomeness When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body. However, that view is quite one-sided as health is not merely the absence of disease. Being healthy requires more than that; it requires the entire body to function harmoniously and pre-supposes certain wholesomeness. Early to bed and early to rise, might not be enough to make one healthy, wealthy and wise after all! Holistic wellness is attained only when one has spiritual health as well.  Just as our physical body needs food and care, our spiritual body cannot be neglected. The spiritual practices of meditation, purification and character building keep our spiritual body healthy. While the right food and the right exercise benefits our tangible form, our energy body needs spiritual energy to thrive.  When we think of health, we tend to think of a state where there is no illness in the body.

Four Techniques to Survive Your day

“FOUR TECHNIQUES TO SURVIVE YOUR DAY” As we well know, modern life is getting ever more packed with work, family, social responsibilities, and more.  One hundred years ago, single-tasking was probably all there was.  We didn’t have a phone ringing just as we were changing lanes on a busy highway or work message alerts going off at home while squeezing shoes on our kids. Working too much and being busy morning till night can take a toll on multiple levels and even amount to a serious health condition down the line.  We say we should therefore re-organize our schedules and decline commitments or additional responsibilities to stay healthy.  We may even go for a career change or move to a town with a slower pace of life. But what if we could accomplish all we are currently committed to–or more–with a genuine smile on our faces and plenty of energy till 10:00 at night? Some of us can’t change our jobs or schedules–or we love what we are doing and don’t wan...
